   There is a third part of FamilySearch.  That is the local records.   
   While some of these local records appear in the primary search from   
   FamilySearch.org, the best are usually only found by using the native   
   indexes in the documents themselves.

   Personally most of my work is with the local records, I very rarely do   
   searches from primary FamilySearch page, and almost never use the trees.
