Family History

Written by Nicole Farnsworth

People have been taking on new hobbies during the pandemic—cooking, jewelry making, or adopting new pets. One hobby, in particular, that has been on the rise is the study of Family History and Genealogy. With plenty of extra time on our hands, learning about our ancestors and their stories is a great way to feel connected to them.

Working Through the App

Through the Family Tree application (free to download here), you can begin your genealogy journey. The Family Tree app allows you to build a pedigree chart, search for relatives around you, and search historical records. As you develop your pedigree, the app will keep track of any tasks attached to members of your ancestry. Icons will give you search hints, which may include information regarding temple ordinance work.

Getting Started

Before you dive into your ancestral search, it is helpful to identify your genealogy goals. Determine what information you would like to learn, and—beginning with yourself—work backward in adding people to your tree. The next crucial step is to use any materials or sources you have already on hand. Some of the best places to find information are existing family members, old photos (especially with written notes or dates attached), and any old journals or diaries. From here, you can begin building your pedigree and research. The Family Tree app will give you leads on possible new information, like marriage records, death certificates, photos, and more. As you extend your research, make sure to stay organized so you don’t lose any vital information.

There are numerous platforms for conducting genealogy, such as FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, and MyHeritage.com.

As a young single adult church member and college student, family history can be a great way to connect, grow, and strengthen family relationships. It’s also a great way to stave off homesickness! You can even create new friendships with other young adults by forming a genealogy group.
