Hi I am giving a talk on Sunday and would like to know if anyone knows just what percentage of members are doing family history work. I have heard it is about 4%. Does anyone know? I wonder how many nonmembers research their families. If anyone can help thanks. Jean

Jean, Art Johnson said in a monthly missionary meeting regarding new FamilySearch that 3% of members were doing family history. Then when nFS came out in St Louis he said that 10% of that temple district were doing it. In our family history center, 85% of the patrons were not members of the church. Hope that helps.

Are there statistics for % of members that: 1. % Registered for nFS? 2. % that have used it after 3 months? 3. % that have used it after 12 months? Once the UT/ID area goes online - that should give an indication of member outside of Asia. That should give you an idea on the current % of members actively doing genealogy research.
