If the people have common names, the names may have been merged with another person of the same name in the past, then split out again later or recreated. Sometimes the ordinances are left with the other person and are incorrect. I have submitted requests in the past to FamilySearch, asking them to ...

I disagree with the previous "clod" who thinks that the solution is to "RESERVE THE ORDINANCES to "SHARE with CHURCH. " There have been many occasions when I have found names of people who are my direct line ancestors whose names have been languishing in the "system&quo...

The reason most names are in new FamilySearch is because the temple work has already been done. The idea is to help people see what has been done, so that they can then DO RESEARCH to locate more names outside of new FamilySearch. Ths requires the old fashioned ways of locating people, as well as on...

It seems to me that if you only enter information into nFS about the members of the family for whom you are ready to do ordinance work, and leave out information about the other members of the family, you can submit only those you want to do, and avoid having to remove the others.

Sign on with your new FamilySearch sign-in name and password 3. Click the Search tab (top right) 4. On the t...

Alan I agree with you about the length allowed for disputes. Usually there is a technical reason for a dispute, and it is nearly imossible to put the needed amount of information into the limited space allowed. On the subjecot of sources, if you go to the details screen and click on each event - bir...

I have heard comments like yours that nFS sources are not consistent with how genealogists use the word. Would you explain what you mean by that? My effort to post sources produces the following fields: Source Type Source detail Media type Title Author Publication Information Location Type or Reposi...
