FamilySearch is celebrating its 125th birthday!
Information from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter:
The Genealogical Society of Utah was established on November 13, 1894, under the direction of Wilford Woodruff, the 4th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Franklin D. Richards was appointed as the society’s first president. The purpose of the society was to help its members (who were predominantly immigrants from Europe) to gather genealogical records from their homelands so they could remember and build their ancestral connections.
FamilySearch, aka Genealogical Society of Utah, has been dedicated to helping individuals discover their ancestral roots for 125 years.
