One purpose of FamilySearch Wiki is to help patrons find the records of their ancestors. The wiki already has tens of thousands of links to digitized records that require an access fee. Linking to professional researchers that can provide the same records is no more commercial, and gives the patron one more way to access his ancestors' records. To learn more about why FamilySearch is doing this project, please visit the [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:WikiProject Professional Genealogists|discussion page]].
