I have used the genealogy website of the Church if the Latter Day Saints many times but I've adopted a kind of love/hate relationship with it.
I love that there is so much information on it. I love that there are dates, pedigrees and family details, and that the searching is free.
I dislike ('hate' is too strong a word for it) that there is a lot of inaccuracy and duplication on it. I also dislike the organisation of the information. I constantly find that I start chasing around in circles when I follow a link to see what additional connections there are to a specific person.
Overall I have found that the LDS website is great for skimming and for finding potential leads in my ancestral research but everything you do must be cross checked with reliable sources before you believe its accuracy.
