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.

Apparently I I can tracy my genealogy back to 300 before christ HAHHAHAHA. Apparently I can tracy my genealogy back to 300 before christ - How can I believe that information is even real? I can't stop laughing. And reading the other comments from users saying they found to be related to Jesus and Mary hahahaha.

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.

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

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.
