We're in the same boat. Just under the Family Search heading there is a small link to "Trees" and I clicked on that and then searched for a tree with some of my ancestry in it. About then my wife told me it was time to go somewhere so I dropped that. Later I thought of searching with different family members but haven't tried that yet. Then I'll do more work to see how I can upload my tree without joining the Latter Day Saints. I have benefitted from finding other trees but in EVERY case I find errors and this makes the rest of what I find suspect. Some of the errors may be typos but who knows? In one tree just this week a man's death was listed as 1922 but then I have his wife's death certificate from 1923 and he was the informant. So I did a little digging on just that one individual and found he died on the same date as in the tree but in 1942. Oh well, back to digging...

I'm signed up for new.FamilySearch and have a tree there but this is the first hint I've had that there was such a thing as Family Tree. I'm not LDS, but I don't exactly live under a rock, so how did I miss discussion on this new site and how do I get on board?

I immediately clicked on the link to see what was available in Family Search trees. None of my tree was there so next thing is figure out how to submit my tree and then kick back and see who adds to it. I have found a lot of info in other trees on Ancestry that I would not have found through traditional search paths. When a daughter marries and changes her surname she can get difficult to find. The extended family is still related so perhaps they are happy to hear of me. Gale Gorman Houston On Jul 14, 2012, at 9:37 AM, BARTON LEWIS wrote: Sorry, I don't agree. This is a genealogy related question and Kirsten is fully within bounds posting it here.
