Thank you! I thought I’d lost my mind when I accessed my FS acct after so many years. It was completely decimated and undone and full of non family members. Thx to your video I now have an explanation as to what happened.
I only use Family Search to check records. I had a nice tree and someone went in and messed it all up. I was so mad. Anyway, this is a good tip for new folks using that website.
That is so annoying. Have you tried Wikitree? It's a little more robust - you can see some of my thoughts on it, as compared to Family Search, here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHmPOsBF35o.html - hope it helps.
Fortunately, I had concerns about the free for all on FS and focused on Ancestry after only making a few entries. Just as well that I did because a couple of weeks ago someone added my grandfather then, when they realised he was already there, merged the two records, keeping all of their info and losing all of mine, including his photo. I can't be bothered to undo it. I just use FS for its records and record the citation in my Ancestry tree.
