FS is a total mess and not worth the effort The tree is a total mess and any advanced genealogist would know that. Why bothering spending time uploading or entering information when any Tom, Dick or Harry can change it at bey. No thanks. I'll keep my tree on my computer and in my family and not somewhere on the internet where buffoons like certain members of FS can mess it up. As for support several members on that site were reported for abuse towards others but what do FS do? Allow them to keep their membership. Best advice I can offer to others just starting with FS is to not add your information as it will probably be changed in a matter of days by the FS bullies. The records are good on the site but the tree itself is totally corrumpted.

I'm so incredibly grateful to Family Search I'm so incredibly grateful to Family Search. In one day, I learned more about my family history than in my entire life. I found the exact towns several of my great-grandparents were from. I also found that my great-grandparents lived in the same building I always hang out in, and that I always felt a magnetic attraction to! I even made an offer for an apartment in the building right nextdoor and was in love with it without even knowing that family lived anywhere near there. It was the best feeling to find this family synchronicity and to know it will be possible to visit the towns of my origins. Many thanks to Family Search for this magical gift!

Save yourself hours of frustration Save yourself hours of frustration ! I know this is a nonprofit free site but your time and your sanity are certainly worth considering before you fumble around this site. Hours of work and poof gone with no clue as what caused it.

Incredible app This site/app is amazing! Everything, and I mean everything is free! I love the Family History Activities because they will show you which famous people you are related to. I myself am *very* distantly related to one of the US presidents. The only downs are anybody can edit your tree and they could add someone that you are definitely not related to. However, this is the best free genealogy app that I have found. If you are questioning getting it, question no more! This is the best.😄

The new website is totally unusable The new website is totally unusable. I couldn't edit a person record to change the date from 1936 to 1836. That fix would have eliminated the web-generated complaint that the mother's birth was after the child (someone put the date in wrong -- should we be eternally punished for it?) I can't even register for the community board because it doesn't accept my username and says "Verified, is not an integer." I won't use this tool for my family tree. I'll stick with Ancestry. Their website doesn't suck.
