Usually I just ignore it and am happy for the records. :)<br /><br />If you don't want to give your data to the LDS church, there's always WikiTree! :)Liannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426150893408223206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-39367422593901804252013-05-07T12:45:37.036-05:002013-05-07T12:45:37.036-05:00Here's the link to the PBS article on the Morm...Here's the link to the PBS article on the Mormons : http://www.pbs.org/mormons/etc/genealogy.htmlLaura Cosgrove Lorenzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794581991087280753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-58322721881491325042013-05-07T12:45:03.545-05:002013-05-07T12:45:03.545-05:00Lianne,

I hope this isn't bounced out but there's a terrific PBS.org page from 2007 that explains the Mormons and why they perform genealogical research and consider genealogical material to be so important. It explains a lot and is important information for researchers outside the LDS church to understand. (I'll send the link in a separate comment, just in case.)<br /><br />For now, I stick with my private tree on Ancestry...Laura Cosgrove Lorenzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794581991087280753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-40013507163241256352013-04-22T10:05:45.747-05:002013-04-22T10:05:45.747-05:00Hi Miles, thanks for your comment.

Now that the site's been revamped, I can see the Photos section, but I still don't see a place where a bio can be added.<br /><br />And I know that a variety of sources can be added on Family Tree. I don't have a problem with that part. I was just referring to how a lot of people are under the impression that Family Tree is somehow more reliable than other collaborative trees because it's "source-based" (I've heard several people use that phrase), but it's just as easy to add unsourced info here as anywhere else.Liannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426150893408223206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-83479678418957169332013-04-19T08:34:54.957-05:002013-04-19T08:34:54.957-05:00Thanks for your article.

I wanted to point out the photos and biographies are stored in their own area (Photos and Stories) which show up when you look at the person data from FamilyTree. Each person can load up to 5,000 photos to their account and link them to their people in the tree. I have also been linking sources from outside FamilySearch, such as Findagrave and local newspapers.Miles Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401553007977737208noreply@blogger.com
