Family History Research (FamilySearch)

Discover your family story through FamilySearch, a free service that helps people explore their family history and genealogy. FamilySearch locations offer access to historical records, family trees, research tools, and friendly support from volunteers who can help you get started or continue your family history journey. These centres and partner libraries provide free access to resources that may not be available elsewhere.

Exploring your family history can support healthy ageing in many ways. It encourages learning and problem-solving, which helps keep your mind active and engaged. Researching family connections can strengthen your sense of identity and belonging, while discovering stories from the past can create meaningful conversations with family members and friends. Many people find family history research rewarding and enjoyable, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and build social connections through shared interests.

Whether you are just starting out or have been researching for years, FamilySearch offers a welcoming way to learn, connect, and keep your mind active while uncovering your family's unique story.
