Discover your Family's Place in American History

Join FamilySearch and America250 in discovering, remembering, and sharing the stories that connect us all.

Take the America250 Challenge. America's 250th birthday is a once-in a lifetime moment to preserve the unique story of your family—and it's easier than you think. Honor one of your American heroes. Visit the America250 site to nominate a living person — a friend, family member, neighbor, or community leader—whose story you think needs to be shared and preserved. Explore your family tree. See how your generations fit into 250 years of American history. Record your story on FamilySearch. Tell the story of your family and how it has impacted who you are. Get help at the Roswell FamilySearch Center. Trained volunteers can help you make discoveries on FamilySearch.org and participate in the America250 celebration.
