Moderated Re: Another accessible / genealogy web site.

I’ve been using FamilySearch.org for a couple of years and can do fairly well with it. Parts of the site disappear from time to time especially on Sunday afternoons when it is heavily used. Also uses colors, images, and some unlabeled buttons and links. It is pretty easy to use once you learn to watch for the problems and can work around most of them.
One thing I learned is to keep the window maximized at all times. Rather than srinking character sizes they drop some items from the menus in order to keep the same text size. At least that is the way it appears to me.
I will try the other site some more to see why I had a different experience.
Thanks
Tony

I've given you the WikiTree.com site.
Another accessible source is the Mormon's FamilySearch Engine.
There is no need to register. You get basic information when you enter first & last names, birth & death locations and year (a range).
You should get a page with the title: Historical documents we found for xx — FamilySearch.org
Navigate to the heading: Top people we found for xx in the shared Family Tree
For each record found will be listed the information asked for and perhaps the spouse and parents.
If you toggle for more information on that individual, you will need to create a Familysearch account or sign in (no charge).
Researching distant family relations is a way to fill in my stay at home time.
