Find A record is wonderful. It works with FamilySearch information and helps get all the little errors corrected, all the repeated information that's not needed cleared out, Tasks that are overlooked are discovered through Find A Record, I sure wish it was still connected with FamilySearch. I used it daily.

I love this thing. Helps identify tasks to be done on the family tree almost effortlessly. I have used it a lot. Please find a way to keep making it available to use with family search tied in with ordinances with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
