I am a stake THF Consultant. I am working with a member with direct ancestors from Turkey and Egypt. Wondering if anyone can help with research suggestions as there seems to be little listed under Groups. Thank you in advance

    Hello @Richard Fordham 1

    Thank you for your question about Egypt and Turkey.

    One suggestion is to go to the Wiki in FamilySearch, click on the map, choose one of these countries and look to see what is available.

    I did this with Turkey and found a few good sources of information including online community of other researchers. Here is the link to that page. There is a similar one for Egypt.

    Best of success in your research.

    Hello Richard,

    In addition to MDR MT's suggestion and URL about Turkey, we found a similar one about Egypt, with a note saying other genealogical sites can be accessed at Family History Centers or the Famiily History Library. View the link: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Egypt_Online_Genealogy_Records

    These are good starting places.

    Good luck in your research.

    The wiki is the bomb!

    You can also search for the Family History Library's 20-minute and free consultations for guests. The sign-up is right on the wiki page.

    She also might consider contacting a FHL specialist. When you click on their names, their email and phone number are given.
