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.

I’ve been using Family Tree for many years, it’s the only system I’ve ever used, wouldn’t use any other. Especially loves the NOTES section where there’s enough room to write a book on someone, that’s appreciated. Now Family Tree is online where I can enter, correct or adjust data on my family. I descended from Stonington and Belfast, Maine. My father passed away at 33 years old, I was only 14 which is where I acquired my interest in my family. At 35, my daughter Jayme Lynn Nickerson was 7 years old when she was struck and died by a man driving his girlfriend’s uninsured pickup truck 39 years ago June 20, 1985 so Family Tree has put them and the rest of my family on the map for “Whom It May Concern” which is what I’ve titled my work after Daphne Aurora Tower, my grandmothers youngest sister who called her work the same, for the generations to come. My father is Lester Arnold Nickerson, my mother is Pauline Lillian FiField which is not her last named as she never really found out who her father was. Thank you Family Tree for BEING THERE.

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!!
