Sonora FamilySearch Center

What you add to FamilySearch matters, so finding an unexpected change to an ancestor's record can be unsettling. That's why we built the Improved Person Change Log, now available in FamilySearch Labs, where your feedback helps shape the future of FamilySearch. It shows you exactly what changed in the record, and what it looked like before, especially when reviewing a previous merge.

Try it out and share your feedback: https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/on/D77H37SZZCSSNDHF3QZGT?redirectUrl=%2Ftree%2Fperson%2Fchangelog%2FLZ2Q-W96&cid=SO-00060787

A secure way to share living family information ⤵️

In the FamilySearch Family Tree, information about deceased ancestors is shared publicly, while the information recorded about living people was previously kept strictly private to the user who added that living relative. An update was recently released to the FamilySearch Family Tree and Family Groups where users can now share, add to, and modify information about living family members in a secure, shared Family Group Tree.
