For over 100 years, FamilySearch has assembled the world’s largest collection of genealogical records. In spite of our efforts, billions of genealogical records remain, many in danger of destruction. To economically preserve the world's heritage and facilitate research, FamilySearch must create a global network of communities consisting of commercial and non-profit organizations as well as individuals. Come see how FamilySearch has leveraged the expertise of Plus Consulting, SugarCRM, Drupal and the Cloud to begin to create a worldwide community portal and communication platform.
