Remarkably, over 50,000 LDS genealogists have downloaded the manual. I have received over 1,000 emails from: FamilySearch Support Missionaries, who said they were trained on the manual; Family History Center Directors, who are using it to teach nFS at their FHC's; Family History Consultants, who are using it to teach nFS in their wards; and other appreciative users from all over the world (including an incredibly sweet sister in Fiji, whose tender email tugged at my heart strings!).<br /><br />FamilySearch is currently developing Family Tree, a new interface which will replace New FamilySearch at the end of this year. But before you have a heart attack, Family Tree operates on the nFS database, so you won't need to re-enter your data. <br /><br />Family Tree allows you to:<br />1) correct erroneous data submitted by other patrons, and<br />2) link sources into your ancestors' Family Tree records (including documents, photos, and videos you have at home).<br /><br />My manual, which is 48 pages in length, explains how to do these things in an organized, step-by-step method, so you use your time efficiently.<br /><br />Members can start using Family Tree now, and I recommend that knowledgeable users do so.<br /><br />Thanks for getting the word out!<br /><br />George W.
