1. 5/5Relationship

   Is there any way that you can make it possible to Copy the relationship on anyone you find that is related . In relationship can you make the font larger so you can read the relation to me up top it would make it easier on the iPhone! Why is it that my famous relatives are only posted for a short period of time?? Will AI be used soon on helping Researching one’s family and relatives with the latest in technology? Why is it you can only add so many researchers contacts to chat to?? When you find relatives records abroad why can’t they be read as you can with records from the States?? Why can you only see up to the 13th Great Grandparents?? What’s involved in taking your family history and genealogy and relatives and pictures and records and published in a hard back book and if you need so many what is the cost per book and do you put the book together as a completed products? Just curious some time in the future I would be interested in having so many published as heirlooms for my family?? Will you be able to colorize and repair old black and white pictures in the near future by familysearch?? Thank you for taking my questions in consideration in order to enhance familysearch asap!! Yours truly, Hugh Fawcett.

2. 2/5Don’t trust the trees

   FamilySearch is great for finding sources on your ancestors. Its the best thing about it outside of being free. I encourage you to use it for that purpose when compiling your family tree. Just don’t trust the family trees, which are a mix of fact and fiction. Anyone can edit trees- this includes both people who have the actual correct information as well as those that that don’t- and don’t know the difference. There are also those that have their heart set on being related or descended from someone and will deliberately fudge the tree to make it happen. Go back far enough and you’ll find you’re descended from myths (like King Arthur), people we know were childless (like Jesus Christ), and famous ancient writers like Sophocles and Homer. I had an ancestor who was living in England. Next thing I know their father is from Poland and his brother just happens to be the most famous Jewish Rabbi of Poland. There are parts of my tree that I have done tremendous amounts of research on, using baptismal, marriage, and death records and censuses of the area, making a solid case. Overnight the whole thing is upended by some guy in South America who is operating on hearsay. I don’t use the trees. I don’t trust them, save as suggestions as to where to look. But I use the sources and I compile my tree somewhere else.

3. 5/5Margaret Shirley San Souci

   I have been researching my family history for almost 20 years. In the beginning I was using Family Search and Your Folks; a French genealogy database. But the names are so different in French to English and for a time, I paid for Ancestry until it got too expensive, so I stopped doing research. It has been some years since I used Family Search. Now, I am excited about doing genealogy all over again. It is a new beginning for me now that I moved after my husband died of Covid 4 years ago. I find all sorts of new ways to research my legacy on Family Search that make researching so much better. Yes, I am not saying that there is nothing new to learn- there is, but it has been less than a day and I have already learned so much. The New Family Search is wonderful! It must have taken ages to complete the new platform for users. I am one person who says a huge Thank You shout out to all who contributed to making Family Search a "state-of-the-art" depository for all mankind. And as a retired person, it whittles the day away, I get so involved in learning new information about all who have gone before me. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see and experience your new changes! Margaret aka Meg S San Souci-Umphrey

4. 4/5Buggy

   Love it for what it does but it has a lot of bugs. Loading and tagging photos is a problem. One I loaded and it dropped it saying it had been loaded already but it wouldn’t show up so now the photo can’t be shown at all. It’s hard to track duplicates. When adding info it would be good to be able to visit profiles of each person then pop back to the hint without it closing out half finished. When suggesting a person, I need to see their family info and children because there are so many people with the same names. I’d like to be able to sort hints like deaths and marriages to do in order. Census records should be able to be listed in order. There isn’t an ability to add information to names and dates of birth coming from hints without manually going back to each profile repeatedly. I look at a census record with more information I would like to be able to enter it. I don’t like that it forces me to enter a sex of a person when I’m not sure when it isn’t stated and the person and their spouse have gender neutral names. Relationship types like adoptive, step, etc are not easy to add or adjust. Step siblings don’t show up like they should in family listings. Census and obits often have neices and grandchildren that can’t be added. If I know a sibling but not their parents I can’t add them. That is also frustrating. All that said, I love the collaborative work here. The more information we get on a person the clearer the pictures become. The personally submitted stories and tidbits about people’s lives is priceless in value. I understand I even have a local research center. How cool is that?

5. 5/5Improve! Improve! Improve!

   The app is great but it could be even better. There are few records of my family so I have to add everything myself. This is not a problem but there are a few problems that can improve the app. 1. I would really like to keep my family tree so no one can see it and I really want to have complete access to everything including changing the status of a deceased person to living. Well if it’s my family tree then I have the right to do whatever I want with it. 2. There are many information you can add to a person. This part includes many useless things but not the most useful thing, Cause of Death. I really wanted to add the cause of death of my ancestors but I was forced to add a note and then write the cause of death there. I would really appreciate it if you add this option to “Add Information”. You can also add an option to add diseases so we can tract genetic diseases through our ancestors. 3. Enable an option where you can add a sibling with an unknown parent. So for example, I know my 2nd great grandmother’s sister but not the name of my 3rd great grandfather or 3rd great grandmother so I’m unable to add any siblings to my 2nd great grandmother.

2. 4/5

   The website works great on my phone and laptop but the app refuses to let me log in with my church account or username. Brings me to the site login, I enter my credentials, ger redirected back to the app and nothing. I can give 5 stars for everything but this. I emailed support with no response as of yet. I will update.

   Family tree is FREE! While I've touched other pay for use family tree apps I see no advantage to their use. Where I live I can access a local FS hub locations which allows me to use these pay apps for free while there. FS I recommend to anyone who is just starting out, to get a taste of the experience. Id expect you will not need to use any other.

   I'm lost. How do I look anything up? I'm probably on the wrong site. Do you happen to have instructions for an older adult? Marty
