Family Tree Now Available to New.familySearch.org Users

A November 16th posting on the FamilySearch Blog tells us that the Family Tree is now available to users of New.familysearch.org. You can read the details here.

Learning "Family Tree"

Since New. famillySearch.org has migrated to FamilySearch.org and changed its identity to "FamilyTree", we have an opportunity to learn more techniques about using it. 
To learn how edit relationships go to familysearch.org/tree-training, log in and go down to the bottom of the page to the webinars and view the one on editing relationships. The other webinars are also excellent, as well as the videos and documents that are available.

Resources for FamilySearch Family Tree

Expert Genealogist James Tanner has written an excellent article at his blog 'Genealogy's Star' about the wonderful resources available to help us learn Family Tree at this link. We're grateful to James for making this list available to us.

Family Tree Instructions

My genealogy friend Larry Cragun has written a good post on his blog that gives links to current training by Family Search for the Family Tree. You can find it here. 

Family Editing Possible at Family Tree

Big News Family Editing Comes to FamilySearch Family Tree

FamilySearch is a moving target. No matter what you knew about it yesterday, you need to look at it today to see what is going on. Here is a summary of the (one of the) different parts of FamilySearch and the latest news:

Family Tree is part of the biggest change being made to the FamilySearch.org website. Good news and waiting. Family Tree is the replacement forNew.FamilySearch.org.  There are a series of incremental changes going on nearly constantly. For example, today I found that marriage dates can be edited or deleted. Family relationships can also be edited, such as biological, adopted, step etc. You can also change the parents of a child. You can also add a source directly to a marriage and a child relationship. In short, all of the incorrect family relationships in New.FamilySearch.org can now be edited in Family Tree.

You can also add people to the database. I hope you realize how big this really is!!! 

Get to work and correct your family!
