LIST of different key sections of FamilySearch
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.
