I need Help to set Up account for my children

NidaFL

Can I use the same email address for both of my children as I use? They are both under 11 years old, and I don;t necessarily want them to have their own email.

Thank you. Good question. Yes, your child can use your email. When you create the child's account you will determine which of 3 ways to confirm the Account registration. Here are the directions for completing the account information for your child. The URL is the Help Feature full directions for establishing a child's account

1. The next screen asks for the Parental Consent Code that was sent to the parent or guardian’s email. Enter the code, and click Submit.
2. Enter a text number or email address for Account Recovery, in case your child forgets his or her sign-in information.
3. If you chose a text number, enter the code that was sent to the phone, and click Submit.
4. If you chose email, open the email, and click Complete Registration.
5. Sign in to the FamilySearch account to complete registration.

I found this in the Help Center on the Home page. This URL contains the full directions for establishing a child's account.
