FamilySearch has provided a great user experience, and I’ve found it full of helpful resources for tracing my roots.

Sorry, mein Stammbaum den ich angelegt habe bis ins 18 Jahrhundert mit einen Orginalbild sind verschwunden!

Targeted for being a PAGAN/WICCAN Family Search allowed a user to deliberately sabotage and target my family tree and delete images and documents and harass my emails after asking them to stop they continued to deliberately target my family. I spent 15 years gathering information and contributed a lot of files to family search along with Scotlands people over the years to give people the information they needed. This is a spiritual attack from a christian stalker who thinks it’s acceptable to do as they please and ruin entries on family search by keep deleting files and the truth. This doesn’t just effect me this effects thousands of others who are linked. Shame on you familysearch for allowing these attacks on your site to continue.

It is full of incorrect information. The information is more like a fiction novel that the truth. Needs to be corrected.

I have worked in FS for 5 years and LOVED it- Now that they have combined all data from everyone's trees, my work is absolutely worthless- This has been HEARTBREAKING. I read somewhere that "everyone makes mistakes , and to "politely explain to the other person their error." this would be nice if it was a single new mistake.. But now I have 20 other people's info, full of errors- some have posted names of LIVING persons... attached totally incorrect sources with comparing dates, geography etc, It is NOT one person- It is 10s of people being sloppy in their work.. and I am not, have not been a perfectionist BECAUSE it was MY tree and I can continue to add sources when I find them, and fix my own mistake.. Once again, I am HEARTBROKEN

You'll get a great service for free. Of course there can be mistakes because everyone can contribute information, but you have to be thorough in your genealogy research. It is a great advantage that it is free. That way you are assured that you can always access your own information.

Used to LOVE this site. A lot of great info. Somehow, all of my ancestors are being corrupted. "This person was merged." Go to the merge page. NO INFO!!! No parents, no spouse, no children, no records - THE PAGE IS BLANK!!!!! More and more of my ancestors, ones I have verifiable records for, some of those records I got on FamilySearch, now all being DELETED from the site. One man got unlinked from his father. Records linking his father were erased. Father still on the site, but all records pertaining to his son have been deleted. Multiple records from ancestry.com show his parents match, all of the siblings match, their records show he was sibling, town matches... SAME PEOPLE, but for some reason Familysearch deleted that relationship and ALL records showing it. Ancestry cites records. wikitree cites records, FamilySearch did as well but they deleted them all. (I am talking specifically about the people whose records were deleted on FamilySearch) I have that relationship, including DOCUMENTATION, in my family tree, but others looking for his ancestors will be denied that information because FamilySearch deleted it. So much for a collaborative effort. Only takes ONE person a few minutes to DESTROY what others have been working on for YEARS.

Awful. Basically a scam so they can baptize your deceased relatives by proxy irregardless of whether they were even Christian. If you add anything they won’t let you delete. Deplorable, unethical and frankly unchristian behavior. Beware.
