It's getting out of date, of course, but I think still may have value for those trying to understand the various tools provided by FamilySearch, including some of the more obscure ones.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/bakers84/a-whirlwind-tour-of-family-search-resources-syllabus" rel="nofollow">URL List</a> - For a list of URLs with some brief descriptions<br /><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/bakers84/a-whirlwind-tour-of-family-search-resources-presentation" rel="nofollow">Screenshots</a> - The presentation slides which is mostly screenshots of the URLs in the first linkBennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-88572297044350125432013-12-04T17:51:15.656-07:002013-12-04T17:51:15.656-07:00Maybe I was hoping it was true :-)Maybe I was hoping it was true :-)James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-58224849837621210072013-12-04T08:54:11.131-07:002013-12-04T08:54:11.131-07:00James, you say "During the past few weeks, a ...James, you say "During the past few weeks, a number of bloggers discussed the issue of a sitemap on FamilySearch.org. It is nice to find that FamilySearch.org reads the blogs . . ."<br /><br />Why exactly do you think the addition of a site-map has anything to do with recent blog posts?<br /><br />Absence of a site-map has been an obvious defect for years and was discussed, among other places, in the now-removed FS "Forums" rather a few times as well as in responses to various FS Blog posts, and over the past couple of years on the "getsatisfaction" message boards.<br /><br />Of course there is always room for improvement, but the site-map's appearance a couple of weeks ago was a welcome development. Imagine, no more hiding the wiki! No more hiding how to find FamilyHistoryCenters!Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
