Bob Ives, Executive Director of The Family History Guide Association, a non-profit charitable organization, is organizing a GoFundMe fundraiser for The Family History Guide.

Here is the information about The Family History Guide from the GoFundMe website:

“The Family History Guide is a free website that represents a best-in-class learning environment for family history. Its scope is broad, but its focus is narrow enough to help you achieve your goals, step by step. Whether you’re brand new to family history or a seasoned researcher—or somewhere in between—The Family History Guide can be your difference maker.”

Mission Statement: “Our mission is to greatly increase the number of people actively involved in family history worldwide, and to make everyone’s family history journey easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.”

Here are some of the unique features you’ll find on the site:

• Goals for learning, supported by flexible choices
• Step-by-step instructions to make learning easier
• Links to videos and articles from FamilySearch, Ancestry, and more
• QUIKLinks that take you to record searches from multiple sources, with a single click
• Training materials for self-study or group instruction
• Activities for families, individuals, youth, and kids
• Family history resources for faiths, including members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Catholics, Protestants, and those of Jewish heritage.

All donated funds are used for our outreach programs including RootsTech, Guided Learning, Zoom presentations and other activities. We have users in over 150 countries as well as a partnership with The National Genealogical Society (NGS). The Family History Guide was featured on the PBS program VIEWPOINT with Dennis Quaid with an audience of over 60 million.

All administrative costs are minimal. We have no paid staff, being run 100% by volunteers.
