Overall a good site Overall a good site. One problem I do have is on occasion it will list TWO sets of parents. One listed as "preferred". Looking for FACTS not multiple "possible" parents listed. Lot of dead ends I was hoping to clear up. No more information than every other ancestry site. Made the mistake of starting a family tree on family search. Tree went under my father, not me. I am listed individualy, no link to family. Look up how to delete person, "from the drop down menu...". THERE IS NO DROP DOWN MENU ON THE PERSON PAGE. How do I merge? "From the drop down menu...". MULTIPLE PEOPLE have left feedback on the site about problems with or deleting tree, CAN'T DELETE. CAN'T make changes. Like I said, overall lot of good information. Many times sources are listed, which is WHY I like the site better than most. But FAR from perfect!

Lied About My Family Tree I used to like the site until they turned into liars and frauds. They sent an email to me on March 13, 2023 stating i was related to George Washington. The instruction was to click again to see how. It then said I was an eighth cousin once removed and provided my family tree as supporting evidence. I told my grandkids, who were naturally excited and wanted to tell their friends, but their mom suggesting holding off until further verification. I could not find any and a few days letter, followed up with Family Search and was told I was not related to George Washington at all. They had faked the name of an ancestor on the family tree it turns out. What was gained by them for such blatant lying, I have no idea. I will never trust them again for anything.

Family Search for couple of years now I have been using Family Search for a couple of years and love it. The site is well organized and easy to navigated. Visually this site makes sense to me. They are prompt in answering written questions. And either connect or let the user connect to information to build family trees. They also provide some of the best tutorials and supporting genealogy information!

I started using family search c.2006… I started using family search c.2006 and always found what I was searching for. But in the last few years some changes must have been made to it because finding what I have typed into the search boxes has become an infuriating task. I put in the terms, e.g William Cato - but get William Edward Cato or Frederick Cato....anyone but the person I'm looking for and always outside or inside of the date I've specified. It's a really frustrating experience now whereas before it was simple and I always found what and who I was looking for. Which ever techs ruined this site should be fired. And, to the 7th day adventists PLEASE put this site back to what it used to be - Wonderful, Helpful, simple to use.

FamilySearch to search many records... FamilySearch allows me to search a number of historical records and every week they add many new records. One other good tool is their hints email which automatically send me names of people who I may be related to and are not connected to my tree.
