FamilySearch operates a [[genealogy]] site that incorporates a large amount of [[WP:UGC|user-generated content]]. Editors see no evidence that FamilySearch performs fact-checking, and believe that the site has a questionable reputation for accuracy. FamilySearch also hosts [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] documents, such as birth certificates, which may be usable in limited situations, as well as a large collection of digitized books, which should be evaluated on their own for reliability. When using primary source documents from FamilySearch, follow [[WP:BLPPRIMARY]] and avoid interpreting them with [[WP:OR|original research]].
