Request for Family History Consultants to Find Evaluators for the New FamilySearch.org Website

The FamilySearch evaluation team in the Family and Church History department invites you to help us find English-speaking individuals who can help evaluate the new FamilySearch.org website. We need to contact individuals interested in family history, including you, but ESPECIALLY those new and inexperienced in family history to spend an hour of their time. We will be testing new and future design ideas not seen on the current beta version of the FamilySearch.org website.

Since those who naturally enjoy family history work will likely be the type of person to volunteer, we ask a special effort be made to invite individuals you know that are new to family history or are inexperienced.  We need them to help determine if the website is clear and easy to use. 

Please email the letter below to your family, friends and LDS Church members over age 18. You may also post the letter in your Church building or family history center. 

We appreciate your willingness to help.  If you have any questions please send an email to the address below.

Email this letter to those who may be interested in evaluating the new FamilySearch:

Dear LDS Church Members and Friends,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is developing a new version of the FamilySearch.org website. This new website will help members identify ancestors, link them to families, and provide temple ordinances for them.

Can you volunteer an hour of time to help evaluate this new website? Do you know someone else who might be interested? We need feedback to make the final website as easy and enjoyable to use as possible. We are especially interested in feedback from individuals who are new to family history work.

Anyone over age 18 interested in participating in this evaluation should go to:

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm. We greatly value your time and opinion.
 

Sincerely,
FamilySearch Evaluation Team
Family and Church History Department
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
