How can FamilySearch Get it So Wrong? 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!

The new website is totally unusable The new website is totally unusable. I couldn't edit a person record to change the date from 1936 to 1836. That fix would have eliminated the web-generated complaint that the mother's birth was after the child (someone put the date in wrong -- should we be eternally punished for it?) I can't even register for the community board because it doesn't accept my username and says "Verified, is not an integer." I won't use this tool for my family tree. I'll stick with Ancestry. Their website doesn't suck.

Incredible app 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.😄

I was drawn to FamilySearch as it's…free and seemed easy to use. I was drawn to FamilySearch as it's free, and my husband was already paying a subscription for MyHeritage. I trusted it until it took me way back BC and to Adam and Eve, via plenty of royalty. Now I don't have any faith in it (well maybe for a few hundred years back) and I wonder if their whole point is to convert the world to Creationism.

Lied About My Family Tree I used to like the site until they turned into liars and frauds. They sent an email to me on March 13, 2023 stating i was related to George Washington. The instruction was to click again to see how. It then said I was an eighth cousin once removed and provided my family tree as supporting evidence. I told my grandkids, who were naturally excited and wanted to tell their friends, but their mom suggesting holding off until further verification. I could not find any and a few days letter, followed up with Family Search and was told I was not related to George Washington at all. They had faked the name of an ancestor on the family tree it turns out. What was gained by them for such blatant lying, I have no idea. I will never trust them again for anything.
