Michele, regarding FamilySearch Family Tree, I really like how you can enter sources now and even URL's for sources. And FS FT is soooo much easier to edit than nfS. You just click on the pencil in front of the item and make the change. And you can change things that others have submitted so you can get it correct without all the rigamarole (sp?) from nFS. I think it's a great step forward. The legacy problems will be taken care of when they make the final switchover since only what's in the Summary in nFS will be carried over. As I understand it the old AF, PRF, etc., will be available in the Trees part of FS, but won't be in FS FT unless it was in the Summary. Then we can correct what needs correcting without having a hundred wrong copies of stuff in there. There are obviously many more things that remain to be done, but I'm really pleased with what they've got done so far. BTW, you can't see sources in nFS at all now. It directs you to FS FT. Anyone with an LDS Account can sign up to get to FS FT now. Don Snow On 3/29/2012 10:30 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Does anyone else find the tree version to be annoying?

I guess I don't see and appreciate all these "wonderful" improvements? I am with Michele. Steve Kelsey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald R.

Have you tried adding a source and/or a URL to document the data? Or link to a photo or to an image of the document? Or have you tried editing in FSFT? Or just navigating around in the database? I used to be with Michele, but I'm not anymore. But not everyone likes things the way I do, so use what works for you.
