We’re happy to announce an exciting new feature in The Family History Guide—the Q&A Center. This tool can be used both for individual self-study and for training family history consultants or trainers. In The Family History Guide, you can access the Q&A Center in the Intro menu or in the Trainers menu.

About the Q&A Center

It’s fitting that The Family History Guide was born out of the need to answer questions about family history … and now it comes full circle with a collection of questions and answers across a wide variety of family history topics.

The Q&A Center page has the links to a series of Google spreadsheets that contain questions and links to the answers. Each sheet has tabs with Q&A for each category, as well as “About” and “Customize” tabs.

Let’s take a look at each of the sheets, as of today’s writing:

Family Search and Partners. Tabs are

• FamilySearch Tree
• FamilySearch Family Tree
• FamilySearch Memories
• Latter-day Saints
• Ancestry 1-2
