FamilySearch Anmeldelser 

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.

Me ha ayudado muchísimo a encontrar registros de ancestros y familiares y completar mi árbol genealógico. Como pega, los registros a veces los lee una máquina (y no demasiado bien) y por eso aparecen nombres erróneos. Últimamente no me deja ver las imágenes de los archivos, no sé si me estoy perdiendo algo.

Found it very helpful ,as a first time user

It couldn't find me apparently. I put exact information in and it brought up absolutely nothing on my existence so I would strongly question its validity.

Anyone can add or subtract any information whether it is accurate or not. Incorrect information is difficult to correct. There are many mistakes in relationships in my family information. Some children are assigned to the wrong parents when father and son have the same name and step children are listed as biological children. One branch of my family tree traces to the 1300's, but if my immediate family has mistakes how can distant past history be trusted?

I like the amount of information. I don't like that anyone can comment on any post with derogatory, fabricated information and when an immediate family member requests the comment be removed it is not. Your only resort is to comment back and are forced to participate in a "he said, she said," childish back and forth instead of the site responsibly deleting the first comment.

Poor website, draws you in with promise of being able to use for free but wont let you do anything without providing a ton of personal info

I would take anything of Family Search with a big pinch of salt,

Family search sieht für mich nicht fertig programmiert aus da immer irgendwelche Fehler auftauchen oder sachen sehr lange laden.
Die app ist gut um Stammbäume aufzuschreiben aber nicht um nach weiteren Verwandten oder Vorfahren zu suchen da die Forschungsfunktion sehr unübersichtlich und nicht gut umgesetzt ist.
Gut finde ich das family search kostenlos ist!

I have tried many to login in my account because I had a new information on one of my family members but they won't let me into my account,also they got my family's info wrong.i do not want to refer anybody to this website.i don't like this website. It was good until up to a point that they lock me out of my own account

Your details on my family are compleat wrong!! My grandad was born in ENGLAND. and so were all my family!!

The software used by this company is inferior as well as their customer service. Some time ago I discovered that my parents had photos of my wife and I attached to their profile. There was no way I could correct it so I contacted customer service and they assured me they corrected the problem. Yesterday I go on there and discover the photo they used was just moved and that our wedding photo is still tagged as my parents. And to top it off, I do not even know the person doing the tagging. I am sure there are gobs of other mistakes on there as well. I am done with this company. Any moron can go on there and put anything they want. Beware!

I visited the family centre in Uk a few days ago ,
Whilst there I chatted to a member of the staff he mentioned his wife was related to Elvis Presley I jokingly said I’d love to have him in my tree.
Days later I’ve checked my famous relatives and would you believe it !
Elvis is now in my list of famous relatives as well as every us president. They are not trustworthy or serious about your genealogy ,I too have traced my line back to Adam & Eve which I now know is not possible , as a serious genealogist wrote that in 35 years he had NEVER come across anyone who could trace there line bak to the beginning .
I now have to go over my tree and erase all info gathered from this site. Waste of my time , please everyone stay away from this site .
