I can no longer see the priorly very convenient link to "Find" an ancestor - which included a search field to search for an i.d.number.

I know that, now, an i.d. # can be typed onto the FamilySearch URL, but I hope that I can figure out how to find the convenient Family Search i.d. # search field.

To search for people in the FamilySearch Family Tree, you need to be in the Family Tree menu of FamilySearch. Here you will see the Find option. https://www.familysearch.org/search/tree/id

You can search by ID or by the person's name.

How about adding a simple/findable link to the family tree? I don't see one.

Susie Carlson

TorcoClownes The findable link to the family tree is available after you've signed in. You'll find it in the top right of your screen right under your sign in name. It will say: 'Go to Detail Person Page'. This will take you to the family tree for this person.

A lot of these family histories go back to the 12th Century. How can you be sure they are accurate. Im looking at one now where the source is Wikipedia

https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/KeithSmith52 Family Search is only as good as the information we put into the tree. The only way to be certain the information is correct is to find vital records to substantiate your information. If you are looking at information other's have put into the tree, make sure there are vital records attached such as official birth, marriage and death records. So, if you suspect the information to be incorrect, or don't see any documents supporting the information, you will need to do your own research and find sources to substantiate your dates and information and possibly correct your tree, if needed.

Who has written the stories? There are two sources attached for death location and the story has it another state. How can the story be corrected?

Cheryl Gebhart

@Kathleen Reilly_3 We are looking into the death locations to correct them.

Estoy encantada de estar aquí y he descubierto muchos de mis antepasados por parte de mi madre que es Dominicana, pero los de mi abuelo que era Español, no los encuentro. Ojalá alguien me pueda ayudar?
