We know so much about our family now!. Family Search has made such a wonderful difference to our family. Before discovering it and learning about where we came from, we had no idea who we were! Now we know about the Cherokee in our family who fled to Wisconsin and created a village, we know about the Revolutionary War soldiers and the French-Indian War soldier and even a soldier in King Philip’s War. I even found ship records, letting me know when our Russians came to America and on which exact ship! The app works great; it is often being improved. My only Request: I like to leave tasks to other relatives as it’s fun to do, and also it takes much time to go through the tasks, so would like if I could also view the task list for my exact line (grandparents, not one mixed with siblings of grandparents).

Attempting to establish accurate Davidic lineage. I am personally attempting to establish an accurate lineage dating back to Jesus, or to establish my lineage back to the Royal line of David. The information my family has kept and the knowledge that we do definitely descend from European royalty for many generations up until circa 1450 on my grandmothers side, and the definitive knowledge of my descent from the St John family, as well as descending from Frank royalty leads me to believe that the possibility of establishing the lineage accurately and with confirmation using written accounts of royal and noble lineage of Europe; I am hoping to be able to establish a legitimate lineage using this app. Any genealogist who might be interested in helping would be greatly appreciated. My family has been well respected for many many generations dating back to the times when we shared the privilege of once being of royal descent. Also English royal family members were all known to have had webbed toes; which I also have. My mother said it’s a trait from when we were one English royalty. The signs point to legitimate descent! Shall we establish a legitimate lineage back to Jesus??!

The reason ‘apps’ exist is for this collaborative effort to connect everyone. All of my other apps are attempts at getting things done or finding distractions from getting things done - and this is the one thing that matters to ‘get done’: the linking of the whole human family in a way that helps us change from fear and worry to love and compassion when we understand our wholeness (and cast off the illusion of our separateness). The app is THE place to save preserve memories that matter. It is THE place to be social and share meaningful memories. It is THE place to ponder/meditate/pray/think/rest and prepare for all of the interactions we are meant to have IRL. So yeah, this app, without ads/subscriptions has levels without end (generations in all directions to explore) and consistent ‘newness’ and unique experiences. It is easy to participate (all other wikis are practice for this ultimate wiki), allows for changes/updates, and there are many levels of people willing to help you learn. Find what you are looking for, even if you don’t known what you are looking for, with the Family Tree App by FamilySearch.

Better with Time. I remember when Family Tree began many years ago. Decades ago I had to write to countless government departments all over the world in order to obtain records of may ancestors. It was expensive and seemingly took forever. Not many people did family history then. They didn’t have the patience. When Family Search began it was a Godsend. It wasn’t perfect, but it continually got better as kinks were worked out. Still today new advances and features are being introduced. My accomplishments through Family Search have kept my family even closer as with each visit there’s always lots of questions and discussions. Thanks to all that have been involved in creating Family Search and all the improvements.

Confusion. I have enjoyed FamilySearch for many years. However; after a second husband was added to my great grandmother’s biography, my own great grandfather’s information was cast into oblivion. Even though I choose my ancestor as the preferred spouse, the results I get when searching my family tree are for the second husband and have no relationship to my own history. Also, recently I have noticed numerous instances where a subject or his father is listed as his own spouse or child. Information that I entered, with documentation, has some times been altered by a non-related contributor. For instance, I know when my father died. I was there. Perhaps our freedom to edit biographies has gone too far and needs to be left to responsible professionals. FamilySearch has provided me and many others with countless pages of family history but, I can no longer trust that it is valid. What a shame.

Best App Ever! Changed My Life!. This app is so extraordinary and I absolutely love it! I spend almost an hour every single day on it and each day I’m able to add memories to my family members and discover ancestors I didn’t know I had as well as things about their lives! It has connected me to those who came before me in a whole new way I absolutely love it! It does lag a little bit especially if you spend a lot of time on the app and put on a lot of memories on certain people it will take a long time to load but that is to be expected I am absolutely blown away by the tools as well as the resources this app has! 10 out of 10 but I can only give a five!

Wonderfully Useful!. I love that it is searching for documents concerning my ancestors all the time and suggesting them. Then in those moments of free time when I may have previously spent minutes scanning Facebook or Instagram, I can now be attaching documents to my ancestors and search for other documents to better compile my family’s genealogy; our family history! Being able to see the memories and photographs that others have shared is great too! It’s allowed me to see photos of my grandmother as a youth, something I hadn’t seen before. There’s a new function under the settings menu called “Map My Ancestors” which creates a map of your ancestors’ life events. Who needs 23andMe or other DNA testing, right? Well, it’s not quite the same, but this is free!

My Ancesters. I appreciate all the work that is done in connection with Family Tree. I love my ancestors and all they did in their lives that brought me to the place I am today. I love that much work was done on my lines that gave me the knowledge and joy it brought me when I joined the Church at 17. I didn’t know that my Great Great Grandparentseri Stephen and Hannah Markham were early members joining in 1834 and 1836. Hannah and my Great Grandfather David Markham, 18 years old at the time in the early 1850’s, left Utah for Northern California to join Hannah and Stephen’s older son’s Warren (Catherine Ann Jones) and William Whiting, never married. David married Emeline Conrad and raised a family , including my Grandfather, David Andrew (Alice Parks). He became Chief of Police of Willows, CA. In 1940 he was shot and killed in the line of duty. My Father Edgar Hanford Markham Sr. Met and married my mother Elberta Charlotte Abel in Willows when my mother came there to work. My father was elected Mayor of Davis in his middle 60’s. After Hannah and David came to California the Church faded from their lives.

Like this app a lot, but it could be improved. Great for quickly viewing messages from other researchers without having to wait until I get home and boot up the full website. Also comes in handy for checking details when I’m at the library or courthouse with the hard copies and ancient micro-media (yup, we still need to use those from time to time, don’t we). One problem I have found is an inability to see a person’s children when the parent has had more than one spouse. Although clicking on one of the spouses will normally provide a list of the children by that spouse, in the case of a divorce where BOTH spouses have married again, the tree comes to a complete dead end because you can’t see any of the children of either spouse. It would also be nice to have the option to switch to a descendancy view from time to time, but I can live without that.

This app will improve your present and future.. This is one of the only apps I’ve ever used that I can say has improved the quality of my life. Not only that, but it will improve the quality of every generation going forward. Instead of wasting my time on social media etc… I spend some of my free time writing stories from my kids lives to put into their individual profile on this app… and recording memories and saving pictures as well from my life and my kids lives. I also am able to record memories of my parents and grandparents as well as read stories and memories and view pictures that others have posted… in order to help me to learn more about where I came from. Makes life a lot less lonely, and a lot more like a team effort where I know there are others pulling for me and rooting for my families success behind the scenes on the other side.

Wow. So I always thought that did not really have any family . My father was not around , so Recently I was curious if he had passed so I googled his name . His name was not anywhere but another name popped up . My dads brother . He had died one week earlier and I found an obituary with photo. From there an explosion of relatives..Incredible just incredible… According to this site/app I can trace my family to 5 members on the mayflower , and It shows that i have some extremely famous relatives (I won’t brag) lol…. And the very best thing is the photos . There is a pic of my great great great great grandmother and I thought it was a picture of my mother . Incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️My husband and brother think that this is a scam due to the famous relatives pages . I want to print up photos and stories , people ect and have it all together for future generations of my family . One day I’ll be the past and a I’ll be a 17th great grandmother or something. I love this app and site . Thank u so much

Use it every day. I enjoy this app every day, by adding photos and stories of my ancestors. If one thing could be fixed about this app, it would be to make it easier to make corrections or even delete false information added by others about my immediate family. Someone put information in that my father had died, years before he died, and while he was yet alive, and it attached to my family tree. I corrected with a note, called the help line, followed their instructions, but now there’s two entries for my father that continue to appear. The false one and the correct one. I know the app gives information how to correct it and merge, etc. but nonetheless, this incorrect records remains in my family tree data. I even kindly emailed the person (who I don’t know) who was responsible for the false information and they denied doing it, so there it is.

Marriage Certificates are Major Issue of bad connections. In the rush to move tech advances, you have a failed algorithm that makes suggestions for in laws based solely on first names. This epic failure of no rules and exceptions presents everything from deceased children to siblings as in laws. Furthermore, there’s no way to dismiss the suggestion, so one click combines them to multiple people causing improper marriages and children connections. I’m sure this was to avoid the duplicate record issue which is so prevalent in your system. But a correct duplicate is a far better issue than incorrect connections that people are accidentally making on your bugged suggested system. Major programming failure here.... how many thousands of incorrect connections are in your system now? For a people so”into” record keeping, this makes no sense. Tune or turn off suggestions on in laws, or create a dismiss option to clear the bad suggestions. One accidental click creates two connections that are dead wrong. It must really eff with your temple work eh?

Very useful!!. At first I was skeptical that this app would have any accurate information, but after using for a few months I have been able to track my tree all the way back to the 1500’s. Sometimes it takes typing a name a handful of different ways, or searching multiple dead relatives to find a lead. I had to really search for a well documented relative first, but once I found them it was amazing how much information there is on my family in this app. It is neat that family members who have more knowledge about your family history may be adding to your tree as you speak. It is also cool that you can add your own knowledge and make connections that you know about, most times to people who are already documented but may not have been physically connected to your tree yet. There are attached documents to many of the family members in the tree that show how they tie into the family. You can also add people that you know exist in your tree even if they are not documented in the app, and others who look up your tree will be able to see those added as well. It is honestly a brilliant networking app for tracing your family tree.

Their are Angel's in our Family. This app is incredible in that I can now do virtually everything from my I-phone. From digitizing documentation in my possession to share with others to searching for ancestors and records, merging duplications, attaching sources and documentation, photos, stories and other information. This app has allowed me to connect with family i didn't know existed. Most important, this app has allowed me the privilege of getting to know my family and ancestors and develop a deep connection and love for them as I learn of and share in their joys and and struggles in this life. Whenever I feel alone, sad or depressed I can just open my family search app and I can feel my family cheering for me and encouraging me to keep going and never give up.

The BEST most ACCURATE genealogical app!. This is the BEST most ACCURATE app I have found for my genealogical research. My husband & I are 8th cousins via European ( primarily Saxe-Cohberg- descendants of Leopold King of Belgians, father of Prince Albert younger brother of Queen Victoria ) Tudors, ;Henry 7th) Plantagenets, (Stewart ( 3rd Earl of Lennox) etc Our DNA tests & The information obtained via thus user friendly app match up perfectly, migration patterns Etc & The data base is the most comprehensive app available! If your serious about wanting to know you’re family history this is an essential tool & so much fun as a hobby! They have features like “view this “ & “relatives around you” and you can see also how connections are made around you with others & also famous people in history. For example I’m 4rth cousins with President George Washington☺️

Love Family Search but. Have enjoyed using the web version for years and have had very few problems. I now find the app for my IPhone very convenient; however, navigating from tree to records search and attaching source records has been challenging! I like saving the source indexes in my my own folders and then attaching them once I'm confident they are truly a match; however, very often I'm not able to find my way back to them. Also, after a historical record search it's easy to mistakenly use the upper left back arrow and often hard to find the "back to results" arrow that sometimes appears in the lower left of the screen of the opened record screen. So I end up having to do the search completely over. I will be calling for help this week and expect I receive the same patient and thoughtful assistance as I have many times in the past.

Our Relatives. I love the fan charts. My husband is a great great grandson of a LDS prophet Lorenzo Snow. It was fun to go back way, way back on that noble line! So far back- well— It is great to read the interesting things that were written about him and the occurrences happening around him. My ancestors - some of them, knew him and some of his, and they interacted with each other. I like to have the pictures of all of our ancestors as much as I can see. We will all be dead and gone one day and it will be interesting to know that we will be ( I need to put my information in) somewhat remembered too! I enjoyed the famous ones that I am related to, distantly. It’s interesting what the computer can do! However, God is no respecter of persons- we are all His children! Past, present and future! We are all important and have our time and place under the sun!

Has issues. I was enjoying this app, however as of recently my previous relationship with someone will show me where they are in my tree, Now it says we’re not even related!! I have been doing ALOT of research on my family’s history and taking screen shots of my “important” ancestors, I have been reluctantly taking notes, studying my background and now your app says I’m not related to anyone??!!!! I hope this is a bug from the last update, otherwise this is seriously a huge issue! I have sent a message to support without a response so hopefully they can explain what is going on! Now looking at my ancestors that I assumed (because of this site) we were related now it feels like a big lie! This is super irritating when you’re trying to find out where your lineages come from. Now I guess I’m back to the beginning (no answers) 😒

Needs improvement. I’ve been using this app for a while. I like it but it needs to improve certain features. It can be a little confused, you can add the info from the doc you found and add it to the tree, but you can not modify the basic info once you add the info from the doc. Sometimes you found multiple sources but most of them have different info (name) and cannot be modify. In order to see and modify the name you have to create manually the person and after that add the source. The tree doesn’t show the whole family, in order to see (my nephews) or my uncles I have to keep open the tree in that level, but I won’t be able to see the whole relationship. It cannot be download or print. I find kind of difficult to share with my family members to allow them to add info in the family tree. Also some doc cannot be modify but there is not an option to report or request the modification.

Family Found. This is an amazing way to learn about your ancestors and yourself. The first time I used the tree maker I was able to see my family history and find people that I never knew about. Pioneers,leaders, and other family members who were able to make a difference to the people around them. It has given me inspiration and pride for all the family that has gone before me. My husband and I are working together on our family history and he has shown me how to look for information. The tools provided by Family tree are easy to use and research is becoming easier. My dad did family history and back then it was a lot more difficult. He left me a treasure trove of information and family pictures that I have been blessed to have! They make it so much easier to connect with my family stories! It’s great to see the faces and see the pictures of their lives. The LDS is an excellent source for information. I have been so impressed how they have tried to keep records for future generations. Hopefully someday my grandchildren will be interested in the family history and work we have done with Family Search will be of benefit for them. I have gotten a lot of joy from learning about my family history and still have a long way to go. What an adventure it will be!

Love it but there are some flaws. The app works well and I love the updates. However, there is a big flaw in the system. I’ve started seeing names in my close family tree, families I’ve been researching closely and know well, reserved by distant relatives and then shared with the temple. By distant I mean go back 11-15 generations and then come down a different line, then go over to a spouse and go up the spouses family tree. There are people that distantly related somehow reserving names on my direct lines making it more difficult for me to do the work. There should be a simple way for me to go to the temple and ask to do those family names. The temple should be able to pull my family names from their “temple system”. I still think it odd that someone so distantly related is working on a branch they aren’t really related to but at least it wouldn’t hinder closer family members from doing their work. This even happened with a family member’s great grandfather and they haven’t been able to do his work yet.

I love this app but!. I love this app including the website,I had wrote a review not long ago,sometimes my reviews don’t pop up not sure why,or it just takes long to pop up on any app in Apple Store? Anyways it’s great for finding relations,I’ve been using other websites to connect the pieces,it might not be 100% I have even used Realtive Finder & it tells me the opposite,there was this Famous Person who said to be my 13th Cousin 1xtimes removed,while on here it saids they’re my 10th Cousin 1xRemoved,I’m wondering if that’s because the first one was made & deleted somehow or it’s a duplicate? I think they’re more likely to be my 10th Cousin 1xtimes removed on here then,your sister site,RealtiveFinder,I’m not sure & not sure how they got from that to this on the app & website. Other than that,I’m extremely unhappy that I cannot block someone from my family who is extremely bugging me to much,I want to say maybe because there’s bugs here & maybe on the website to but either way,it’s quite annoying & frustrating,I can’t handle being bugged often & assumed for just not contributing,I have my own problems & they’re not listening to a Word I’ve said so far!

Praising Family Search. Thanks to Family Search for the reminder about four ancestor’s initiatories that would expire soon. I am far away from home helping a single mother daughter with two young sons and unable to get to a temple. I called another daughter in my hometown yesterday to explain that the initiatories were printed out & in a folder on my computer desk at home. She picked them up, took them to the temple and completed the work the next day. She said both she and a sister performing the initiatory for one of our ancestors felt the person’s presence. My daughter said she since Beth Day and Simister had been waiting a long time where the ordinance. Right away Family Search sent me a message saying the work had been completed.

Fast & convenient!. I love FamilySearch’s mobile Family Tree app! I’m amazed at the frequency with which I refer to my Family Tree app. We have 16 grandchildren and quite often I need info regarding birthdays and anniversary dates. FamilyTree mobile app makes it so fast & convenient for me while I’m shopping to check dates and ages. Quite often in conversations with other family members we forget names & places of our ancestors’ stories and Family Tree helps us get it straight. It’s fun to look at our family history together and compare pictures of our children with those of our ancestors. Sharing stories from their lives always touches our hearts and brings those of us still here, closer together.

Great App. Could use a little refinement.. The app is a fantastic database for having to keep track of so many family records. There’s some minor things that would be great if they could be improved. - Ancestor pictures: Seems like you should be able to click/tap on their picture to see an enlarged picture, but instead when you tap on their picture it takes you to the option to edit or replace their picture. I don’t want to edit, I just want to see a bigger picture of what they looked like - Homeland discovery: I thought the homeland discovery feature was a little glitchy. It was a little difficult to pan and zoom around the map. I was using an iPhone 7 Plus. Maybe it’s smoother on other devices. This feature has a lot of potential innovation for future versions. It would be could to integrate it with google/apple maps virtual mode to see what the streets look/looked like. It would be cool to see virtually what their headstones look like. Just some thoughts.

Great app. I highly recommend this app. I have been using FamilySearch for a little over two years, and it's helped me trace my ancestry back over 2400 years. It is easy enough for a middle schooler to work- and I would know, being one! The best feature is the "find match", which allows you to enter the names and birth/death dates and places of deceased relatives and looks for names others have entered that look similar. This helps hugely if a distant relative has also been 'genealogizing' and puts their work on your screen. 80% of the time I've spent on FamilySearch Tree has been reading family history that distant relatives entered that I never knew I had! I experienced some issues when I tried to enter names of relatives in manually while in landscape mode, but after shifting it to Pedigree and entering them there everything worked fine. I love this app!

Not responsive and disconnects you from family tree. I thought this would be cool to look at and get more information. I have a lot of records from my grandmother. When I started connecting to family I discovered they have my father listed as deceased by a person I don’t even know. My father is very much alive. I sent a message to have it changed asking what they needed from me to show that and asking who said he was dead. I didn’t hear anything. About 2 weeks later I sent in another notes stilled didn’t hear anything. Last night I check and all of my family members above me in the tree have been removed. So I went back out to find my parents and it still has him listed as deceased and it won’t let me add either of my parents to my tree. Makes one wonder why that happened and how you can get things changed. This was after over a month.

Family Seach Activities. Family Search is interactive and interesting to find things that you never knew about your ancestors. It has kid friendly activities that everyone can enjoy like: Seeing on a map where your ancestors were born, if they moved somewhere that shows up too, also it shows where they died and where buried. Another activity is Relatives Around Me, you can scan for people. If they have family search and are scanning for friends around them at the same time. After it is done scanning, it will show you if anyone was also scanning for friends if anyone was and if they were within 100 feet you can see how you are related, which might be cool to see.

Review. I have enjoyed finding my ancestors and learning about them. It has been an amazing journey to learn about them. Then to find how well they are documented books written on them. The History they were part of . The life Sketches noted down . I feel I am the luckiest person to learn these things. Following both my Mother’s Stone Linage and my Fathers Applegate line has meant the world to me . I now have a better understanding of who they were and my pedigree . I am in awe! I can sit for hours on end doing these family tasks and learning their stories. I am a natural born analyst and worked as one for 23 years. So, doing this is perfect for me. I just love it !

Innovative App with Enduring Impact!. Family Search is revolutionary in terms of its extraordinary reach! The technology available to help users connect with family in meaningful ways is exemplary! I just completed temple work for my 3rd cousin [6] times removed. It represents the first time I was able to do work for my ancestors! Coming from a multigenerational LDS family, most of the temple work had been completed. I thought I would never know the feeling of taking my deceased ancestors to The House of the Lord! I now know that feeling and I have the innovators of Family Search to thank for it! Thank you for your persistent effort to connect families in deeply meaningful ways! You have my enduring gratitude!

Wow!. I learned so much about my ancestors! You can look up deceased people and see if you’re related! I found out many celebrities and idols are my tenth cousins! Lol so cool! I put my parents info and their trees were already there, I did add some photos and it’s really cool! Great tool! A lot of work went into this it’s quite amazing! There’s photos of great and great great grandparents and people I never really knew their names! It was interesting to learn a little more about their lives, where they lived etc.. I never knew my mothers fathers side or ever met him and I was able to learn more about his side. Some of my grandmothers side didn’t go to far back but some lines go way far back!!

Very convenient. I love the app. So much easier than in the old days of looking endlessly at microfiche or books at the country Courthouse, or even the first online stuff which was still searching the books only in the convenience of your home. Now it almost comes to you.(IF it is correct) you are relying on other people doing there work correctly, and many do not. I have found errors. So check out the information. Sometimes there are two families living a few blocks from each other (with the same name or similar names of mother and father- some families had the habit of giving all boys the same first name and different middle names or all got the same middle name. If they married girls with similar names.) that are getting put into one family. I have also had aunts and uncles of mine being listed as deceased on these records. When in the newspaper obituary they are listed as siblings of someone else that has passed away.

Love this app. I’m so thankful for this app and especially that it’s free! I love that they’ve shortened the time that you can reserve a name for temple work. That’s been super helpful when trying to get temple work done. Two things that would make family tree better are 1) if there were more steps/pauses to encourage people to first look up the deceased person they’re trying to add to the system, before they create them. I am constantly merging duplicates because people keep creating accounts that already exist. It’s extremely frustrating especially when all their temple work is already completed. And 2) if there were a way to connect the living to each other. I think it’d be super cool and useful if we were able to connect living family members to our tree and vice versa.

Concerns. I like family search especially the things that I can put on. The thing I do not Like are the people who do not even know close family members to me can go in and change The data I have entered from personal sources that are reliable. These are often people I have never heard of and I have no way to get a hold of them to tell them that their information is incorrect . If I find them I just block them so that they can’t see what I do however they still change the records. And when I have asked the family history Library about this they have told me that I just needed to be kind and patient. It is hard to be patient when you are the one who has kept family history for years to have a stranger go in and base their records on the census and scrap the whole family. Yet nothing seems to be able to be done to stop these trolls. Sorry I think you could protect those of us who do a better job and make them check closer records

Worst Genealogy App Ever. While Family Search has one of the finest selections of documents available they have destroyed the family tree function by mandating collaboration. Most beginner and hobbiest genealogists have no idea what an accurate source is. As a result they add incorrect people to the tree without accurate data. They add everything they see on the internet with no regard to sourcing of the data. Family Search ruined my Family Tree. I spend more time correcting other people making stupid changes to what had been MY tree and no time researching. I admit I have several lines with published bad data online from previous researchers, but most families do. I don’t want idiots taking that bad data and adding it to my tree. Don’t use this app unless you want some idiot ruining your tree too. By all means use the five star Family Search database. But if you use this app expect idiots to constantly ****-up your family tree.

So intuitive!. I love this app. I've found so many ancestors and have discovered so much personal information about their lives. I've come to know my ancestors through this app. I love how it sends me hints and newly discovered ancestors in my tree without asking. This app keeps me on my toes always reminding me and pulling me back into my family tree through emails and reminders! Temple ordinances are so simple to prepare now because you can simply bring your phone with the barcode from the app and the temple will print your cards when you arrive. I've developed a new love of family history because of this app and a feel the spirit of Elijah in my life daily because of what this app does! So grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ and the advancements it's making in the field of geneology! It's amazing. No app is perfect so hence four stars! But it's getting there!

Mary Ethel (Smith) Surtees. To darn many people writing and adding what they think are facts which are not. Like “Mary Ethel (Born Smith)” they said she died in Senior Bexar Texas.” My aunt Mary Ethel (Born Surtees) her daughter told my in 1983, that Her father came home from San Antonio (which is Agee miles north east of Senior) and told the family at home near Senior. Her brother Harold (the oldest at the time) ran from the house and went to his grand mother who lived the next farm south of the Surtees farm thru the fence to Smith road where she lived. Her cried hard, he wanted comforted from grand ma Smith. Where do these people get off making up these things. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1992 at which time I had a professor in genealogy whose name was Stevenson that had the bookstore right down off of the campus told us one day that he spent his Easter vacation redoing President George Washington’s temple work I don’t know how that could be possible but he said he found an air in his birth place it was a different county that had been done before. He should’ve known better but he just wanted to redo somebody famous a redo somebody’s temple work that’s already been done as far as I’m concerned they sit in the temple redoing peoples temple work because a day is wrong my place is not exactly the way they think it should be and they absolutely waste their time doing that when they could be doing it for people who need it done.

I love this app!. I have used this app to research my entire family and a number of friends. I have found birth and death records, copies of personal letters and wills, land deeds, land grants for military service, and, oh, the history I have learned. It’s fascinating to read about your ancestry and realize they actually fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Indian Wars, the Civil War (fighting on both sides of the war); even draft records for WWI AND WWII. Or, that your ancestors lived in Europe during the Black Death, when hundreds of thousand of people died. Or that some ancestors were members of the Order of the Knights of the Fellow-Poor Soldiers of Solomon, known as the Knights Templar! I have ancestors from Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark , Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, Egypt, Iran, Afghanistan, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Doesn’t that make you think! I have actually made contact with a number of people that actually shares my DNA; cousins 1, 2, 3, even 5 times removed. What a trip! I LOVE THIS APP!

Mrs. Shatarreca. I completed several ordinances at the Atlanta Temple Thursday March 2023. I started with the names I only needed one thing completed on. I then went to the names that needed several Ordinances done. I started with the Baptism and Confirmations, moved on to Initiatories and for all that’s not completed I still need to complete Endowments. I did pass it and completed Sealing to parents and or Spouses. In all I did several Ordinances for my maiden name ancestors. I started with a couple of names I had asked my mom for because she love genealogy and I have completed three that’s now listed. I have several more to come that I found on my own. It had my maiden name listed as well as my old address but they’re just not listed as completed as of yet. I asked my coordinator during my Initiatory should I have my names reprinted because I’d updated my name and address. She told me no, I was happy about that because I didn’t want the Temple to use more paper if they didn’t have to. I’m excited and humbled by doing what I did. I’m extremely grateful and thankful I had the opportunity to do what I did yesterday.

Great Way to learn about your Family. I’ve been researching family history a long time and have used the a Familysearch site for many years. The app continues to improve I can do nearly everything from the app that I can do from the site on a laptop or desktop computer and in today’s mobile device driven market that’s amazing. Family history often requires mobility to visit locations for information not found in the amazing vaults of Familysearch, bringing your research with you on a small portable device, and having the ability to add to my research, by uploading photos or documents I find and add them to my ancestors is fantastic and this app instantly allows me to share any and all finds with other interested people. Plus great features to entertain even the reluctant family history learner.

Improve! Improve! Improve!. The app is great but it could be even better. There are few records of my family so I have to add everything myself. This is not a problem but there are a few problems that can improve the app. 1. I would really like to keep my family tree so no one can see it and I really want to have complete access to everything including changing the status of a deceased person to living. Well if it’s my family tree then I have the right to do whatever I want with it. 2. There are many information you can add to a person. This part includes many useless things but not the most useful thing, Cause of Death. I really wanted to add the cause of death of my ancestors but I was forced to add a note and then write the cause of death there. I would really appreciate it if you add this option to “Add Information”. You can also add an option to add diseases so we can tract genetic diseases through our ancestors. 3. Enable an option where you can add a sibling with an unknown parent. So for example, I know my 2nd great grandmother’s sister but not the name of my 3rd great grandfather or 3rd great grandmother so I’m unable to add any siblings to my 2nd great grandmother.

Crazy how fast you can learn your ancestry. My parents and family spent decades doing genealogy, it used to take a lot more time and dedication. This app has helped bring genealogy into the 21st century and made learning personal ancestry an easily accessible, fun thing to do. We were never sure what became of one of my great-uncles (I thought he died young) and now I know everything, thanks to military service records and census records. I feel like it’s really honoring him that we’ve got his story straight. We’ve also been able to actually confirm stories our grandmother told us about life in their small town and we’ve been able to piece it all together, especially through historical phone books available online. I was always told that my greatgrandfather was a blacksmith so seeing his name and occupation in the phone book in the 1930s is incredible. I never even knew that existed. You can really just jump on in, whichever branch of the family needs work done, find out your history, get ready for temple work, attach suggested documents, it’s truly amazing. I’ve updated my review to five stars, my last review I gave three stars because the app kept crashing. That’s been fixed and I really appreciate it.

Holly R. Olmstead review of family Search. I started doing my family Geneology due to Covid. I got diagnosed with Castlemans disease and had to stay away from people, due to no immune disorder. My parents never talked about their family either. So these are my reasons I started this journey. I have never felt so proud of my family lineage like I do now!.. it makes me feel complete. I had relatives on the mayflower, several Presidents like George Washington links us to the royals , our blood line to President John Adams links us to the mayflower and many other historical events . I found my paternal grandmother was a American Native Indian and her real name from her tribe. I’m struggling with my mums side Idiaquez side , due to translations Spanish to English. I found my Aunt Anita’s son who was adopted into the Adams family and we are now talking on FB . I was told of him when my Aunt was diagnosed with cancer , so in away he was always with family. My journey will not be complete till I finish my mums side though which I know I will get their eventually.

Absolutely Amazing!. I really enjoy this app. It makes it easy and fun to find your ancestors or other family history. I enjoy ancestry in general but I go to ask my family members about things so I knew it was correct. You can collaborate with others on your family tree and even see your relationships to people up to 15 generations back! I do have some little things like I would love too see if I have an ancestor for both my parents. There have been multiple instances where I have seen the same person within the ancestry on either both sides of my great grandparents, grandparents, or parents. While it is distant it would still be cool to see how the common ancestry came about. Other than that I highly recommend this app!

Life changing app!!. This app is amazing! I have found stories and have learned things about my ancestors and relatives that help me relate to life's challenges a little bit better. When I read that one of my ancestors went through something hard, I felt like I could too. When I see pictures of my ancestors, I can see resemblances in my own family and helps me feel connected to something much bigger. It is exciting when you find a match and learn something about your family that you never knew. Hard things, inspiring things, sad things… all the things. I learn from them all!! Definitely recommend this app!

Helped track my history. I assumed that the task of finding my grandpa’s mother was going to be one of endless record finding and cross examination, due to only knowing that she was Portuguese and what her favorite thing to yell at other drivers during moments of frustration. I signed up with this website and downloaded the app and in a matter of a few hours, would have been faster but I believe there was a slight hiccup with the way they pulled up birth records, I not only found my great grandmother but also my great grandfather and their entire ancestral background! I can’t wait to go down the rabbit hole that is my family. Incredible site, incredible app, I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to see where they come from.

Impressive archive. I have been collecting family tree information since 1974 but for past 20 years had taken a break and the past month refocused on completing and publishing family tree. During my hiatus the Internet happened and Family Tree leverages the new technology. After 15 minutes on the site was astonished by how comprehensive, accurate and complete the archive was. In fact on one side of family went back one generation further than I had completed. I am excited and looking forward to posting pictures of family members generation back that have been entrusted to me by my grandparents and parents. This is the archive I want to invest time to update for future generations. I have a wealth of information to share, that includes pictures, stories and historical information for my ancestors. I have invested Hundreds of hours and many trips around the USA compiling, picture taking and documenting my family’s history. Hoping the archive allows for including some additional family details.

Improved location specificity. Thank you for the improved specificity regarding search by location, which I noticed after the latest update. My 3G grandparents, born in the 1820’s, always listed their birthplace as Württemberg, (Kingdom of Württemberg), which became a Bundesland of Germany when that country unified in the late 19th century, and _eventually_ was merged with Baden, to create the Bundesland of Baden-Württemburg. Previously, I had only been able to search for them in Europe under this most recent “state” name, which made my search area only half as specific as it could have been - frustrating, as I knew for sure that the area of Baden could be eliminated, but there was no way to do so. Their name was not uncommon, so the prospect of being able to narrow the search area down by half is very welcome!

Family Search Allows Me to Leave Photos and Stories for my Childrens Children. I love learning the names of my ancestors and I love that anyone can post their pictures and stories to family search because that means all the cousins are sharing. I especially love the fact that it allows a safe place for me to put my most prized pictures and priceless stories of my family that I have gathered from parents grandparents and great grandparents. Luckily I had most of my information in family search when my external hard drive crashed and I lost my other source. But I feel like family search is a place that my children can go to locate this information anywhere anytime. Thank you so much for this heaven sent miracle.

Excellent. This has helped me a great deal. Love this system. Far easier than the others that I use.

Needs upgrading. Yesterday iPhone 7 upgraded and this app no longer works.

My files. I use this program almost everyday!

Family Tree app. Great app to keep track of all your family from the past and the ordinances we need to perform for them in the future

Sue Keogh. I just love this, being able to connect to relatives and ancestors if not through the flesh, through the Holy Spirit ❤️

Problems with the ‘Famous Relatives’ activity.. About a month ago, I clicked on the Famous Relatives activity and found out I was related to Abraham Lincoln and a few other famous people. I clicked on it today and it said I have no famous relatives. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or something but it’s annoying. Please fix it. I usually like using this app for family research but this is putting me off.

Brooks family.. Have found my great grandparents on my grandfathers side but that’s as far as Incan find unless I have the information to add? If I knew that I would not have to search? That is the reason I am looking. Yours truely John

Tree changes incorrect. I have just been looking at potential relatives registered for roots tech. I was excited to see descendants of my McDowall family. However I see that several key people have ben changed- they are not correct. Therefore the descendants are not connected to me. I don't look at this tree very often. I will contact the people concerned, but my time is precious and this is a pain. The correct sources in Scotlands People Parish records, backed up by Burkes Colonial Peerage, just for starters, are not difficult to find. Why can anyone make changes without justifying it by any more than a statement that says’incorrect parent’. Sigh.

Myfamily. I love doing family history it is so interesting what you can come up with I have gone far back as early as 1700s I have also found graves of my ancestors I found one today 26 may 2020 it had a wrong name on it according to the print out that the council gave me so I have to get it fixed up it is my great grand mother Anne banfield

Family Tree. I have merged two People as I found that my grandfather was already in Family Search. However when I merged the two so that there wasn’t a duplication, I can’t seem to be able to enter the original person into my family tree. I have tried to do so in several ways. It means I can’t progress my tree.

Wrong names. I just feel that allowing people to add names to your family tree which you have worked hard to get it correct is driving me crazy and is really upsetting. This man has changed a person in my tree changed part of his name Wife is correct but then has made him coming from America when I know he is totally English then has inserted all of his American family to that tree AND done temple work. To change so many people and edit will take me weeks of hard work you have to stop this from happening If I could do Temple work through another site I would happily not use Family Search at all

Best app ever.. I would recommend this app to anyone researching their family tree. It does everything it says and more.

Privacy settings need improvement. I have raised this issue with your Help Desk and still nothing has changed. Family Search needs to include security on people’s family tree so that other people who are not from my family tree/line cannot make any changes to my family. We have had a number of issues with people who are not related, just members of the church, sealing the wrong people, changing dates and locations. This is ridiculous and needs to stop! Enough is enough. Fix family search so that I can protect my family from other “well meaning” Mormons who feel they know my family more than I do.

Frustrated. I feel frustrated I cannot get to see how I have always have seen my Family I want to change the pedigree and just cannot ...I just don’t get it.

Family ties. I love the fact I can carry my family history with me in the phone. Especially like the mapping tool; easy to use and clear illustration of where my ancestors all were. I never realised how many Scottish ancestors I had.

Creating an extended family tree. I found this app absolutely very helpful I enjoy the features and lay out. I keep adding details about my extended family on a frequent basis Thanks so much

My Family. What a great way to discover your family.

Accessibility:. I love the fact that when travelling, I can use this app to continue family history research, attach sources to my family tree and also take my phone to the temple to print ordinances. It’s been invaluable. Having this app has enabled me to do more family history because of its portability, even when at the doctors or other places that I would normally waste valuable time. It now gives me greater opportunity to be family history productive:)

Easy Access. Having the phone App is a quick and easy way to do my family history and I really enjoy the features available .

Family Tree App. It helps me organise my family tree and add sources and memories and photos. It also lets me merge my facts with others and correct facts or correct myself, this is really helpful.

Excellent. Love the new updates and the speed in which I can get work done. Thank for all your support!

How helpful this app is. This app is really helpful it's told me about a few people that are related to me, and has helped me help my lost long family

Family search. This is a great way to start your journey finding new people that your related to but standing upright and having a Baptism for your family I’ve been doing that since I got the Clarity that my mother and father and Grandfather have passed I’ve not met them yet I know they have a opportunity to meet again in the next Life because of the way that they have been given the opportunity for never ending peace in the Name above all Names Jesus Christ is my saviour and my Hearts fulfilled in My Heavenly Father and the Holy Spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ Amen thankfulness to all for the good of the app that I am so grateful for 🙏❤️⛪️😀😇📖

Family Tree on FamilySearch. Fantastic app that allows you to access your family tree at anytime and anywhere. Can also store photos, documents and share family stories. Information at your fingertips when doing research. Don’t need to lug about binders full of information. Just add it to Gamily Tree.

Russell -Wade Family. Amazing....hours and hours of time adding family and checking, so grateful to have had the opportunity to search and find family members around the globe. Thankyou so much🌻

Kathryn. Have tried to log into family search to search without success. The account will not accept my password. Very disappointed

User friendly. I do most of my Family History work on my laptop, but love this phone app because when I’m out and waiting for an appointment etc, I can go to the Tasks section and do some quick tidying up: standardise addresses, add names to photos, etc. I can also add to Memories on my own page, which is something I don’t usually make time for when I’m on my laptop. App offers so much more than I’ve covered here. Great app!

Family Search. I am pleased to report that Family Search is a connected cohesive network of information that through its design empowers individuals to identify and act on behalf of ancestors.

Famous people. Wow , I was gob smacked by my new found , never known , relatives from bygone days ! It’s a bit of fun to find out more each time I tune in to Family Search . Thankyou to everyone behind the scenes who makes this all happen ,as well as the search tools and suggestions for new tree information. Karen Leuders Australia 🙋‍♀️

Wonderful app. This is great app to use and I highly recommend it to everybody. You won’t be disappointed.

Stewart family tree. I have been researching my family this past year during the lock down it has saved my sanity I’ve throughly enjoyed doing it

Best App ever!. I love this App. I struggled for decades to do any Family History and prepare names for performing temple ordinances and now it’s so easy and fun and my trips to the temple are so much more meaningful to my wife, children and I. Thank you to all those involved in creating and maintaining and supporting this App. ❤️

Avalon Jayne Fairest 4/9/56. Family Search is very enjoyable and challenging at times, but, the more you use it the better you get at tracing your roots. I recommend & do so to all my family & friends. I know that I have family members who pay for other apps to trace their ancestors but they end up using Family Search. Highly recommend it!

Family History. Love researching family history, it brings families together

Very good but better with oversight for security. Mistakes happen and errors by self and others are sometimes hard to fix. It’s too easy to link people who by location and patronymic issues are fairly obviously not related. Another issue would be date of birth between generations. You should put up some guard rails or red flags when dates or patronyms or locations differ. And merging should be by oversight approval as well as by approval of interested parties. Having said that it still is a great help to have this app.

Had to delete it. Got fed up by this app constantly hijacking my sessions on safari. It kept trying to open the app when I was working. Hitting the cancel button doesn’t work. Then it would open at your page instead of the person you were working on. I found the app superior for some things like editing the life story but in the end it became too annoying.

I just love it!. A great resource that I can easily use to research my family history!

Family Tree. I love this app. Wherever Iam I can look at my family tree and all the other things associated with the app. I have recommended this app and have helped family and others in my ward who didn’t have it load it on their phones.

Great portability for iPone or iPad. Very useful to have on a mobile device to work on Family History when you are on the move etc.

Family History made easy. Thankyou for this wonderful app. I love being able to research about my ancestors, and I regularly get information about ancestors I never knew existed.

Thank you. I am so grateful for this app!!!! It allows me to easily show others my family trees!!! And talking about my ancestors with my family brings tears to my eyes

Jillian. I would like to be able to use as a spreadsheet, however doesn’t seem to be an option! Is this possible?

Mr. Walter Alvarez. Fascinated by the life’s of others than went before me, spanning many continents like I have done. I know enough about the life’s and names of my recent forefathers to realise they this is all proved and genuinely and lovely researched. Thanking you very much to all the people that pitched in, someone’s perfectly unknown, and some not so much!

Best free family tree app/site. Everything about this is great but struggling to find how to share with other family members so they can add their own memories and information

Unknown. It is a little confusing, but once you know how to use it it’s a breeze. Love learning about my ancestors!!!

A Great Incentive to Pursue Family History. I have recently joined, and am amazed at the wealth of information I can easily record, and the treasure chest of linked family history which has already been recorded by others. Thank you!

Ken Marsh. Love the tree . I have used ancetory and my heritage but I find family search a better layout.I am having a bit of trouble moveing around but am makeing slow progress.

Know my family way more. Get this now if want to know about you family 10/10

Ancestries on the go. The FamilySearch app allows on the spot updating of family tree information wherever you like. The only issue I have ever had with it is that being a public app other people can alter records without supply of supporting documentation.

Incorrect record by someone or system. I tried to recorrect person’s name, dob and dod on record as system refuse to amend , it is harder to recorrect. Because someone put wrong parents name of child . I am direct descendants of deceased great grandparents . Thank you .

Family tree. Family tree app has everything I need to research my family lines. It is user friendly and accurate.

Great app!!. Very useful for quick Family History referencing

Royal Lineage. So cool to see we are from the House of Stanley and direct descendants of Kings right up to 0105BC!

Print fan chart. I cannot figure out how to print my fan chart. Help says to tap 3 dots. I don’t have 3 dots.

Family Tree DNA. This app is amazing, incredibly powerful and useful!

Thank you. I appreciate having my family history in a place I know will always be safe.

Review of family tree. Great app. Love that I don’t need to put in a username and password. Easy to find info on ancestors. I wish family search and the church website for tithing would accept face recognition. Those sites are hard to get on. If a bank accepts Face ID why can’t everyone else.

My Family Tree. I’m very excited to add considerable family information but unsure how to begin. Any pointers? Thanks, David Ing

Excellent. I find this site exceptionally well laid out, I am dyslexic and therefore have problems navigating through many sites but this one is quite self-explanatory I love that you have a Help number that you can call and receive extremely goodInformation on how to proceed.

Family Tree. I really enjoy Family Tree! How they have been able to track my family history back hundreds of years! I wish they had a complete printable fan chart that would make it perfect!

Family Search. Very helpful!

Could be better. Great app. Hard to find names in my line. Searching for names in my line should be more intuitive. Easier for the searcher. Hard even for heavy computer users. When switching screens there should be a way to go back to last screen with all info as it was left rather than fields collapsing.

Can’t look without an account. This app will make you sign up for an account before you find what ur looking for and It WONT let me make a stupid account

Family search app. Excellent app and easy to use!!!!! Love it

Best family searching app ever!!. This is the best app ever, like all the others COMBINED (Ancestry, MyHeritige, Findmypast, ETC. But FREE for EVERYTHING Thank you so much to whoever made this app! You helped my find ancestors I didn’t know I had!!!

Family tree. Amazing to learn of my heritage. So many heroes each and every one! ❤️

Best app for family search. I love this App. I can connect (with mutual permission) with family I have never met. As we all do our research our tree grows together. Thank you for this.

L’incontournable en généalogie. Probablement la meilleure application pour faire sa généalogie. Base de données infinie, qui grandit toujours au fur et à mesure que les données sont ajoutées. Et tout ceci gratuitement. Le seul point négatif trouvé, c’est qu’on ne peut pas importer la généalogie fait sur de sites payants. Mais par contre, on peut faire la recherche directement de FamilySearch sur d’autres sites payants.

FamilySearch. The app is great to explore a profile but it needs the ability to open multiple windows in order to create or update a profile. In a web browser, I often have 4-6 FS windows open concurrently as I explore sources and direct relatives while updating a profile.

Overall, the new version is, good.. There are still inconsistencies between my PC and i-OS versions. Another part that I were unhappy with, were being directed back to Ancestry, to access digital images of the Canadian Census. With the extremely high and profiting prices that Ancestry is charging for that?? No, phricken way! Outside of that overall, I am liking the Family Tree software far more than the sigteare that I’ve used for years at Ancestry.ca and the next biggest competitor whom I shall not name, due to their high inaccuracies rate.

The Absolute Best and it’s free. I LOVE this. I’ve used them all and find this one so easy to use. I match it up with the others (heritage, ancestry, etc) to ensure accuracy. This site made my research so much easier. I wish I had found it before the all famous Ancestry site.

Mr. Wayne Dickson. I really enjoy Family Search and have gotten much information from them over many years! Family Search sent me some valuable information on my Groutage side of my Mother’s side of the family. I very much enjoy all the Dickson family history that you have supplied as well. A satisfied respondent, Wayne Dickson

Awesome. Thanks

horrible. It is the 21st century, 2020 and it will not let you use same sex couples. Shameful

Reliable. Does what it says it will. Easy to use.

Parent Relationships?. My parents were separated before they married so how do I show that? I can only add spouse and preferred parent. So then my stepmother is connected to my mothers parents etc..

Changes. Please don’t change it so often. Old folks have a hard time leaning any b of it and now we have to reachh h them differently. For me ok but elders not so ok.

Árbol genealógico. Un sobrino me compartió este app y desde ese día no he parado de averiguar acerca de mis antepasados, lo fantástico es cómo está relacionado con millones de personas y con documentos antiguos. He podido ver partidas de bautismo de mis abuelos y de mis padres, un descubrimiento fantástico!!!

Not happy.. Half of my tree disappeared for no reason and other people change my information. Plus I’ve sent messages to family search and no one has ever gotten back to me.

Can’t Sign In. Try to use my church account info as part fold the login and get told the password or username is wrong. So I can only sign in from a web browser. Will delete the app since it is useless to me.

Casse tête pour se connecter. Impossible d’accéder à l’application car c’est un casse tête pour crée un compte de connexion

Do not recommend!. It is 2019 and the fact that the app won’t allow you to add same sex spouses is distasteful.

Referente a repetición. Gracias por esta oportunidad de evaluar y valorar esta gran obra de indexación. Solo tengo una pregunta, y es .¿por que se me repiten nombres sobre los que ya he trabajado, y me pide el sistema volver a revisar la indexación, si ya aparecen bajo mi nombre los datos que he actualizado, basado en los registros sugeridos, sean estos notariales, de censos, o parroquiales? Gracias Carloshumbertojimenez1

Amazing. It has helped me with many things I really love it

Family History rules.. I love how you can do your own family history and find links to other people’s family.

Feedback. I am finding it hard to navigate and edit.

Fun work. Simple format, easy to follow.

Love this app!. App is so easy to use and connects me to stories and photos from the past. My kids and I love to look at pictures from our great great great grandparents

Great app. It’s such a great app! It helps you connect and find your ancestors and relatives. Family Search also helps to to ancestry work to help your relatives in heaven. LOVE FAMILY SEARCH!!

Happy Camper. Best free money I’ve ever spent. Love the site. Love the app with just the family tree. Learned so much about my family

Awesome experience!. I can’t believe how much is available through this app for FREE! What a treat. I’m completely hooked and am learning so much about my family in multiple directions. I highly recommend this app!

Family Tree. The best free genealogy app for checking ancestors.

Love this app. I use this app a lot especially to learn about my family.

Roots tech cousins. Amazing how it can sort Per relatives to find family

Loving Family History!. I have used Family Tree for years now and I trust them to be accurate with my family data and totally enjoy every family find made. They are wonderful.

Workability. I had booked an appointment at the temple and had a certain name, my mothers great aunt, that I wanted to take to the temple. My plan was to go home from work, change, grab my temple bag with that name and go to my appointment. I got tied up at work and had just enough time to drive across town straight to the temple and skip going home. The temple workers were gracious about me wearing dress pants, but I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to do my mother‘s great aunt’s work, until I remembered this app. I pulled it up, clicked on Temple, chose my ordinance and was able to pull up a QR code for my mother‘s great aunt. The temple office printed it off and I did the ordinance. I was quite struck with how the Lord and the church have made doing God’s work workable in an unworkable world. truly miraculous!

One Gigantic Family. I’m so pleased with the wonderful resources available for research and the ordinance ready program. Although there can be mistakes made by various contributors I think the positives outweigh any negatives. More and more is being added daily. There are little miracles happening all the time!

Lots of relatives. Enjoying cousins

Amazing tool to further the work of God.. Nuff’ said

In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

I love FamilySearch!. I like to do memories on FamilySearch but I don’t like it that there is a time limit on the audios. I like to talk a lot and 5 minutes isn’t very much time. I also wish that people could see my posts about my pictures because they aren’t allowed to see it until I have died and then I won’t be able to reply to their comments. But I like changing the colors on the pedigree, and I love doing comments and messages because I’m not old enough to do it on social media. I am going to go to the temple next month if it is open by then because I am turning twelve next year and this will be a big help! I love FamilySearch because it is awesome like me!

My favorite tree, but.... My favorite tree, but I have problems deleting people I added to my tree in error... also note there are duplicate people - any way to eliminate one or the other? 4/27: Sent this in a lo-o-o-ng time ago. My issue today is I need a “how to” in order to delete/merge what are clearly duplicate people in the records here. One of my antecedents has very good documentation that agrees with my records obtained from other sites. There are 4 more people with the same name, born close to the same date, and with not much else to distinguish them from one another.

Family I have always wondered about!. My mother came from pioneer family, yet she was a convert to the church. Not knowing or understanding what happened that she didn’t have the gospel in her life. As I have been able to read of family members, it has brought an understand and joy for these loved ones. My mother too has been excited to read and learn of these wonderful pioneers. Thank you for sharing. I only wish I could meet some of the family today. I am grateful they have been willing to share what they have. I love our family and am grateful they endured so many hardships for the rest of us yet to come to Earth.

So easy to use!. I don’t even know all of my families information, but within a few dedicated hours, I was able to trace my family tree all the way back to 290 BC! It’s amazing what you can find out with just a few clicks and search engine finds. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about your family tree! Only thing I wish there was an improvement on is seeing connections between cousins. I’ve been told some things from family members in the past related to cousins and I haven’t been able to delve deeper into it on here, YET.

I personally think this is the best app for genealogy but…. Recently the App has been doing something strange, when you go to, say, add a child with an ID number or anything else where that same box pops up for you to put the ID it will not let you put an id, you have to go to the website to do it because something is messed up in the app. Maybe it’s just me? Maybe it’s that I’m on iPad os 17? There’s been a couple updates since this started and it hasn’t been fixed. It’s annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon because this is the easiest app to attach sources and see relationships.

Changes roll out with bugs. Needs better testing. Each time app is updated, there are new bug that take forever to fix. The support team does not respond when you report an issue. Currently, the latest update is causing some family members to not have matches when comparing marriage records and some other records. This is causing users to create duplicate records thinking the records don’t exist. I love the data available. I love that it’s free. I love that it’s 100% open for anybody to update and add records. I like a lot of the user friendly functions. But developers are very slow to fix problems.

Good but could be better. I love doing family history but the main problem is that things keep getting erased from my tree that me and my grandma have put in many many times. My aunts husband and kids aren’t on the tree even though they should be. Although this is my only complaint every thing else is perfect. The way I can find out where my ancestors came from and how to connect to them better then ever. I am so very grateful for this opportunity to connect to my family but also show what I find to my family. I do have one question can you add a second family for example my dad was adopted but we don’t know much how can I find sources for them?

Give Back My Old Tree. I am not a fan of the Family Search app. Before downloading the app I could control whether my tree display was portrait or landscape. This made it so much easier to add people, and to see the family progression, The whole process of verifying ancestors was easier. Also with the app, If I mistakenly add the wrong person to my tree I can't find a way to delete them. I have considered deleting the app, in hope that all of my records would still be available on the website. But I am afraid that all of my information would be gone and I'd have to start over.

Crappy service all trees should be locked from others making changes on everyone’s line. When someone makes a change to a family tree instead of changing everyone’s tree it should ask if each person wants to make the change we have someone who keeps making incorrect changes and I have to keep going in and fixing it over the weekend a 15 year old who didn’t know what they were doing deleted 9 generations on my mom’s line by changing who her grandmother’s parents were and it is getting very frustrating that I have to keep fixing other people’s mistakes I also had someone challenge my mothers death as our family was with her as she passed in her home I’m pretty sure I know when my mom passed

This is great. I found my roots!. Please take the time to look your people up. The more I read, the more understood myself. I found personalities and characteristics of my ancestors that made me laugh, cry and appreciate who I am. There are gems all over the place. I never knew. I’m not a employee or affiliated with with this company. I am a Mormon, but not active in the church. I was hesitant to sign up… glad I did. Their not going to tell you, but the church has the most extensive database in the world. When it comes genealogical research, trust them. They are solid and honest. You’ll be surprised how much you learn about yourself.

Finding my lost family. My parents were killed in a car accident 3 weeks after the Missionaires baptized our family of 7 at the Grennich Stake Center in Sydney,Australia. An Aunt in the USA came over to Australia, picked up us five remaining kids and joined them with her five boys in Terra Linda California. Since that time I have served in numerous church callings including ten years as a Counselor in a Stake Presidency, and ten years as Stake President. I have finally found the time to find and research my family tree, and find my Mom and Dads families. You have made it so easy for me. Thank you, for helping me find my way home.

Genealogy. I just love searching genealogy, I am 83 so know I make mistakes, mostly when I work on it so long I get rummy. My husbands family are not the same faith and hadn’t had an interest in genealogy, but for some reason when his grandmother was I’ll she handed me a ledger with her brothers and sisters in, I had 9 children and hadn’t started working on genealogy, after kids were grown I began, I now have many of his lines 14 generations. I also work on my line, I have one of my daughters that has the bug for researching and one sister that is really into genealogy. Your program is awesome.

Gathering Israel. This program is so vast and marvelous. Thank you to each person who has worked many decades on this grand and inspired system so each of us can be privileged to gather our ancestors into God’s Kingdom. In the late sixties I took a genealogy class from Brother Bloxham at BYU. Many times he would be so excited about the future use of computer programs that would bless this sacred work. I couldn’t imagine it, since I was a student employee in the Administration building and saw the “computer” in the basement that almost took the whole floor. Now we hold this sacred work on the tiny computer in our hands. “The Lord’s hand is stretch out still” and with the closing of all temples tomorrow — this gathering of “ dear ancestors” will be ready receive their saving ordinances when the temples open and the work continues to press forward in the work of the Lord. My sincere and thankful gratitude can not be spoken deep enough. Muchicimous Gracias—Sister Marilee Barton Clark Hurrah for Israel!!!

Considerations. I love genealogy & that this site is available. It is disconcerting to discover that years of work can be changed with whim by whomever likes. Example, I called SLC headquarters regarding such a change to my records. Finally, I spoke to a gentlemen who said, “Well, your work is wrong.” Why? I know of these people & have family bible records. He replied that simple numbers are off. I explained that my gg grandfather was killed at the first battle of Manasseh, leaving his wife Nancy Elizabeth Walker Keen(e) a pregnant widow with 4 other young children to be passed around by family. She had two more babies well after David Myer Keen’s death. She gave them the Keen family name. I won’t go on. It was a mess.

Family Tree App. I love this app! It really is what makes it possible for me to learn more about my family and do family history work. It brings me so much joy to be able to do family history work, and I can feel love from my ancestors and Heavenly Father when I’m serving my family on the other side of the veil. I love how I can get my own family names to take to the temple. Even though it can be a little confusing at times, all of these amazing things wouldn’t be possible without this app! I just cannot express how grateful I am for it, and I wish everyone had the blessing of having it, too!

Best app ever!!. The Family Tree app is my favorite! It allows me so much ease in doing my family history. It brings all of the information together and allows me to take it with me wherever I go so I may continually work on my family no matter where I am. The only con I can think of is at times I would like to be able to look at the documents so I can truly verify the information and see it for myself, however I can always go on my computer if I need to see the documents. I love the ease in which I can take the names to do the work for my ancestors. Thank you for creating this app to further the work.

Incredibly intuitive. I love this app. It is incredibly intuitive and a great way to make family history work accessible and easy to accomplish. Because of this app, I’ve been able to utilize waiting times that would previously have been spent comparing myself to everyone else on social media to connect with my ancestors by seeing pictures, attaching sources, and reading journal entries. I’ve been fascinated by some of the things I have found and intrigued by the implications in my life. For example, my fourth-great grandfather was an accomplished fiddle player, and would serve the people on the long voyage across from England to America by fiddling for them....when he wasn’t suffering from violent seasickness. As someone who both suffers from motion sickness as well as who plays the violin, this was a fun little detail to learn....a connection, if you will, to a different time and place. Thank you to all of those who have developed this app. It’s wonderful. ❤️

A Wonderful Way to Connect with Family. I love this website and I love the app. It is wonderfully and beautifully designed to help you find your ancestors! You can figure out what information is missing from their profiles, and find people to take to the temple. Each person shows what ordinances they have completed and which need to be done. You can also find and read documents about your family and learn more about them. I love this app and website and appreciate it so much. It’s also 100% free!!! I wish you luck in finding your family!

Finding Relatives. Thank you to everyone who keeps this free and up to date. Through this program and whoever does the research on your end, I have been able to trace my family history clear back to the 17 th Century. The information your program provides is very easy to explore and the information I have garnered is way above anything I could have imagined. Thank You to everyone who has any position in this program for being so diligent in amassing this information for people like me to utilize in putting together a Family History. I very highly recommend this site to anyone putting together a Family Tree.

Records. I love Family Tree! I still prefer working on my computer instead of my phone, because it’s hard to get the whole picture when you can’t see the whole family at the same time. I don’t think it’s a good idea to attach records from the app because you can’t always see enough to be sure and it’s more time consuming to go back and forth to different screens to check things out. I’ve found a lot of records attached to the wrong people and I just wonder if they weren’t done on a phone. Thank you for working constantly to improve this wonderful work. 😊

Prejudice. I have really loved this app for its ability to document and discover my family tree. However, I was about to upload a photo of a relative and see that photos may not contain “people kissing” or “cross-dressing”… So the app would like to restrict memories of love and memories of self-expression. Got it. Also, what do they even consider “cross-dressing”… do they really mean that they don’t want to see transgender people or drag queens or Tom boys? I’m confused by this limitation. And how would you even know if it was “cross-dressing”? Also, in the Shakespearean era, men always dressed as women in plays. Does this count as “cross-dressing”? This is just archaic and harmful prejudice. Very disappointed to have been supporting an app for years with such narrow-minded views.

Long family History. I was able to trace my dad’s family to almost the beginning. It went back to Ancient Rome and my dad and his family all found out together because I had never taken a certain path on the tree and in trying to find a specific person, I went further than I had previously gone. Someone on my dad’s side had already put in hour and months of research to find all the information but we don’t know who. Just loved finding out about myself and seeing that my ancestry dna matches up with my family history

Can't even get in. I've never in my life seen an app that makes it so impossible to change your password when you've forgotten it. It requires "two step authentication." When you click on the second link, you get an error message. When I finally, by some miracle, found the password reset page and put in a new password, it said I had waited too long to reset it. The web site has an FAQ but no where to contact an administrator for help. How can I use this app when I can't sign in and can't get any help?!?! Help!!

Family Search. Love thIs program and I like the price (free). Been using this for 3/4 years now. It was a little hard to catch on to at first, but now it is a piece of cake. It’s nice to do public record searches, find the document, and attach it to the ancestor. So many of the programs want to charge a fee. I have a problem with that, if it is a public record, why should I have to pay. I have had a few instances of problems, but when I have contacted them, they have been resolved swiftly and efficiently. The maintenance people are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the program.

Interesting discovery. Thank you for such an revealing almost accurate ancestors app. I never knew my grandfather wife’s family name or that my grandfather ( my Dad’s dad) had so many siblings. The most interesting facts was to discover that twins run in our family. From the information that I was able to gather I’m going to try and connect with family - extended family on my Dad’s side. Thank you so much —- why did I say ALMOST because my Dad’s information was totally missing —- his wife’s name and all his children ( smile). This research and the information your ancestry app supplied will assist me greatly. Again THANK YOU Phyllis L Garrison-Hallman

App. The App doesn’t match the website and is much more difficult to use for research. Please allow us a search tab from a particular ancestor so we don’t have to type in the name in Search Historical Records, or provide a tutorial. (This was already here. Did I write that previously?) So now, under Take to the Temple, I’d like the ordinance to change color once it’s been printed so when I come back to print another ordinance before the first one has been done, I don’t reprint. As I do more research, I find ordinances that haven’t been done, and it would be simpler if I didn’t have decide which had already been printed. Thanks so much!!

I belong. Growing up I was on my own.... a lot. As the saying goes you don't know who you are until you know where you came from. I happen to be a descendent of Vikings, Emperors, Kings, Knights, Lords, Ladies, Queens, Princesses, Pilgrims, Sailors, Soldiers, Founding Fathers, Presidents, Movie Stars, Actors, Inventors, Indigenous Healers, Conquistadors, Farmers, Governors, Doctors, Lawyers, Chefs, and more. I used to feel like I was alone and less than. After researching and reading and speaking and writing, I may only be half the person my ancestors were but that's more than I thought. I am so grateful to have this tool and I hope if you're reading this we connect somewhere along the way.

Always a great experience!. Family Search is a fantastic tool! I tell SO many people about it and use it on a daily basis. I’ve have friends set up accounts right away, and they and are so grateful for the access to family information as well as the opportunity to learn and add more to this BIG collaborative family tree ❤️ some just prefer that I help them and that works great too! Feedback from the technical team is always helpful. New things are coming out all the time to make it more up to date and easier to use. Thank you so much Family Search!!!

Awesome!. I really like how you can see all your ancestors memories and all their ordinances! My family made and illustrated a book about some of our close ancestors and used the memories on there! It’s very organized and a great way to find your family and some names to take to the temple! One thing I don’t get though is I have all of my moms side and none of my dads side. I know that the records exist for my dads side because he does family names with my mom and his siblings but it doesn’t show up on mine. It’s fine, I’ll probably find out how to some day but for now I’m still enjoying everything I can get!

Exciting discovery!. Just the other morning I got a message from family search that I may have a Mayflower ancestor. That caught my attention and interest and I logged into my account to see what I could find. I went to find ancestor’s and it took me to my ancestor. My ancestor was a famous pilgrim and one that I had read about a few months ago not knowing then that I was one of the millions of his posterity! I have spent hours now reading many of the memories that are attached to him. This Thanksgiving will mean a lot more to me knowing I have much to be grateful for. My 10th great Grandparents, John and Elizabeth Howland. Both who were among those first courageous Mayflower Pilgrims. Thank you Family Search !

So Helpful and Enjoyable. Using this app has been helpful and enjoyable. I can see my family tree in a variety of ways and see source helps from others too. I enjoy the extra fun ways to connect with family by relatives around me, seeing the map of where my ancestors came from and the histories we can share with one another to know our common ancestors better. Another feature that has been fun and helped us connect to ancestors is the feature where we did a face comparison to our ancestors and to see our similar looks. Our children enjoyed that.

Temple Work (Gathering of Israel), Made Easier. I happen to be descended from pioneer stock and most of my ancestors have been found and the temple work done. I live near a temple and am blessed to be able to go there several times a week. So I am grateful for this app that gives me ordinances for distant relatives that need completing. I hope that my cousins for whom getting the actual ordinances completed is difficult for whatever reason can find the people who need the ordinances and I can do the actual temple work can continue to make a great team. Thank you Family Tree for what you do. I love it!

I LOVE THIS APP!!!!!!!. i wanted to dive deeper into my family history, but never knew i’d be able to find all the information I did! I got more info than my family member who went through ancestry and put a whole binder together. this app is incredible. on top of being able to find way more info than I expected, literally all I had to do was click a button. I put in a few family members and suddenly I got info dating back to 1645! the app did basically all the work for me and i’m so so thankful to have this information, I can’t wait to tell my family what i’ve found.

Many blessed thanks. 🙏🏻. I have learned more about my lineage in one year from Family Tree and all of its affiliated researchers and contributors than my family has in decades. It has put my life as a military historian and counter-terror operative into superb focus and context. Now I can look back over two millennia to see the ancestors who carved a similar path through history. I can now look forward with a sense of calm pride that one day I will take my place among them with my head held high and the fears born of my torturous past exorcised finally from my heart. Thank you. Robin D Townsend CR-4, ONI/NSWC (ret.) Central Ward, Layton, Utah

Learning so much!. I have had a membership with Family Search for quite a while but have just really begun digging into it this summer. I have the app on my phone and tablet and am now receiving messages to inform me about important dates and events in the lives of my ancestors. There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t use it. I recently received info about ancestors who were pioneers traveling west during the 1800’s. I’ve been able to see photographs and read registries and logs written by members of the party. I would never have known anything about these ancestors. It’s so interesting! Thank you so much!

Finding my family from knowing basically nothing. I knew about my moms side but very little I knew my great great grandma had come over from Poland but not much after that I was told to get the app from my boyfriend’s mother who also knew very little about her family and ancestors as well my brith father isn’t in my life so his side was always a mystery I’m now figuring and finding my family history out on both sides and I’m crying with happiness my whole life I didn’t know anything about my dads side I need to figure out his mothers name and heritage but 8m so glad to see I’m 100% German on his fathers side thank you for this free amazing app!!!

Connecting in many ways. I love seeing my family through so many charts- preferring fan chart. I love the shared memories and photos. I love the combined efforts and finding others to work together with. My family tree has many mistakes but I have learned more and made many corrections. The suggested info and sources have helped me breakthrough walls and find more connections. I love my family and love all the sources I’ve found to get to know those who came before and sacrificed for their children and allowed me to enjoy so many blessings today! Thanks family search!!

Family Search answer to prayer. After asking lots of questions about family, identifying people and scanning hundreds of pictures, I tried to figure out what the best plan could be to share them. Making scrapbooks or online books couldn't reach all family members so I signed up for Family Search. I love how it’s so easy to upload pictures, identify each individual and write something about them. I am actually sharing with whoever is interested and I am moving forward, uploading a picture or two when I have a spare minute. It is user friendly especially for me!

Best App Ever. I love this app to keep track of my family tree and ancestry. One of my favorite features is Relatives Around Me. If you have others near you that use this app, you can see how you are related. I am amazed at how so many people are my cousins. At least in my area I am cousins to more than half of the people I try this with. It does require that those people are connected into the public family tree of FamilySearch to do this. This doesn’t work with the private trees of like Ancestry, it only works with the single public tree of FamilySearch. This is truly amazing and you realize you have living family all around you. Pretty awesome.

Wow!. I learned so much about my ancestors! You can look up deceased people and see if you’re related! I found out many celebrities and idols are my tenth cousins! Lol so cool! I put my parents info and their trees were already there, I did add some photos and it’s really cool! Great tool! A lot of work went into this it’s quite amazing! There’s photos of great and great great grandparents and people I never really knew their names! It was interesting to learn a little more about their lives, where they lived etc.. I never knew my mothers fathers side or ever met him and I was able to learn more about his side. Some of my grandmothers side didn’t go to far back but some lines go way far back!!

Great but needs improvement. First, there appears to be a bug when reviewing attachments. I’m not always able to click and drag family members to various parts of a person’s record. For example, when attaching a source record to my grandfather’s record, I can’t click and drag my grandmother and their children to the record. Second, I’d really like to be able to create a new person when finding them in historical record searches. Instead, I have to separately create a new person - then find the record again - before adding their details to my tree. Thanks for reading this, I really hope that someone looks into it!

Life Sketch & Notes. I only started Family Tree about a year ago, I really enjoy the stories about my relatives who have gone on & I feel now I know them and feel so close to them. The stories @ pictures, makes me feel so close even though I never knew them especially 5-8 generations & how brave they were to come to America & all the hard it must have been for them & the stories of how they struggled to make a new life thru the wars & diseases that they all endured but continued on thru the centuries. I love to work on finding out about new discovery’s every day. I get started & can’t quit!!😊 Bitygirl bitigirl

Nice. Family search is super user friendly. By far the best ancestry type app. The church has done a great job with this app!!! However... I’ll list the cons: I strongly suggest family search not let people who are not closely related to a person alter the information. It irritates me that someone who is very new at genealogy or really distantly related can alter info based on 1 census record. Also, there needs to be some way to triple check when doing ordinances. I have family sealed to multiple husbands, men sealed to “mistresses” and people sealed to multiple sets of parents. I don’t agree with this.

Missionary Tool. I really like to use the ‘relatives around me’ feature. I use it all the time! It would be an incredible missionary and gathering tool if it were possible to have the ability to invite someone to download the app and see how we’re related. I have attempted to do this with new friends and sometimes strangers that I have just met who show interests in family history but haven’t successfully been able to have them download the app and have access to the features without having a membership record number. Is something like that possible? If do it would be an amazing missionary tool!

One problem. I love this app I think it’s amazing. I have found multiple ancestors on here that need ordinances done(so I can have an excuse to go to the temple) it’s great. But one thing. I like looking back as far as I can on my family tree to see if I’m related to any ancient famous people. I figured out I’m related to Julius Caesar. But I hate having to extend the tree a lot and so I tried out the fan family tree thing. But it only goes back seven generations so I wish it went back a lot more like 100 generations or I wish I didn’t have to extend the tree so much

Joy of family.. Family tree information has enriched my life. I’ve learned many things that I did not know about my family. It has provided an opportunity to understand why so much of the information on the individual families was seldom spoken about. Many of us are from Kentucky, And I did not live in Kentucky after I became five. Family tree has given me the opportunity to understand and to try to contact other members of family tree. I’ve just finished a few days enjoying onLine the roots tech program. I look forward to revisiting what I saved but my understanding will increase. Thank you family history Grma

Tools and Features of Family Tree App. The tools and features of the Family Tree App communicate so effectively with the FamilySearch database and with me. I am very experienced as a genealogist and temple patron, but I continue to be amazed at how the software has advanced. As an example, my wife is visiting Hawaii with some other sisters and I equipped her with eight female family names for endowment, as I knew that they intended to go to the Laie Temple. This afternoon, I received a message from FamilyTree, listing the seven ancestors that just had their endowment done at the Laie Temple. This was very exciting and now I will review the families that are ready for the sealing ordinance, when my wife returns from Hawaii!

Newest update broke something?. For the last 2 days I am having issues looking at photos via the censuses or any record where you can view them online through Family Search, also it keeps popping up with multiple little boxes telling me that an item isn’t on the webpage and to click to go to the webpage or cancel I’ve had 5 of these boxes right on top of each other on the app version, also on the app and website if you try to view a source you have attached already it acts like it can’t load it so you can look at it, also the website also is having issues with photos too after displaying the photo it says it had issues loading not sure what is going on but this needs to be addressed asap

Should not let anyone just post. I encountered over two hours of mistakes on my family tree. And I’m not done yet. I had a man added to my moms siblings who is definitely not even a relative. My moms sister is listed as deceased since 2012 and she’s very much alive. A middle name was added to my grandfather who only had an initial because of the war draft. His first name was spelled wrong as well as my grandmothers first name. I can go on but this is the worst site I’ve ever been on and I do not appreciate just having anyone adding to my family tree. I as well as some of my relatives spent a lot of time and hard work creating out tree and then to find this site and it is a mess!! You clearly do not understand the importance of genealogy. We do this for future generations and can you imagine how confusing they would be if they saw your website? I’m very unhappy!!!

Appreciating this ancestry website !. This is the most amazing accurate and easily navigated website. The information I’ve been able to add to my family tree is unbelievable. I’ve learned more from this FREE site than the one I’m currently a paid member of, which I’m disappointed in to say the least. I will be canceling that membership and intend to devote my energy and volunteer my spare time researching for this sight. Thank you to all the sweet volunteers who have dedicated so much time in helping others. What a true inspiration you all are! Jana Nace
