Find a Person on the FamilySearch Family Tree App

FamilySearch has a new feature on the Family Tree app for those who do not have accounts or have not filled in their Family Tree.

When downloading the app be aware that FamilySearch has two different apps.

1. FamilySearch Tree
2. FamilySearch Memories

I don't want to discourage you from downloading both but the feature discussed here is in the FamlySearch Family Tree App.

Users without accounts or who are not logged in will see a page to learn about your family. Click the Search for an Ancestor button or swipe to the left.

This page allows you to search for an ancestor without having an account or being logged in.

You will be given information about the family name as well as multiple results to choose from.

  Basic information for your relative will be displayed. If you want more information or functionality you are then asked to log in or create a free account.

Users who already have an account can access this feature by clicking the  more button.

Then select Find a Person.

Enter information about your relative.

You will also receive multiple results and information about the surname you entered.

Once logged in you can see more details about the person and their spouse, and parents. You also can see any sources or memories attached to the person.

If you have not tried the app or if you do not have a free familySearch account you should give this a try.
