LIST of different key sections of FamilySearch

sometimes users of FamilySearch get "turned off" by the collaborative nature of the Family Tree - where users don't really have total control of the data and sometimes get frustrated with changes made by others. Such a frustration is totally understandable when such people don't realize the collaborative nature of Family Tree and in some cases would be better off using a standalone product.

BUT all so often I feel bad that such people so often "throw the baby out with the dish water" and just leave FamilySearch all together - when there are so many different valuable other components of FamilySearch that are so useful.

The depth and width and variety of FamilySearch resources is really incredible.

Here is just a list - in rather random order. You may wish to copy and paste it to a bookmark list or notepad item where you can access it often.

FamilySearch does provide a variety of family history assistance in addition to the opportunity to work in the FamilySearch Family Tree which is designed to acknowledge that we are really all related. Your links are valuable, and I personally hope others will find your message and feel free to click on the various links you have provided in their personal efforts to expand their genealogical process. Thank you for taking the time to gather these links and to post your message. 😉
