FamilySearch Basics class test

JanTropp

• I am teaching the Family History Basic Tutorials found at BYU, so consultants are able to help others with their familysearch tree. I would like to have a test or challenge to provide to classmates, at the end to see how they are going to do in helping others. Is there a working sample pedigree, that has problems in it, that I could use for practicing on with each person?
• Thanks,
• Jan Tropp

@JanTropp You might go to beta.familysearch.org where you can create a fake (sample) family tree to use that cannot mess any data up on the real Family Tree. The data on the beta site is scrubbed periodically and fresh data moved over from the production site, so you can construct whatever tree you want to use for testing or demonstrating stuff on beta. Be aware that the developers use the beta site to test new things, so sometimes you will see features a little differently than you see on the production site. But the basics will be the same. Hope that helps.

Here is a link to a help center article that explains ways to use the beta site:

Use Beta as a teaching site • FamilySearch

Feel free to use the beta version of FamilySearch.org as a sandbox or learning place. Experiment, learn, and teach with out changing real data.
