Help Central
This page provides an entry point to the Help Central project which is designed to quickly direct users toward finding the answers to their questions by themselves (questions cannot be posted here). If you cannot find the answers, you should contact GetSatisfaction or your local support group.

The project objectives:
Help Central: interface is currently only designed for users of FamilySearch Family Tree.

This wiki article’s primary objective is to provide a portal to help beginners and expert trainers to rapidly find answers to Family Tree related questions and to continually accumulate new links to more and more answers.

The objective of the Help Central system is to offer a means of easily finding answers by providing a simple means of navigation in combination with a centralized location where information is collected.

A secondary objective is to generate an individual web address for each of the keyword pages to assist in a method of information retrieval and for possible inclusion into or access by outside programs.

The another objective (continual growth) is to provide and inprove upon the system to make it is easier to update and maintain the information contained herein and to expand, as warranted,  into other projects beyond this Family Tree example.

Notes to users:
This is a "work in progress" and it may take a little time before it is fully functional.

Your feedback is also welcome concerning ease of use, any corrections to the information, the location of missing data, and if you have a "question/answer" that should be added to the system.

If you cannot find an answer (or the location of the answer), then you may want to address your question to the FamilySearch GetSatisfaction website which is a community based platform used to provide feedback from and for users.

After finding an answer that is not already included here, it would be appreciated if the location of that answer was added to this wiki so others could benefit from your findings.

If you do not wish to do any actual editing of the wiki page, please post your question &amp; answer (plus the new link) on the Talk page above where it can be reviewed. Just click on the Talk icon at the top of this page, click the edit button near the top, enter you comment toward the bottom of the edit section, and then click the Save button at the bottom.

If you find a link that is no longer working and do not wish to correct it yourself please make a note in the Talk page so the problem can be investigated.

If you come across any material that is of an obscene or inappropriate nature it must be reported so it can be corrected or deleted as soon as possible (advertisements or the addition of personal information are also inappropriate).

This is an ongoing “work in progress” so please be patient while more links are being provided. If you have knowledge of a website link that is useful, please add that information so others can access the information and this site can grow to become the central interface for connecting the right links (answers) to the questions.

Again, if you don’t want to edit the site by yourself, please use the Talk page or contact someone who is comforatable with this procedure.

Notes to contributors:
This project has only recently completed the page construction phase but has not been populated with links to the location of the answers. This is a request to contributors who would be willing to assist in identifying and adding those links so this project can be fully utilized.

Feel free to discuss changes and improvements and since no formal format for writing up definitions or descriptions has been determined feel free to experiment until a concensus is reached on the style format.

Please include a reference date (how old the source is) when adding links for items like a video or a paper and when referenceing the user manual be sure to enter the publication date.
