Also one of the reasons why I am a user of and contributor to 
FamilySearch FamilyTree.

I am not LDS myself and don't share many of their beliefs but I have 
found everyone connected with FamilySearch to be helpful and generous 
(and never any attempt to convert).  I am happy to do my bit for them 
and I feel that the more places I put my tree online, the more chances 
there are of me contacting "cousins".
