Family Search Warning Do not make a family tree and contribute your research
I wish I had never put my family genealogy on Family Search Family Search has absolutely no respect for my decades of research with original records from handwritten Norwegian Parish records dating back to the 1600s and 1700s These records are difficult to decipher and were contributed by a cousin and her husband who could read old Norwegian language and scripts Family Search adds very inaccurate information attaches erroneous records that are just attached and not researched These records then become so official and cannot be challenged or corrected The idea that US census records state records birth records etc may have serious inaccuracies don t appear to be considered Contributors have deleted sourced records I add have been very very rude closed minded and refused corrections Some editors and or contributors also do not discern common names that appear to be the correct person but are not the same person who may even come from the same area county state US Or they don t understand the numerous name derivatives of foreign family names farms towns churches that are in a historical different culture Some of these names changed throughout time There appears to be no thought or research in their method of adding sourced records There is no acknowledgement that I or any family member may have spent decades researching and have so much to offer Family Search and other users I wish I could delete any and all numerous contributions of my family to Family Search but it is out there online and will remain with incorrect research that will continue to next generations Avoid this site or use it as a source only I wish I had never made a family tree in Family Search They are right and I am wrong Black and white and unconscionable thinking and research I wish I avoided all world wide community genealogy trees What a nightmare I wish I had kept all my genealogy offline and only used any genealogical site as a resource to download
