   Good advuce, but don't forget that there are two parts to FamilySearch.   
   The main menu offers you FamilyTree, where you might well be able to   
   find several generations of a family but much of the information might   
   be submitted by other users without naming Sources, and Search.  The   
   Search button provides another menu which starts with Records.  On the   
   whole, Records are reliable BUT are very often only transcripts of the   
   original documents and transcripts may or may not be accurate.  There   
   are, though, original images for many of the datasets.
