    I have not used Family Search for a few months and find, today, that the site has COMPLETELY changed. What is all the 'community' stuff? I just want to search.....which is in the title of your site......the records you hold but I now have no idea how to go about it. Can you help me please to just do what I always used to do. I do not need to 'interact' with anyone to find what I need. Thank you, Sally Neish

    @s Neish, I think you may be mistaking this Community section/area for the main FS site, because while there have been a few changes since early this year, they haven't been that drastic.

    The Community forum and the main site are connected but separate things. You can recognize the difference a few ways: here, the URL starts with "community", and the top menu has Community Home, FamilySearch Help, Suggest an Idea, and Groups.

    On the main site, the URL starts with "www" (unless your browser helpfully hides that from you), and the top menu has Family Tree, Search, Memories, Get Involved, and Activities.

    You can get to the main site from here by clicking the logo-and-name at the top left. It'll open in a new tab, where you can use the Search menu exactly the same way as you did the last time you were here.
