New FamilySearch Family Trees

Enter your tree here

The new FamilySearch Family Tree entry for those of us who do not belong to the LDS Church is now available. I couldn?t help myself ? I had a look to see what I could make of it.

It?s not really intuitive.

For example, have a look at the tree above and tell me what you think I should do next. Where do I put my father? My mother? Where does it explain that if I put living people in (and I wasn?t initially willing to) they won?t show up anywhere? Where does it tell me that they won?t show up anywhere?

The add and search screen are the same, so if you enter someone?s name hoping to add them and then fill in the fields for parents and spouse, you are not adding the parents and spouse, you are just searching for the person with these people connected to him/her, and you have to add them separately. And because the chart shows two people in each box where you would expect to see one, it?s difficult to work out where to put anyone at all.

I?ve added five people so far, including myself, and I can only see three on the tree, so I?m not spending any more time on it.

I have every respect for the work that FamilySearch do, but they really need to find some decent web developers and analysts.
