    I totally agree. I've been using familysearch since 2000 and now it's a complete waste of time. It's clumsy to use, takes for ever just to go round in circles and get nowhere. For goodness sake put it back to the way it was.

    It looks like family search has done everything possible to prevent feedback on the changes that make things dysfunctional.

    One recent change disallows connecting a source to a person of a different sex. This is a problem as many, many, many indexed sources have the wrong sex. It is incredible that anyone would believe all potential sources are 100% accurate.

    Here is an example where the father was indexed as female, and the mother indexed as male. As a result, it is now impossible to link the sources to the right people.

    I own a software company and deal with users across the nation. Data entry problems need to have a way to make corrections.
