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.

I thought this was a great website that… I thought this was a great website that led me to ancestors I never knew about until....... I followed several lines of my supposed ancestors including Kings and Queens of England, France and Spain and countless other royalty all the way back to Julius Caesar. It became suspect at the very least. The complete deal breaker was the line that showed I was descended from the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. This is a disgustingly dishonest ripoff. I feel ashamed to even give it one star.

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 am a member of The Church of Jesus… I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Even if I wasn't, I would still be interested in using FamilySearch. It truly is the best (I mainly use FamilySearch and supplement with other services such as Ancestry, etc.). The layout is quite simple, the graphics are nice, there is a lot to do to further the work of the Lord in connecting families, among other religious practices within the Church.

Best Free Online service you can use As a 10 plus year member there is no better free genealogy research site out there. You can also be a part of their online indexing service. I have found a few family members in my few years of indexing. because there are so many people helping with the indexing familysearch.org remains free to all and in some cases there are source papers added to the family members. There is an old saying "Try it you'll like it". Have fun researching
