Note: The FamilySearch Mobile app is a simplified version of the web version and does require that you are comfortable using and navigating a mobile phone or tablet.
Have you ever had to fill up some too-long minutes waiting.... at an appointment at Les Schwab, for a prescription to be filled, or for the doctor or for the kids' game to get over?? Here is something to help made that "empty" time productive (and to keep your blood pressure down from waiting). Viola! Try the FamilySearch Mobile App!
The FamilySearch Mobile App consists of three major parts:
1. Family Tree -- is a full featured genealogy app to add, edit and share your family story and use record hints to grow your family tree branches.(You likely have already used this feature.)
2. Memories -- is a way to capture important family events as they happen, to use your phone to preserve photos or documents or to record audio stories from older generations.
3. Get Involved -- is a fun way to help make historical records searchable for free online, to make it possible for people to find their ancestors online, to give back to the community in a simple and easy way and to use your spare time in a meaningful way.
