I currently have an online tree on Ancestry.ca with over 3000 members but I have been thinking of changing my research to Family Search. Just wondering if it is worth it.

    Most of those 3000 people are already in FamilySearch - you simply need to connect a few links from you back to your most recent deceased ancestors.

     

    do some searching and you will find most of your people are already here.

    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/name

     

    This is a collaborative single database of billions of records. People dont have private family trees like in Ancestry.
