A new system for Ancestral File is being developed by the Family and Church History Department, and until it is completed, the department is asking members to hold their corrections for Ancestral File until the new system is in place.

Submissions will no longer be accepted for Ancestral File until the new system is operating.

In the interim, new family history databases should be submitted to the Pedigree Resource File.

Information in the Pedigree Resource File, Ancestral File, and unprocessed submissions and corrections to Ancestral File will be incorporated into the new system when it is launched.
