I have researched my family tree carefully, using only information I could verify the source for. I joined familysearch just out of interest, and to see if I had missed any connections. I have found it to be riddled with errors and incorrect information added with no source. Children I know died in infancy have spouses, random children are added born to women in their late 50s, people are linked to 2 sets of parents... at least in my family line it is a hopeless mess.

They write lies about surnames and names and spread misinformation on them. They refuse to amend the misinformation.

FamilySearch is free! It is very hard to find a quality service that you don't have to pay a lot of money for. I have been very pleased and impressed with the genealogical research tools that FamilySearch provides. I have been able to find deceased family members because of records. I've been able to add memories to my family members. I highly recommend using FamilySearch as a great tool to document your family history.

I downloaded this app to find out my DNA roots, as suggested in a video. After completing the registration and analysis process, the app asks me to pay to access the results. This is just a way to make money and does not provide anything free as promised. I definitely do not recommend it!

Many lineage paths went to Royalty all over Europe and beyond. One path took me to Adam and Eve and God. Adam ben Elohim 4004BC-3074BC ID: KG97-59V , Eve bat Elohim 4004BC-3311BC ID: LR35-F8Z. Longevity runs in my family as Adam lived to 930 years old. Eve only made to 693. On this site, God is listed as Deceased, ID: P3VG-GDH. I arrived there from my name, but then the computer could not remember how I got there. Seems a family member also buried Jesus. Joseph of Arrimathea 0041BC-0045 ID: LVSL-8YF. omg?!

I have had an account with Family Search for over 15 years, through this time I have had to contact them to find out how to change what has been changed. Then go and re-enter all information. This time I decided to try to connect with the people who kept changing it. I was written up for it. I was trying to communicate! So in the email I got I asked them how to erase or delete my part of the tree. What happened? They were so good before all of this! All I want is my information off. We will see what happens. I would hate to get a lawyer involved. But who knows.

Awful, I am a professional genealogist and have used FamilySearch as a side tool for around 7 years, It is a hotbed of fantasists and you will always be outnumbered by the ignorant, if you try and reach out and explain why any such person is incorrect you will be banned, presumedly because many of them are Mormons albeit clearly dumb and fantastical ones desperately trying to grasp at any hint of the old world. The trouble is that I added my family back to the 11th century, 7 years of research, and they have locked and are now baptising my family back to the Domesday Book. There are nonsense branches made by delusional Americans that never existed but they still baptise them, non existent people. This is not a place for anybody investigating the truth, if you enjoy copying and pasting off Geni or WikiTree 10 hours a day this is the perfect place, make yourself at home. If LDS is your cult I would find another, they baptise anybody even people that never existed. In 20 years when P David Gardner and Kirk Goddard Larsson are gone it may be a better place, but until people like this are gone this place will always be a mess, both almost certainly LDS people. They copy and paste errors for several hours a day without any independent research, they literally just spend hours a day copying and pasting the errors of others. It is impossible to work here in such circumstances. They probably sleep well at night thinking they have done the world a favour but everyday they make it more of a mess for any layman looking to find their true heritage. There is no beating ignorance, insanity will come long before any success.

Not user friendly, contains false information they refuse to fix, harasses you if you don't subscribe to their beliefs, and deletes true information if it's not what they want there. Total scam probably just so they can try to get your family into their cult.
