This was promoted and supported by FamilySearch. However, in 2018, the FamilySearch Terms of Use were updated as follows:

To comply with the updated FamilySearch Terms of Use, we will no longer be able to support this service. As of January 1, 2020, we will permanently delete all Wiki pages listing Professional Researcher information. We will continue to have a page called, [[Hiring a Professional Researcher|''Hiring a Professional Genealogist,'']] listing contact information for credential organizations and organizations supporting professional genealogists.<br>
