FamilySearchReviews of familysearch.org

The tree is a total mess and any advanced genealogist would know that. Why bothering spending time uploading or entering information when any Tom, Dick or Harry can change it at bey. No thanks. I'll keep my tree on my computer and in my family and not somewhere on the internet where buffoons like certain members of FS can mess it up. As for support several members on that site were reported for abuse towards others but what do FS do? Allow them to keep their membership. Best advice I can offer to others just starting with FS is to not add your information as it will probably be changed in a matter of days by the FS bullies. The records are good on the site but the tree itself is totally corrumpted.

FamilySearch.org does not respect the privacy of living persons, nor does it care about the accuracy of its data. Someone started posting false information about close, living family members of mine, including labeling them as "deceased" when they are not. Legitimate genealogy websites will exclude some data about living persons. The FamilySearch.org website did not allow me to correct the info in any way, despite numerous attempts on my part, and writing to the person who published the misinformation did not solve the problem either. I reported the misinformation to FamilySearch.org and told them to correct the misinformation as it is false and a potential violation of privacy, and they refused. They would prefer to let complete lies that a stranger posted, for no reason, about my family stand. I did a quick search, and apparently FamilySearch.org has a record of privacy violations: (link censored) FamilySearch.org is disgraceful for willfully perpetuating falsehoods about living persons. This reflects poorly on the integrity of the Church of Latter Day Saints, owner of the site.

YOU CANNOT DELETE YOUR COMPLETE INFORMATION. DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. YOU CAN ONLY DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!!!!! I emailed them and they gave me the same BS view of their terms of blah blah blah. I wanted to look for my family history and then it occurred to me my parents moved away because other family were.... abusive. So, I changed my mind and "deleted" most information a week later. The info is not DELETED. It shows that I've made changes and who I made changes to. Not very "church" like if you ask me. They say its private information and no one can access it but me. If that was true, the site wound be endorsed by Facebook for its data security and we all know Facebook just had phone numbers stolen to be sold. This site is ran by people with rose colored glasses. I want my information I entered permanently deleted with the account. PERIOD. STAY AWAY FROM THE WEBSITE AND ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. FamilySearch, spare me your reply. Keep it where the sun don't shine.

I am a former member of latter days saints church. I still use family search. But since I have quitte my church membership very often my family tree was erased. It happens now about 5 times or more.. I don't know if they want to tease me because I'm a former church member or that it is an error in the program. But it makes me sick.. Who has also this expérience.?
