GSpark Reviews: FamilySearch.org

Sigh... I'm just going to say that my review on Pokemon comes when it comes, though I should have some time over the weekend to get on that. Fortunately, I've got another review related to family history to show everyone!

Remember when I talked about the Family Search Indexing website? Oh yeah, that was last post! Anyway, FamilySearch.org went through a nice change about a year ago: instead of people being forced to navigate to an indexing service, a forum, a blog, a wiki, and other sites aside from the main ancestry-searching tool created about a decade ago, they can now access all of those features on one streamlined Family Search website. Now people can find related Family Search sites much easier because they are now simply features to FamilySearch.org. Maintainers of FamilySearch.org also benefit because they only have to manage one site on one server. Their server's bandwidth can breathe again! Of course, with Family Search being more streamlined, family history work, as a result, has become much easier, so now there's even less of an excuse to not do it!
