Family history and genealogy records had been difficult to search, share, and verify before the advent of online family history tools. Recent burst of family history in information technology has made data-mining of genealogy easy and efficient. Many people have increased their efforts to build up their family tree with use of technology, especially the World Wide Web. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has inspired people to get involved in this divine purpose. Learning about our ancestors can bring perspective and understanding to our own life. FamilySearch.com is a website publicly available to enhance this divine cause. There are more resources added everyday in the internet to help build family trees and learn about our personal history. All of us should utilize these resources to explore our genealogy.
A problem that comes with easier access to genealogical information online is the lack of QA. People are generally more accepting of a record they find on the Internet, so we have to be careful that we only use sources that are well-documented.
