I am excited about the changes and improvements that are being made to Family Tree. It is part of FamilySearch.org and it will eventually replace New.FamilySearch.org. It will be available for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and also for nonmembers. Members should sign in with their LDS account and then they will have access to LDS Temple information.
Watch this short Introduction to FamilySearch Family Tree video to learn more.
Go to Family Tree Training to learn how to start using the program. The training resources are very comprehensive.
I would advise users of New.FamilySearch.org to make the switch now. Stop using New Family Search. Starting watching the tutorials for Family Tree. And start updating and sourcing the information on your family in Family Tree.

New Family Search Classes at Salt Lake City Family History Library
This week I completed the four-part series of classes on New Family Search at the Family History Libary. Sister Catherine Anderegg is an excellent teacher and I learned a lot. I will not fully know the software until I work with it more. But I feel confident enough now to keep working in it and to start teaching it to others. I hope I can motivate our ward members to sign up and start working in New Family Search as well as in Family Search Indexing.
My opinion of New Family Search is that it is a good thing. There are a lot of problems presently but after the problems are worked out we will have achieved three important things.
1. There will be a mostly accurate, evidence-based database of our ancestors on the Internet.
2. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be able to participate in Family History and perform temple ordinances for their ancestors without having to adopt the expensive time-consuming hobby of being genealogists.
3. Families will be able to learn about their ancestors and they will be able to co-ordinate their research and temple work with extended family members which will bring everyone closer together.

New Family Search
Finally the New Family Search is live for my temple district, the Jordan River Temple District. I registered and signed on last night. I explored a little bit and made my first dispute. I can see the need to be very accurate and very consistent in verifying sources. I hope it will be a good thing and eliminate a lot of duplication of research and temple work.
