How can FamilySearch just alter my family tree with spurious entries through sloppy research? Some of their additions are just plain wrong which doesn't exactly fill one with confidence!

Terrible app. Cannot search images. Have to put up with graveyard ghouls who r no relation that want 2 change your family tree.

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 best thing about familyseach is its shared tree and the worse thing its shared. tree! This means you get all the help of fellow tree builders. The later is more frequently helpful but you are at the mercy of their edits on the shared tree, the good, bad and dam right ugly! The bad reviews here are complaints of sharing and therefore losing ownership of your tree and its associated data. My experience of above is predominately positive and considering its free that is is not bad at all. Please note the shared tree is backed up by the biggest online set of online database. Usually most people part of the shared tree starts as family knowledge and then matures as firmer data by attaching online documents to back up the family knowledge to verified data. This works very well until the mid 1500s where these online documents such as birth, christening , marriage , death and burial documents finish and then the data becomes more speculative in terms of history books etc etc The app could be considerably improved by aiding this process is instead of expecting the user to fit the app! I have made a suggestion that each person background colour should be coded in the rainbow colours indicating how many of the vital key data points are back up with attached documents. Then other users would know not to edit {or only edit very carefully} those who have documents backing them up already.

Listen up people there needs to be a class action lawsuit against familysearch.org when I complained about them through consumer people because I tried to call them to get help and they didn't help me they sent their dogs after me in a letter form they're stupid attorneys that's what they did to the consumer that is profiling and discrimination something needs to be done big time do not trust them

Family Search consente la gestione di alberi genealogici. Anzi l'idea di fondo è quella di creare un grande albero genealogico condiviso. Una delle migliori funzionalità è quella di poter allegare le fonti. Molte fonti sono anche reperibili sul sito stesso. Vedere il catalogo delle fonti per località.

In Aug. of 2014, it appears that Family Search created duplicate records for all living people, from what it looks like. I found this out recently when two of my sisters died. They both had duplicate records. I started to notice that the record that I log into was not the record that my wife was connected to. And the record that she logs into is not the record that I am connected to. I started researching and noticed that in August of 2014 duplicate records were created by the family search system for many of my then living relatives and at that point everything is greatly messed up. However, because we are living individuals, Family Search will not correct anything. For one, they won't make changes for living individuals. And for two, the record that they created is not tied into the account that I log in with, so, therefore, I cannot change it. Their support has been no help at all and it appears that we won't be able to merge the records until I die.

FamilySearch is a collaborative Family tree site, one big tree, unlike other sites where you can create your own family tree, and can then collaborate with others with zero DRAMA. PROBLEM on FamilySearch: I've run into 3 really nasty wannabe Queens of Genealogy, one's sent me 7 direct messages, and has written nasty stuff all over my grandmother's page about how she's a master genealogist, former Grand-poo-bah in Family History in her last town, her relative is a programmer at FamilySearch, on & on. I cannot BLOCK this person from spamming me or my relatives' pages. The other Hilarity, is this site is not backed by DNA testing, so these folks are willing to die on their petty molehill without scientific evidence.
