Register to Access Training

The Family and Church History Department provides online training and resources to help family history consultants. The training lessons teach consultants their responsibilities and how to use Church family history resources. To access the training and resources all consultants are encouraged to register at consultant.familysearch.org.

Family history consultants are the key to successful family history programs.

Consultants have three principal responsibilities. Consultants:

• Reach out to members to help them individually with their family history. Over time, all members of the ward or branch will have the opportunity to receive family history help.
• Focus on helping those individuals and families suggested by the priesthood executive committee and ward council.
• Meet with new members of the Church to help them identify deceased ancestors and go to the temple to be baptized and confirmed for their ancestors.

Consultants might also be assigned to serve in a family history center, teach family history classes, and provide family history training.
