The FamilySearch.org pressroom (media.familysearch.org) has had a facelift, overhaul, and well, let’s just say an overall upgrade! Please bookmark it or subscribe! It is newly designed for those who want to receive or keep track of the latest FamilySearch news. We believe it will also be a good source to monitor interesting news and select online content from industry blogs and mainstream news outlets that pertain to the fascinating, growing marketplace of family history. We encourage you to use the Subscribe to News feature to receive notifications of FamilySearch news announcements or subscribe through RSS feeds or visit us often. All news content and articles are easily shareable.
