What is the purpose of FamilySearch and Family Tree?
We hope this is the answer you are looking for:
The overall purpose of Family Tree is to help you discover your family and, in turn, discover a bit about yourself.
- Family Tree is a little different from other similar sites in that it is a single tree linked together in families, rather than a site that allows users to create and manage their own private trees. This difference means that everyone works together on the same data, allowing for the potential to connect every member of the human family.
- Family Tree compares records and sources in order to help you resolve mistakes or duplication in records. It also provides messaging and collaboration tools, as well as free expert phone support, to help you resolve errors.
- Family Tree draws from FamilySearch's enormous database to provide record hints. This makes it easier to link you and your ancestors to earlier generations.
- The Memories section can help foster deeper connections to ancestors. It provides a place where you can preserve and share photos and histories.
- We want Family Tree to be accessible to as many people as possible. You can view it through a variety of means, including on mobile devices, with the Family Tree and Memories apps, or in areas with low bandwidth, with the Family Tree Lite website.
It is our hope that, through Family Tree, we can work together to create the best-sourced, public genealogical family tree in the world and allow family members to connect both in the past as well as the present.

that brings up a good point
in the old commmunity - you could ask a question as well as SHARE information on the same group
I dont particularly like the fact that this Q/A section seems to bias itself to only asking questyion and getting answers - when pro-actively sharing good info (answers to oft asked questions) - is just as valuable
I realize there are other GROUP areas (outisde of Q/A) - where sharing info lends itself much better
but even in the Q/A sections - I really wish it was more condusive to proactively sharing good information.
Yes - I posted it as a question - because in that entire section of community - that is the only choice I had . . . I wish it wasnt.
