America250 is the nationwide celebration and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Every family has contributed to the American story in its own way. Join FamilySearch and America250 in discovering, remembering, and sharing the stories that connect us all, because your story is Our American Story.
As a part of this initiative FamilySearch invites you to 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.
Join the 250 Challenge by contributing:
- 2 family names
- 5 life event dates (birth, marriage, death)
- 10 memories, photos, or stories
Every contribution helps preserve the stories of the people and moments that shaped our nation, shaped you and your family.
