FamilySearch Tree for Positive User Reviews

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..Version: 3.9.12

Sue KeoghI just love this, being able to connect to relatives and ancestors if not through the flesh, through the Holy Spirit ❤️.Version: 4.4.3

KathrynHave tried to log into family search to search without success. The account will not accept my password. Very disappointed.Version: 3.5.4

Well doneI have been using family search for some years now and each year it is getting better. I’ve managed to research so many family on this site. I am now finding my way around the site more easily and compiling the information in an organised way. Just wish there was a place to put family members who I’m not sure about and look at them later to identify if they belong to the family or not or just have a tool to earmark people if I’m not sure and go back to them at a later time. Overall a very good FREE site..Version: 3.9.18

Family searchThis 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 🙏❤️⛪️😀😇📖.Version: 4.6.6

Family Tree DNAThis app is amazing, incredibly powerful and useful!.Version: 4.6.5

Mrs. ShatarrecaI 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..Version: 4.6.5

Great free app for researching family treeThis is a tremendous app, especially given that it’s free. Now that the previous issue with incorrect language seems to have been fixed, happy to bump this up to four stars. Would be even better if more source documents had digitised images so we can check when summary record seems ambiguous (e.g. marriage record showing multiple names for possible spouses), and better functionality to make it easier to keep track of current context within the family tree when checking/ looking for sources (to help avoid leaping to incorrect conclusions). Even so, it’s still a very good app..Version: 3.9.13

Absolutely AMAZING!!Omg! This app is fantastic and completely free! It doesn’t have recent births but I managed to find some from 2000 which is good enough for me as you don’t need any after that! I use this app a lot and I managed to go back to 1800 BC all thanks to all the information stored in this one app! This app is great and I’ve already recommended to my sister-in-law and at least 5 of my friends! Can’t praise this app enough! Definitely a must have!!.Version: 4.1.4

Great way of tracing your family treeI have used this for a number of years , to trace my family tree and it’s been so helpful and informative, all so great to confirm any info passed to me Big Thanks to all the staff at Family Search for the time they put in to help others. From Max Hamilton.Version: 4.2.0

Family Search Allows Me to Leave Photos and Stories for my Childrens ChildrenI 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..Version: 4.4.4

Avalon Jayne Fairest 4/9/56Family 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!.Version: 4.6.5

Feeling ConnectedLove this app. You do not have to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to enjoy this free resource..Version: 4.6.5

Roots tech cousinsAmazing how it can sort Per relatives to find family.Version: 4.6.5

FrustratedI 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..Version: 3.3.3

The Beat Genealogy Site EverI came here a number of years ago because I got sick and tired of paying Ancestry and others to access family history information that I personally had entered, that they commercialized and then so graciously offered to sell back to me..Version: 3.9.22

Wonderful appThis is great app to use and I highly recommend it to everybody. You won’t be disappointed..Version: 4.1.0

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.Version: 4.4.7

Family Search TreeWonderful and best of all it’s free for everyone to use, so easy to share research with family who live all over the world, they can look at what I have found/read stories/ see photos or work on our ancestors together as it’s one tree accessed by everyone. Love the feature to make notes and add discussions..Version: 3.7.1

Genuine Treat!This app is cost free and an amazing resource for building up a family tree. The actual layout takes a while to get used to but after a short period of time you will master it. Already got my whole extended family jointing in with building up the family history. Well done LDS on a real gem!!!.Version: 1.3.3

Could be betterGreat 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..Version: 4.6.5

I recommend this to everyoneIn short, if you’re looking for an app to make a family tree, this is it. It’s easy to operate (for old and young), completely free, and tends to fill in gaps for you with minimal effort on your part. I recommend it to everyone. I’m definitely on the younger side of this app’s user base; I first downloaded it when I was fourteen and am about to turn nineteen. Most everyone on this app is people my grandparents’ age, but that’s kind of the appeal of it. I’ve run into distant relatives that I wouldn’t have expected to even know how to operate a computer on this app. It’s nice to have a tiny digital connection with someone you might never meet otherwise. The way this app operates is incredibly easy if you need it to be and very complicated if you want it to be. In some ways, it’s grown with me. I built my original family tree at fourteen by asking my remaining grandparents for their parents’ names and birthdays. Now, I’m working on solving my great great grandmother’s parentage, one of the few blank spots left after my tree connected with others. Less importantly, I love the feature that allows you to find out if you’re related to a specific person. It’s weird, but if you ask a friend for a deceased blood relative, you can find out if you’re at all related. My friend and I found out that we were 32nd cousins!.Version: 4.7.7

Excellent AppI love this App it’s easy to use and great to load our whakapapa.Version: 4.4.6

Could be a lot betterI have been using the free program that LDS released years ago, unfortunately it was for Windows and is no longer supported. I thought this would help me to bring my tree up to date and allow me to share amongst my family. This app is not very good, it blocks my access to my wife’s family, even though it was me that entered the details. Adding siblings is not straightforward and is not user friendly. Again the idea is good but it is not fit for purpose, perhaps it is for those who have only just started researching their tree, but not for me..Version: 3.5.0

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:).Version: 3.7.1

Best app for family searchI 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..Version: 3.8.2

Really goodThank you so much this has been so helpful.Version: 4.6.7

My AncestersI 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..Version: 3.9.10

My filesI use this program almost everyday!.Version: 4.7.4

Great Way to learn about your FamilyI’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..Version: 3.8.3

Record now not found?Found my grandparents marriage record last year and now searching under either or both names, nothing comes up. Really don’t understand why?.Version: 3.9.4

Very good but better with oversight for securityMistakes 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..Version: 4.6.5

Incorrect record by someone or systemI 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 ..Version: 4.0.0

Praising Family SearchThanks 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..Version: 3.5.5

The human mortal family is all linkedSo many family history programs have people doing there own work and not sharing . Family tree is all about getting rid of mytreeitus , awesome.Version: 3.2.0

WorkabilityI 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!.Version: 4.5.7

Family treeAmazing to learn of my heritage. So many heroes each and every one! ❤️.Version: 4.6.5

Like the information, dislike being deleted from the listI love using this resource, but just logged in for the first time in a while and discovered I had been removed from all my family. This was distressing, though I have family members who were able to reconnect me with the necessary information. I also learned that others have been similarly disconnected from their families. Is it a glitch? It’s unpleasant, but my only complaint about this app..Version: 4.7.4

Who would've thought?That I had such a diverse bloodline? Fascinating linkages that makes the world much smaller!.Version: 2.16.0

Relatives around meAmazing a person from America is visiting NZ when I said I use Family Tree App and go as far back as Year 116 it’s amazing. He said have you used the scan relatives around me I said No didn’t know about that feature so he showed me what do and viola we amazingly came up as 14th cousins via a Scottish connection from my fathers side and his Mother’s side … so awesome you just never know sometimes when you are talking to someone you just click with and get along with pays to scan for relatives as you just might find that you are related like I was 🙂.Version: 4.7.8

Best free family tree app/siteEverything about this is great but struggling to find how to share with other family members so they can add their own memories and information.Version: 3.5.5

Attempting to establish accurate Davidic lineageI 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??!.Version: 4.3.0

Famous peopleWow , 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 🙋‍♀️.Version: 4.6.5

Could be easier to use...I don't know whether it's just me but I find this site so frustrating to use. Simple tasks, such as the inputting of information, can be quite a tiresome process. Linking information is a not at all easy and often confusing, especially as you are left to work it all out by yourself rather than getting any tutorials or hints even. However having said that I have made better progress, further back in my family history, than on other well known sites..Version: 2.21.1

An excellent app!!!I quite enjoy the additional activities and the growing community supported by this app. It is an excellent way to show interest in where you came from. For family history researchers, big and small, young and old, new or experienced, I strongly suggest this useful app. On the other side, I would suggest making the additional activities more noticeable, as younger researchers or casual users will normally take interest in these activities first. Again, DOWNLOAD THIS APP if you would like to keep track of your family tree, or learn more about your family..Version: 4.8.5

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..Version: 3.6.9

Mr. Walter AlvarezFascinated 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!.Version: 4.4.7

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☺️.Version: 4.4.3

Holly R. Olmstead review of family SearchI 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..Version: 4.5.7

My FamilyWhat a great way to discover your family..Version: 3.8.8

Improved location specificityThank 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!.Version: 3.9.1

GenealogyI 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. What more can I say my p blessing said I would do genealogy and it’s my favorite pastime and I love putting families together, one of my sons has even taken an interest, your program just keeps getting easier to use. Love love it.Version: 4.7.7

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!!!.Version: 4.7.1

RecommendationIt would be really cool if when searching for someone we could see the connection between the ancestor and the searcher..Version: 3.8.4

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..Version: 3.7.1

Family searchI love the Memories section which is very useful in learning about individuals. However I always do my own research to verify any new information as there are many people who make spurious family connections..Version: 3.8.3

Family TreeI 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..Version: 4.7.5

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!.Version: 3.5.3

Fabulous siteThank you so much for such an interesting past time, quite easy to search around for the older ones among us. It’s great in as much as times are extremely difficult around the world at present, expensive too so this site gives you the opportunity to spend time keeping you occupied, wrapped up on the sofa to keep warm, using the grey matter, learning about your ancestors…. It’s amazing. It’s very appreciated that you can supply such a lovely site with no restrictions and such help offered. Long May it remain. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible for the less abled in many ways. God bless you all..Version: 4.6.7

The Colorado are too much!The new update changes the colours of the person icons from a pleasant grey/white to a confetti festival of pink and blue. This is too ostentatious and the entire UX now looks like a bowl of bright Easter jelly beans. Who thought this was an improvement? Please add an option in settings to put the subdued colours back. The pink/blue accent lines were perfect..Version: 3.9.3

The Family TreeA great project, but spoilt by people altering my tree. 90% of which are incorrect, just the same as the trees on Ancestry. I am very disappointed as i had high hopes of your tree being a good one to follow. I have emailed some of the people who have changed information on my lines, but have had no reply. Consequently i rarely look at your tree. Anne Sharples.Version: 4.4.4

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..Version: 4.5.7

Brilliant App For Family History ResearchI’ve been tracing my family tree for 6 months now and have to say that this app has been invaluable. To get the information I have found for free has saved me money also. Brilliant.Version: 3.1.11

User friendlyI 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!.Version: 3.9.6

JillianI would like to be able to use as a spreadsheet, however doesn’t seem to be an option! Is this possible?.Version: 4.7.0

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!.Version: 4.6.2

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!.Version: 3.1.3

Family tree websiteAmazing site. I tried years ago to research my family tree but it was so difficult to do. I also couldn’t afford the site fees. A few weeks ago my granddaughter was asked to draw up her family tree for school homework. I logged onto your site and we couldn’t believe it! We found it so easy and the family so pleased to see the results. Thank you.Version: 4.1.0

Family TreeI 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!.Version: 4.6.7

ReviewWorks ok but in need of navigation upgrade to do with searching for individuals. Also too many duplicates to fix. In New Zealand auto connection to NZBDM desirable to verify names Not enough historical information on Maori or their ancestors available through FSwiki.Version: 4.3.0

Love Family Search butHave 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..Version: 3.9.3

Family treeFamily tree, Sorry but I am finding instructions hard to understand, possibly because of my age. However I manage online shopping etc, so possibly not. Margaret Larsen née Gunn. I tried to show that my father, Charles Nevynne Gunn was married twice, once in1911 to Margaret Miriam Strongman, until her death in1929. He later married my mother, DorisAgnes Strongman in1932. I seem to have muddled things up and would be grateful if you can put things right please. Margaret Larsen, née Gunn..Version: 3.6.2

Great app excellent to make contact with our family historyThanks for the great app.Version: 4.1.2

Family History has Changed My LifeThis has been a real blessing to me and my family. I have waited 30 years to be able to do this work and I am so grateful. The gospel is real and I am looking forward to meeting my extended family beyond the veil. Thank you to all those who have worked tirelessly to improve the researching experience. Family history is amazing!!.Version: 3.8.7

Our RelativesI 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!.Version: 4.1.1

A Great Incentive to Pursue Family HistoryI 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!.Version: 3.3.5

Really great appIt can be a bit complicated to use but I love the fact that there’s so much information on here that’s 100% free.Version: 4.3.0

MyfamilyI 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.Version: 3.9.2

Great Help.Have used this web sight a few times in particular today found exactly what I was looking for many thanks to the people who have been & are collerating the information..Version: 4.4.5

Great appI 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!.Version: 3.1.2

Accuracy and cooperationExcellent opportunities to view primary sources free of charge and cooperate with others in compiling accurate family trees. Those taking part are asked to provide sources for the relationships and details they add. As far as possible, the app discourages multiple entries on the Tree for the same person and provides ways to merge them. Contributors can contact each other and if they agree share details of their family connection..Version: 3.8.3

Totally recommend.So good, even if you aren’t a member of the LDS church. It’s so easy to use, very accessible. Love that you can add photos and memories..Version: 4.1.0

Review of family treeGreat 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..Version: 4.6.5

Ease of useI do find this application awkward to use...it is frustrating that it does not return to where I left off on a previous visit. There is no link between messages of new information on an ancestor and the app. So you spend ages going through the tree. Duplicates are not always found and sometimes incorrect information is entered by a third party..Version: 4.5.7

Great source of knowledge into family historyWhat an interesting insight into my relatives. Found out information that I’d never dream I could find elsewhere. Found some interesting and famous names going back just a few generations. Brilliant. Thank you..Version: 4.4.3

Slow StartA problem getting started but in four hours the site has added a body of information on three generation. Impressive..Version: 3.9.9

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. ❤️.Version: 4.7.0

Love it but there are some flawsThe 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..Version: 3.8.4

Finding unknown ancestorsIt is easy to find known registered ancestors on known family trees, but when unknown ancestors have not been officially registered it is almost impossible to find out any possible way to find out any link to any ancestors who had a mothers surname. Is there any link to unknown ancestors who went abroad or arrived here from abroad?.Version: 4.6.2

Very convenientI 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..Version: 4.6.5

BrilliantI’ve got and put a lot of information from this wonderful site. It’s worth giving it a try. Although I am still finding my way round it. Love it..Version: 3.21.0

The reason ‘apps’ exist is for this collaborative effort to connect everyoneAll 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..Version: 4.5.7

ExcellentLove the new updates and the speed in which I can get work done. Thank for all your support!.Version: 4.6.5

Great app, but review process needs changesWe are frequently offered suggestions for possible duplicates or possible relatives on a very tenuous basis, e.g. same name, little or no event, date, or location detail. We are then asked to accept or reject. When I have birth place and date information and names of spouse and children etc I am not about to agree to a match or duplicate resolution with a name only. But not everyone is as cautious as me. I am powerless to stop someone else in a cavalier fashion undermining my established relationship links by making an unsubstantiated claim. I remember once finding that my deceased father had been delinked (unsealed) from my deceased mother by someone’s ill-advised intervention. More needs to be done to restrict access to such meddling and to protect well established data and such sacred ordinances..Version: 3.3.6

Very good, just needs more records from the CaribbeanThis has helped me trace several of my ancestors back to the 1830s. A feat I never thought possible. My only wish is that they work with local record keepers in the Caribbean to get more census, birth, marriage and death certificates digitized to help us find our relations..Version: 4.7.7

It used to be awesomeBut it’s stopped working. It either stays frozen or forever spinning its wheels..Version: 4.8.4

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)..Version: 3.6.9

Best APP everSo easy to use..Version: 3.4.0

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!.Version: 4.6.13

Brilliant Family History AppBrilliant platform for storing and collaborating your family history. It's been around for a longtime, is completely free and so worth using. Thank you Family Search.Version: 4.4.3

Love this appI’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..Version: 4.5.7

Crazy how fast you can learn your ancestryMy 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..Version: 3.1.8

Helped track my historyI 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..Version: 4.6.10

Creating an extended family treeI 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.Version: 4.4.4

Impressive archiveI 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..Version: 3.9.2

WowSo 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.Version: 4.6.7

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!.Version: 4.6.2

Preferred parents not recognisedI was enjoying this app until I came across an ancestor with multiple parents. I went to the help and it said that if I set one set of parents as preferred then they would appear in the family tree. Unfortunately this did not happen and the first set in the list continued to be displayed. Am I doing something wrong?.Version: 3.7.1

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..Version: 4.1.3

Living relativesI have Roots Magic for living relatives. Do you still recommend that we do not enter their names on FSEARCH? Can we have my children access my memories?.Version: 4.7.8

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!.Version: 4.6.10

ConsiderationsI 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..Version: 4.5.7

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..

Family Seach ActivitiesFamily 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..Version: 3.9.6

AmazedI have been using various tools to build my family tree. I stared using this recently and found it to be fantastic. The amount of records and information found so far is great. Most amazingly its free of charge. I have been paying annually to have access to information and here I was able yo find it seeming less and free. The other app do have more functionalities such as smart searches and discoveries to link with records and other trees for insights into the past. Also the DNA options are available which allows for better in-depth searches. I would love the option to see some of these options come up here. I don’t mind paying for additional features as long as the access to the extensive database continues to be available. One feature yet to see in any of the platforms, is the possibility to request for images to be taken of certain specific records from within the platforms. At present I have to plan to visit certain locations to take such images my self for the records without images or not in the database. Great job guys. Thanks for this and keep it up. Try to minimise its brand commercialisation. The fact that access to a large record database is free is attractive enough with word of mouth being passed around and that could make it the one of the best platforms..Version: 3.9.6

Better with TimeI 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..Version: 4.5.7

Like this app a lot, but it could be improvedGreat 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..Version: 3.1.11

Language changed since updateFir some reason the app has changed into a language which isn’t on my iPhone settings. As a user of the app I understand what it means but it’s annoying not having it written in the correct languages.Version: 3.9.12

EasySo easy so good.Version: 4.6.7

Family History made easyThankyou for this wonderful app. I love being able to research about my ancestors, and I regularly get information about ancestors I never knew existed..Version: 3.10.0

ServiceI love the fact we can chat with cousins that we never knew of I so appreciate this !!! Carolyn Mytrunec.Version: 4.7.5

FamilySearchThe 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..Version: 4.5.7

Ancestries on the goThe 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..Version: 4.4.5

Family History rules.I love how you can do your own family history and find links to other people’s family..Version: 4.6.6

DeteriorateThis program has gone from bad to worse over recent years, I have lost faith in the processes involved, have highlighted glaring errors with no response, come back personal ancestral file all is forgiven.Version: 3.21.0

Their are Angel's in our FamilyThis 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..Version: 3.1.10

Middleton tree.Found the site interesting and at times frustrating but, overall hints and records are fine. I have found family members on the site directed to the wrong spouses..Version: 4.8.6

I just love it!A great resource that I can easily use to research my family history!.Version: 4.7.5

It has become a revelationI must confess that at first it didn’t convinced me and for quiet sometime i would occasionally pop in. However I was facing a great deal of difficulties to follow up my maternal side of the family and I kept coming back. One day I went through some brief directions on how too and its huge potential started to show up, time after timel. The most spectacular side of it is that shows you the evidence, documents to prove the links to your ancestry which keep on opening new doors and ramifications in your extended origins… I truly recommend this app to any person that is into genealogy…..Version: 4.6.5

Love the familysearch app!Loving the Familysearch App! I may be 62 but it’s easy to use and quite addictive just as Elder Renlund says! I even love the games and activities but the best part for me is the way it makes it easier to take my ancestors to the Temple. I live seven hours away from our nearest temple in Preston, England, so it’s hard to visit often but I can still share names with the temple from my app..Version: 3.5.1

My familyI did family history research many years ago. However I’ve just found this app and it’s triggered me to get back into genealogy once more..Version: 4.7.8

UnknownIt is a little confusing, but once you know how to use it it’s a breeze. Love learning about my ancestors!!!.Version: 4.1.1

Family tiesI 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..Version: 4.6.7

Family SearchFantastic free and accurate source of gathering your family history together, their records are accurate because they are the people who went round with teams of photographers taking photographs of all the birth, marriage and death certificates, census forms, army draft papers ect, they hold all these records on microfilm in air conditioned buildings built deep under granite rock in Salt Lake City. They provided all the information that you find on paid for sites. This will always be a Free service as it is funded by the members of the church who’s property it is..Version: 3.4.1

How helpful this app isThis 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.Version: 3.6.9

Great hobbyLove the collaboration that this site allows!.Version: 4.6.5

One Gigantic FamilyI’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!.Version: 4.4.5

Warwick J WilsonFamily Search seems to be improving all the time. I really appreciate that. I also enjoy the ‘Monday Morning’ notifications and reminders..Version: 4.4.5

Family treeIt never ceases to amaze me with its capabilities and online training videos from many different sources and individuals.Version: 4.7.5

Easy AccessHaving the phone App is a quick and easy way to do my family history and I really enjoy the features available ..Version: 3.2.1

RelationshipIs there any way that you can make it possible to Copy the relationship on anyone you find that is related . In relationship can you make the font larger so you can read the relation to me up top it would make it easier on the iPhone! Why is it that my famous relatives are only posted for a short period of time?? Will AI be used soon on helping Researching one’s family and relatives with the latest in technology? Why is it you can only add so many researchers contacts to chat to?? When you find relatives records abroad why can’t they be read as you can with records from the States?? Why can you only see up to the 13th Great Grandparents?? What’s involved in taking your family history and genealogy and relatives and pictures and records and published in a hard back book and if you need so many what is the cost per book and do you put the book together as a completed products? Just curious some time in the future I would be interested in having so many published as heirlooms for my family?? Will you be able to colorize and repair old black and white pictures in the near future by familysearch?? Thank you for taking my questions in consideration in order to enhance familysearch asap!! Yours truly, Hugh Fawcett..Version: 4.7.8

DelightedAbsolutely delighted with making all these connections with cousins on Family Search through Roots Tech 2024…great job everyone ! Back to twelve generations on some lines AND full names and dates and stories! Love it!.Version: 4.8.5

Thank youBefor today I didn’t know anything about my grandpa side of the family and now I do so thank you very much for createing this app.Version: 3.8.7

Thank youI 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.Version: 3.9.22

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!.Version: 4.6.10

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!.Version: 3.1.12

Referente a repeticiónGracias 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.Version: 4.6.5

Needs improvementI’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..Version: 3.10.0

Ken MarshLove 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..Version: 4.2.0
