Last night we explored the FamilySearch website. (www.familysearch.org) This was not a first visit, but there were a few new options to view.
One suggestion is to use the search box on the opening page before you sign in! It is called "start discovering your family story." Enter an ancestor's name, a location and a date and see what FamilySearch finds. It will be divided into four parts: Family Tree profiles, historical records located on FamilySearch, memories (photos of the person) and last name information.
We also reviewed the research help section--found through the site map at the bottom of the home page. The Family History Library continues to provide a way to sign up for 20-40 minute consultations to assist researchers with a genealogy problem.
We took a quick look at the choices under the "search" tab but mainly concentrated on the Family Tree section of the website. We advise using this website for your tree, especially if you do not have your own genealogy software. We looked at all parts of the Family Tree home page and then used one particular ancestor to demonstrate all facets of the tree, including adding sources and fixing a duplicate.
