Someone just asked me if people on the FamilySearch Community are volunteering when they help others, or if there would be a request for payment after help was offered. FamilySearch Community is a free service offered by FamilySearch. The Community groups are made up of employees, missionaries, and volunteers.
We help because we care about others. The Family History Department Purpose and Quality Standards are:
We create inspiring experiences that bring joy to all people as they discover, gather, and connect their family -- past, present, and future.
You should never be asked for payment for services from anyone that helps in the Community. Some important clauses from the Community Code of Conduct specifically states:
Selling or promotion:
You may not sue this site or information found at this site (including the names and addresses of those who have submitted information) to sell or promote products or services, to solicit clients, or for any other commercial purpose.
Professional genealogists: Professional genealogists may use this site to research information for a client's personal, noncommercial use. however, professional genealogists may not solicit or arrange business, promote themselves, or receive payments here.

I attended a special training this week and someone took this photo of me. I guess I can introduce myself here. Hi! I am Carolyn Webber, the Community Manager for FamilySearch. One of my favorite activities as a genealogist is teaching others how to find family with their DNA. Sometimes finding unknown family members is a difficult process. Not everyone is lucky enough to find instant answers in their DNA, but many people find close matches that provide details for how to find your birth family. I love helping others make these discoveries.
I love being a part of this group of volunteers that work together to help others find their family.

Awesome info @Carolyn Webber ! You are the best! I get asked all the time by people “how much does it cost” no one wants to believe me when I say it’s absolute free ... the community and FS .... I guess with all the paid sites that use word “free” in many misleading ways has kinda jaded people from believing they won’t be asked to pay for something. I love this site it’s my absolute favorite !!!
