Zoom Talk: Getting the most out of FamilySearch.org with speaker Darris Williams

FamilySearch is a powerful FREE genealogical tool whose full range of resources is often overlooked by family historians. The website provides access to records of the Family History Library which holds one of the world’s largest collections of British and Irish published, microfilmed and digitised records.

The development of the FamilySearch Wiki and other recent technological advances are there for the taking. Learn how to navigate and make full use of all FamilySearch has to offer. Optimise your family history research by discovering the available resources.

Based in Utah, FamilySearch Wiki Co-founder and Manager, Darris Williams is one of the Trustees of the Society of Genealogists in London.

He began discovering his family history while working in England in the early 1980s and has a degree in Family and Community History.

With over 30 years professional genealogy research experience, mostly in the British Isles and Ireland, for 15 years Darris was the British reference consultant at the Family History Library.

He has been focused, for over a decade, on improving ways that research help is provided to family historians.

Darris is currently the FamilySearch Wiki & Community Trees Manager. He is a freelance genealogist, and family history instructor with a specialist interest in Welsh family history.
