The FamilySearch Family Tree (FSFT) keeps getting better and better. If you are a family history consultant or serve in a FHC you should find this site helpful. FSFamilyTreeUserGroup.com
It contains some very good lesson material prepared by people that I consider experts.
A word of caution: The site sometimes has a problem with the registration process. It may bring up a screen that asks you to invite all of your email contacts to join this group. If it happens, do not allow it to do so! There should be a link that allows you to decline this offer. If you cannot find this link, close the page.
I believe you can use the material without registering. If so, that would be a good option.
Note that this is not an official FamilySearch site but is operated by people who have a strong background in FamilySearch. They have some valuable cautions about common mistakes made when using FSFT and suggestions for avoiding these mistakes. They come across as quite strong on avoiding doing ordinances for duplicate records, which I appreciate. I like the comparison "Doing ordinances for someone whose ordinances are already done, is like ignoring the pioneers stranded out on the plains and rushing to rescue those who are already safely in the valley."
Get Help on FamilySearch.org also contains good material, but check out FSFamilyTreeUserGroup.com too.
Thank you. We appreciate your support and patience as we learn how to do our own blog.
