Indexing is a part of the Latter Day Saints religious journey. The last time my auntie volunteered for a mission she worked one year helping to index WWII military records. She had done several other missions; one really big one was the Ellis Island project she worked over one year. She was a devote member of the faith. She was also a WWII Army Nurse RIP 💖

I found the video to be most enlightening. I find Connie to be the easiest to understand of all KZread Genealogy sights. I have used FamilySearch many times and did not know the wealth of information. I also belong to the other sights and I utilize them all.

I started indexing after finding my first family record on Family Search. It is great practice but it's also very rewarding. It's a fantastic feeling when you read thank you messages from people who have found a family member from one of your projects. I would highly recommend it. All of these records are provided to us for free, giving back a little is the least we can do. You can pick and choose projects according to language, location and your confidence level. If you open a project that you can't manage to index you can simply put it back and choose another. Much love from Scotland. x 😊

Familysearch is one of my favorite sources, but I think it's wrong to allow one person to alter or delete someone else's research. Ownership aside, research results and research notes are used for future investigations. It provides a means to avoid duplicating arduous research. If I need to keep duplicate records and notes to keep them in tact - well, it defeats the purpose of keeping them on familysearch.

I don’t like that aspect of Family Search either. It doesn’t happen to me that often because for whatever reason, my family seems to fly under the radar and I seldom find anyone who’s related to them. I was in WikiTree for a while and I never once got a hint on my family from anyone so I closed my account there. A few people have connected to my tree in Family Search. If they’ve made “corrections”, I usually don’t bother contesting them unless the corrections are egregiously wrong.

Hi I am interested in Chinese in America, not my family but Chinese in historical sense--famous Chinese persons--their entry records etc. I first started with National Archives and Records Administration(NARA)'s website, now moving on to Familysearch.org, would go to Ancestry should it be free to use. Anyway, I've been having this question ever since I searched on NARA and Familysearch: what's the relationship among NARA, Ancestry and Familysearch? A lot of images on NARA's webpages have a subtitle line--Image provided by Ancestry/Familysearch. When you go to say, Familysearch.org and look at their Passenger list series, almost all are made by NARA. I am confused. First of all, where are these records physically stored? I mean the original records on paper? Are they at NARA or are they with Ancestry/Familysearch? Why NARA had to claim Ancestry/Familysearch as image provider? Thank you！

the problem is when one does not do their research, and there are errors, those are still shared.. so basically the tree is wrong and erroneous. This was exactly what happened to me, my ancestor was adopted so his date of birth is not available but he is connected to the person who adopted him. the genealogy line should therefore be stopped but it continues with the adopters as if he was the blood relatives. Too much errors not enough verifications.

I try to focus on doing the best I can do. Also, I write in my research notes the resolutions to the conflicts so others can find it. Hopefully that will help. Life is too short to try and fix others mistakes.

My wife was adopted out at birth in Australia, does Family search go into adoption and how big are the files for Australian and English records, Wim Baas Ps it took her 6years to find her natural parents.

If she knows her biological parents she can look them up on family search, ancestry, my heritage, find my past, wikitree, etc. There are several places she can look and all of them will have various depth to their trees.

I have added sources and they get removed. Why does source information disappear?

Try looking at the history of who is changing it.

@Genealogy TV OK thanks.

The time line can be copied by using the snip it tool at least on PC and then Pasted to where you want. Always giving credit to the source where you found the time line….

As far as the library in SLC goes, one of the main reaon to go there isnt for the physical films and books but for specific foreign research. My son in law's father is part Portuguese, Hawaiian, Japanese and Chinese. Even if he had the records, he couldnt read them. The library has people that can!

I think I need a tutor to understand this site. I started a tree but cannot correct entries, finally gave up. Sent a gedcom file to FHL. I think it is there somewhere, have no idea where but it seems the data is there. I am totally confused. I have been working on genealogy for more than 30 years and really miss the films.
