Listen up people there needs to be a class action lawsuit against familysearch org when I complained about them through consumer people because I tried to call them to get help and they didn t help me they sent their dogs after me in a letter form they re stupid attorneys that s what they did to the consumer that is profiling and discrimination something needs to be done big time do not trust them

Protect your family tree

Altough Family Search has a useful database there is are doubts about the accuracy of family trees Anyone however bad their research can add incorrect data onto your family tree You upload or build your tree only to find that some anonymous for want of a better phrase researcher has attached spurious ancestors but you cannot immediately correct the error you do not own your own tree

I thought this was a great website that

I thought this was a great website that led me to ancestors I never knew about until I followed several lines of my supposed ancestors including Kings and Queens of England France and Spain and countless other royalty all the way back to Julius Caesar It became suspect at the very least The complete deal breaker was the line that showed I was descended from the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene This is a disgustingly dishonest ripoff I feel ashamed to even give it one star

The new website is totally unusable

The new website is totally unusable I couldn t edit a person record to change the date from 1936 to 1836 That fix would have eliminated the web-generated complaint that the mother s birth was after the child someone put the date in wrong -- should we be eternally punished for it I can t even register for the community board because it doesn t accept my username and says Verified is not an integer I won t use this tool for my family tree I ll stick with Ancestry Their website doesn t suck

Lied About My Family Tree

I used to like the site until they turned into liars and frauds They sent an email to me on March 13 2023 stating i was related to George Washington The instruction was to click again to see how It then said I was an eighth cousin once removed and provided my family tree as supporting evidence I told my grandkids who were naturally excited and wanted to tell their friends but their mom suggesting holding off until further verification I could not find any and a few days letter followed up with Family Search and was told I was not related to George Washington at all They had faked the name of an ancestor on the family tree it turns out What was gained by them for such blatant lying I have no idea I will never trust them again for anything

FS is a total mess and not worth the effort

The tree is a total mess and any advanced genealogist would know that Why bothering spending time uploading or entering information when any Tom Dick or Harry can change it at bey No thanks I ll keep my tree on my computer and in my family and not somewhere on the internet where buffoons like certain members of FS can mess it up As for support several members on that site were reported for abuse towards others but what do FS do Allow them to keep their membership Best advice I can offer to others just starting with FS is to not add your information as it will probably be changed in a matter of days by the FS bullies The records are good on the site but the tree itself is totally corrumpted

No longer reliable accepts posts without verification

I began my Tree years ago and all was well for a while No longer so As it s a public domain anyone can post on your Family Tree without support or evidence and tell outright lies under assumed names Case in point an LDS member and vindictive divorcee of my brother using bogus names posted inserted changed and lied about various deceased family members whom she had never known She also sunk so low as to report as a Source I was at his funeral The funeral of her 2 year old grandson She was not and all in attendance would state same However FamilySearch accepted this post My other complaint is we found a new relative emails I receive Most if not all are totally false being persons not at all related to my family Yet accepted as gospel by FamilySearch Trying to verify or delete via their so called Support is a total waste of time I ve been to the Library in Salt Lake City A wealth of information and worthwhile But the FamilySearch function now stinks I m thru with it

FRAUD

THIS SITE DOES NOT EVEN WARRANT ONE STAR ACCORDING TO THIS SITE I AM A RELATED TO JESUS NOAH QUEEN NEFERTITI AND VARIOUS OTHER HISTORICAL FIGURES KINGS AND QUEENS IT ACTUALLY STATES THAT MY OLDEST RELATIVE IS GOD HIMSELF AND THE BIG BANG IT LITERALLY HAS BIG BANG WRITTEN IN THE SPACE FOR FATHER OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION AND SELLING IT THEY HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN ACCURACY BECAUSE THEIR BUSINESS IS INFORMATION COLLECTING AND SELLING NOT GENEALOGY COMPLETE FRAUD

A person who stole my identity and is

A person who stole my identity and is harssing people while pretending to be me I just spent an hour with FS support and had to listen to the support person explain to me over and aover and over that this didn t happen and I got frustrated because-just like always calling for support is a big fail The two women I spoke with just don t want to offer any sort of assistance I m reporting it to cyber crimes FBI Second woman kept arguing with me trying to explain how this is NOT possibly happening I offered to send her the screenshot she argued that it s not possible to create a screenshot of the webpage she also told me NOT to send her the screenshot She didn t want to see it She gave me a headache I hung on on her when she wouldn t stop arguing You recall when this began four years ago It has taken away any pleasure I once had doing geneaology This has been a constant for four years Each time it s reported Family Search support claims it s not true
