Create a Kanban task for a deep dive into Family Search. Evaluate it for Phase 0b of the background-check/people-search tool selection.
Completed May 31, 2026
Executive Summary
FamilySearch evaluation complete. Unanimous OMIT verdict from all 4 research tracks + synthesis.
📊 Key Findings
FamilySearch is a genealogy platform for deceased ancestors — zero overlap with Phase 0b's current-address/phone/employer needs. API exists but requires Solution Provider Program approval that explicitly rejects data-extraction apps. Composite score 3.69, effective Phase 0b relevance 1.47/10. Important: FamilySearch ≠ FamilyTreeNow (already in Phase 0b).
