The free genealogy website FamilySearch.org has added 20 new languages since August, becoming the world’s largest genealogical service available to anyone in 30 total languages. The website has been available in 10 languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) since it first launched in 2007.
FamilySearch users can create free accounts, build family trees, explore billions of genealogical records and add family memories and artifacts using any of the 30 languages below. FamilySearch’s Family Tree mobile app is available on iOS and Android if the language being used is supported on a user’s device.
Anyone visiting FamilySearch.org with a web browser set to one of the new languages can automatically navigate the site in that language. Otherwise, users can select their preferred language from the list of choices in the site’s language setting at the bottom of FamilySearch.org.
FamilySearch.org is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
