FamilySearch celebrated its 130th anniversary as an organization in 2024, and the 25th anniversary of its popular website, FamilySearch.org. Millions of visitors made fun new ancestor discoveries during the year thanks to advancements in FamilySearch\u2019s artificial intelligence, new historical records collections, and RootsTech by FamilySearch, which continued its global reach in helping individuals make new family connections.<\/p>\n<p>FamilySearch enjoyed more than 285 million visits from across the planet in 2024. Patrons frequented FamilySearch\u2019s growing record collections, interactive discovery experiences like Surnames and Ancestors, and helpful articles on the FamilySearch Wiki and Blog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I am sure you are wondering how FamilySearch can claim to be 130 years old.
