BUG REPORT - Ethnicity Nonsense
We have discussed the issue of an assigned ethnicity with no factual basis many times, but I've never seen a staff response. If there has been one, please direct me to it and accept my apologies for missing it. I'll add links to several existing threads, but this is one I saw yesterday that reminded me of the problem,…
ERROR REPORT - Placename algorithm moves Illinois to Zambia
Common sense indicates that a burial record from the Archdiocese of Chicago, Illinois would be in Illinois. Unfortunately, the placename algorithm moves Resurrection RC Cemetery to Zambia. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2HJ-JTDK https://imgur.com/EfcewAD @Ashlee C. please.
Is there any guidance / HELP article on making searches using FIND?
I have long been aware that there are limitations regarding making "Exact" searches using the FIND feature in Family Tree, but wonder if these are outlined anywhere? It must be quite baffling to newcomers to discover the kind of filtered-down searches that can be made at https://www.familysearch.org/search/ are not…

BUG REPORT - Labs page is down again
Edit - 11:51a It's back up. Thanks. The labs page https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/ was working fine yesterday and showed all the experiments. This morning, it's down, showing no experiments again. I would share a screenshot, but I've been advised that is no longer permitted. Could someone please escalate a fix?…
US, Kansas—1885 State Census [MQLR-HCV] not a question-entry type
While indexing I've found more than a few pages with no indication of New Household Id and this box cannot be marked <blank> so I have deduced (not guessed or assumed) that the NHI should be marked Yes when the Surname is written only once with an appropriate (adult) age and marital status because the census takers made…
Reminder for Nats
A few reminders for indexing Nats: Post-1940 Petition will have the record date on the other side of the document. You will index the Affidavit of Witness date as the Petition's record date. This day is preceded by the statement that says, in part, Subscribed and sworn to me before the above-named petition. The AOW date is…
