Our Research Team is working in conjunction with FamilySearch to prepare over 1,000 biographical sketches highlighting some of the 8,000 individuals Wilford Woodruff includes in his history of the Restoration. Including Wilford Woodruff's documents as a primary source for family history research will allow the descendants of these individuals to better understand their role in Church history. To accomplish this incredible task the Wilford Woodruff Papers recruited volunteers from BYU-Idaho's Family History Research Certificate Program and hired seven interns pursuing undergraduate degrees in Family History from a variety of universities. We appreciate their skills and passion for the Project and we are excited to add their work to the resources available on FamilySearch.
