Talk:Genealogy/FamilySearch

This page looks like spam - furthermore, there seems to be no point in including this resource as opposed to the thousands of other ones. If there is some reason, it needs to be made clear. This isn't a place to advertise your favourite one. &mdash; mikelifeguard@enwikibooks:&#126;$ 17:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, as the creator, I'm sorry if it comes off looking like spam. That wasn't my intention at all, and I despise spam. It's not even my favourite family tree website by far (and I do quite a lot of online genealogy). I was merely trying to dip my toes into Wikibooks, so to speak, and saw this page Genealogy, which had some red links, so I picked one and wrote something about it. I'm still getting used to the way Wikibooks works - I'm far more used to Wikipedia - so if this kind of page is unacceptable here, then that's fine. I was just trying to add some useful content.


 * If there is some way I could improve it, then I would appreciate suggestions. I realise it's only a positive portrayal of the website, but really, it's a useful website. That's all. Would it be better to not have any web-related content in this particular book? Over the past decade or so, the internet has become a huge part of genealogy and family history, with many people coming new to the hobby who only do it online. I would think it would be useful to have descriptions of valuable websites. FamilySearch, (like I said, not my particular favourite) is a well-known and popular one. Like I say, I'm fairly new to Wikibooks and don't want to unwittingly contravene guidelines. Just trying to help out.--Belovedfreak (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
