Only a small thing, I know, but the website is puzzilla.org and not puzilla.org.

It's great to see the exploding family history industry and all the various products and tools that are being used to document this. Documenting your family history and tracing roots has really come to the forefront of the general public. While there are a number of sites that help you research your family, there aren't as many sites/apps that help "tell" your family story digitally or otherwise. Thanks for pointing out some of the newer innovations in this respect. One site that was left out that we've been using to share and document family history is https://crestleaf.com. Not only can you create your own personal history, you can invite family members to collaborate and add to the story. It's been a fun way to engage with family members and build out the entire family story. Looking forward to seeing many more innovations in this industry

I am a Family History Director. I invite people to come in to the center and look for a World War I draft registration for an ancestor. When they walk our with a copy of their father's, grandfather's, or other male family member's draft registration they are always smiling. One person who did this just yesterday said, "That's my grandmother's handwriting!" This made the record very personal to her.
Yes, family history can be fun. :)

All of my uncles family history information is in ancestory.com. Is there an easy way to convert it to FamilySearch?
Thank you for your consideration.
