Constantly have to go back and correct your tree because people who don't know how to research or don't even bother to do any sort of research not even bothering to match dates, name, family, ect. Continuously merging or deleting people and everything else makes a mess out of your tree. You can't lock it and can't do anything about it except for correct it every time don't waste your time and energy.

it used to be good. Now, when l ask about my family, they give me different names from other countries and no the country that l requested. It is a mess.

Zum Test habe ich mich selber genommen, 1967 geboren, bin aber vor über 100 Jahren gestorben.... Bei einem Namen der so oft vorkommt wie Peter Meier mal gerade 3 Ergebnisse bei den Namen, alle anderen Namen waren nichtmal ähnlich....

Awful site, the search engine is useless, ask specific questions but give you everything except what you ask for. Waste of time

Please do NOT use this site. I went on here to search my grandmother who passed away in 2024 and they have my name misspelled, me listed as a man (I am a woman and have always been one by the way), and also have it listed that my husband is my grandmother's grandson. How in the world are people allowed to edit data about someone's family that isn't accurately verified? My advice, stay away from this site and try to find information from close family members who can set you on the right path.

Very poor idea. the fact that you put your family tree on there, thinking it is YOUR OWN family tree, then find out that anyone even remotely connected adds facts and people to it, with incorrect information quite often! I got quite frustrated at having to alter facts and even delete wrongly-added people. having to check and re-check that no-one has tampered with my carefully researched tree. I have stopped adding to it and have my own tree on the Reunion app. At least I know it's correct.

I have researched my family tree carefully, using only information I could verify the source for. I joined familysearch just out of interest, and to see if I had missed any connections. I have found it to be riddled with errors and incorrect information added with no source. Children I know died in infancy have spouses, random children are added born to women in their late 50s, people are linked to 2 sets of parents... at least in my family line it is a hopeless mess.

They write lies about surnames and names and spread misinformation on them. They refuse to amend the misinformation.
