Church Of Latter Day Saints Genealogy

Church Of Latter Day Saints Genealogy

The Church of Christ of Latter-Day Saints has amassed a wealth of genealogical resources for Mormon and non-Mormon genealogists alike; in fact, the Church's Genealogical Society of Utah has been collecting genealogical data for over 100 years!

The original church was organized in 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr. and Oliver Cowdery and 30 followers in the Palmyra/Manchester district of New York. Over the course of time, there were various divisions and sects, but Brigham Young unified the church and incorporated it in 1851 under the title of Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the church remains to this day.
Most Mormons live in Utah, but the Church indicates that the bulk of their followers do not reside in the United States at all. Consequently, the Church provides centers full of genealogical resources all over the world.The former Genealogical Society of Utah is now known as FamilySearch and provides all types of genealogical records on their website.
