Your story matters!



Recent tragedies, including floods, forest fires, mudslides, and heavy rains, serve as poignant reminders of the significance of cherishing and safeguarding our family stories, photographs, and historical records.



Devin Ashby mentioned at Roots Tech 2020, “Most people think that family history is about everyone else, but perhaps one of the most important contributions you can make to your family history is documenting your own story,” along with your family photos and stories. Losing these precious memories can be heartbreaking for families.



Remember, FamilySearch isn’t just a resource for archiving those who have passed away – it’s also a wonderful, simple, and free way to preserve your living family moments, stories, and photos in a secure place.
