Meet the FamilySearch team at a special open house held in the FamilySearch Center of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Join us for a rare opportunity to visit with some of the experts behind FamilySearch’s products and services and share your feedback. Product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, and service representatives will be on hand to demonstrate what’s new and discuss what’s in progress. Share your knowledge of records that need to be imaged before they disappear, and learn the Collection Management strategy for your geographic area of interest. While there, explore the newly remodeled FamilySearch Center. Learn more about the history of records and take your photo at the new Ellis Island Port of Entry exhibit.
