At Tuesday's workshop there were several questions about Family Search and registering on its site. Our recommendation is to register as a member (free) and remember your user name and password for future reference. I believe the advantage to using Family Search in this manner is when a result appears that is linked to a partner of Family Search, you will be allowed to see that record even when you are not a subscriber to that partner's website. If someone has had that experience, we would like to hear about it.
Clarification: it seems that someone can access a subscription site only when using family search at a family history center--unless, of course, you have your own subscription.
For example, if you find a result for the 1930 U. S. census the following three options are available if you elect to see the actual record.
