Looking for Family Search thread

[Hazel W]

Some months ago, we had a thread about opening an account at Family Search. I have searched for "Family Search" but it does not come up. Is it available? Thank you.

Did you mean the genealogical research website run by the Mormon church ? It is at

https://www.familysearch.org/en/

You create a free account and then can search their extensive records.

Yes and actually it is at the LDS site. Just a slight difference I think but not sure. And I did find it.



I wanted to find this thread again to post something I learned. I was having trouble opening an account because every time I tried to confirm, it said password was wrong. After some months I tried again with the same results. I finally gave up and sent them an email about the issue. About an hour later a fine gentleman called me. I am trying to remember his exact title but it was something like genealogy missionary.



This man dove right in and tried setting up an account with my same information and he got the same results I was getting (quote) "wrong". After some studying and working while I just listened to him talk to himself, he had it. "The computer just does not like your password." He assured me that there was nothing wrong with the password and said he runs into this occasionally where a computer simply rejects a password and only thing to do is change that. We did. I am now in and all is well.



I wanted to pass that on just in case anyone else ever runs into such. And add those. Those genealogy missionaries are the best. Patience of Job. He even went further and created the start of my tree. What more can we ask? There really was a "more". Someone had already transferred my tree from another site to this one. Now, all I have to do is learn how to use it.



All have a good day. Hazel W

I believe you're actually looking for the thread you started in genealogy called Shearer / Garriott

The guy who helped you didn't start the Shearer/Garrott tree, part of it was already there when I helped you in the genealogy section. I did the majority of the work on it. Member PA2UK also helped.
Almeda Fern Shearer family search tree

I'm glad to see you finally got on family search to see it after all of the work I put into it.
