I was drawn to FamilySearch as it's…free and seemed easy to use. I was drawn to FamilySearch as it's free, and my husband was already paying a subscription for MyHeritage. I trusted it until it took me way back BC and to Adam and Eve, via plenty of royalty. Now I don't have any faith in it (well maybe for a few hundred years back) and I wonder if their whole point is to convert the world to Creationism.

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.

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.😄

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
