I love FamilySearch and the FamilySearch library. What a great presentation!
Thank you so much for the additional information. Sometimes those of us who have searched for years need some new tools.
Thanks so much, I have been using this a lot of years, but tend to get into a search habit. This is now going to change the way I search
THANK YOU. This will be a big help to get me going.
Thank you! Can't wait to get going

An answer for one of the women at church with relatives from Ireland. Thank you
very helpful
Glad you think so!
Hi, who can I contact someone in IT at FS in regards to the image quality of records on FS? I’ve called in numerous times into your help line, however, despite chatting with some wonderful people answering the helpline, I was never able to speak to someone in your IT department about the blurry view on all the records in the Veneto, Italy collection.
I accidently added a family member to the wrong side of the tree. Having a terrible time trying to delete them off that part of the tree on your website.
Did you find the way to delete them?
tried to follow this , when i reached historical records and searched by country (n ireland) all i could see apart from more tutorials was a blank page
Is there a way to translate foreign material?
Do austria galicia please
Deceo ver, pero en Español, por favor gracias 🇦🇷
Would I could find the same way for Hawaii
I've locked out my family tree on three different research media outlets in order to keep myself safe and protect my reputation. (Some of my relatives are just not moral beings, and that could be quite embarrassing if that got out.) Although, I only have three names on my family tree so far. And I've not checked my family trees in 11 month so things could have changed by now. However, I've had a DNA test, which I've also blocked to everyone but myself... So why am I not getting any responses~?!!!...
Probably because you've either blocked or locked any information on your tree. You have to supply all the information you know, names you know and relationships in order to get any responses or leads. We all have "black sheep" in our family history, that doesn't make you one due to contact or relationship. You either want the information or you don't....in your case, you're too embarrassed to get it.
Who didn't catch that this was me being frustrated and facetious... Sorry...

The girl giving the presentation was very good but for some reason I'm unable to find what I'm looking for. I was completely lost. My father's family is from Germany but I was unable to find information on them :( I love genealogy but I feel like I'm going in circles.
Hi Lisa! We're sorry you're having trouble with your research efforts. If you'd like, FamilySearch offers free research consultations that can help point you in the right direction. You can even specify that you want help specifically with Germany and get help from a Research Specialist at the Family History Library.
There's a RootsTech session all about it here: www.familysearch.org/rootstech/rtc2021/session/free-research-help-from-the-family-history-library-research-strategy-sessions

Hope this helps!
Decia español, y esta en ingles
Josefina, sí, este video es en inglés, pero se puede elegir a usar subtítulos [cc] que son auto-traducido a español. Espero que esta solución sirve.
i would have preferred data that was unknown.
It's not like this anymore. I wish they would go back to this format.
Pena que não teve tradução.
Olá! Em todo o conteúdo da RootsTech vc quando quiser pode ativar a legenda automática em português no canto inferior da tela clicando na engrenagem e selecionando o idioma. Este é um recurso do CZcams que está a sua disposição. Aproveite!
