Family Search On The Road:

Please Download the Family History Work Sheet, complete as much of this work sheet as you can and then bring it with you to the exhibition.

A major free family history exhibition with over one billion names available for research is now showing in Reading.

The exhibition is called Family Search on the Road and features displays, free to use computer terminals, and state of the art software linked via satellite to the world’s largest genealogical database. Family Search on the Road will be popular with anyone interested in researching their own family tree.

Church spokesperson David Fewster said: “We are delighted to be bringing this wonderful exhibition to the UK. 2007 is the 170th anniversary year of the arrival of the first Mormons in the British Isles. During those 170 years countless members of the public have helped us in our quest to identify our ancestors. We now want to repay their kindness by helping others to use the database and build their family tree too. This exhibition is free for all to use and enjoy, particularly for those who have wanted to start their family history research but have not got around to it.”

He added "This is going to be the family history event of the year. As well as providing experienced researchers with local knowledge to help anyone attending, Family Search on the Road will also be giving visitors the opportunity to have a free souvenir portrait and learn how to download free genealogical software at home.”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has long been recognized as the world’s foremost authority on family history research with over 70 family history libraries in the UK alone. Their family history website attracts over 10 million hits a day and has received over 15 billion hits since launch in 1999 making it the most popular genealogy website in the world. The Church produced free genealogy software is now the ‘industry standard’ format used by all major family history software packages.
