Re: In the Italian province of Udine most birth records display the birthdate as only a year

@ShawnFReid Thank you for your thorough details—they've made my work easier.

Some of my notes:

Both full dates and single year errors appear randomly on the same DGS.
The presence of a full date doesn't always depend on whether Month/Day fields are filled in.
Date parsing is inconsistent, possibly due to date abbreviations in Spanish. Months with identical three-letter beginnings in both languages are more reliably detected and displayed.

I'll share this with engineers to see if the collection can be queued for re-processing.

Re: Helper Resources

I got the same error. I have created an engineering ticket to have this looked into. Sam 🙂

Re: Alphabetical Blocks in "Qualifikationslisten" of the Austran State Archive are suddenly restricted

@Gerhard145 In DGS 7683819 the RMS metadata date range is 1902 to 1958, which is likely the cause of the restriction. The film has one screen with the year 1958 which I believe is not in reference to the dates on the records:

I have submitted this DGS and seven others from this collection to our metadata team to review and update the date ranges. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.

Re: Heartbroken

Friends,
Thank you all for your kind words.

I needed to take a short break from all things FamilySearch. I hope you understand.

I am sad to report that the situation - the dismantling of my careful research - has not improved during that break. It seems the contributor has created another username and is continuing to run rampant.

I'm weighing my options. Do I spend all my time repairing, repeatedly? Or do I cede the field and declare my branches of the world tree a lost cause? I have other research I want and need to do.

I am disappointed to see that there have been no mod/staff replies to the valid concerns raised by GFre and MaureenE123.

Re: Is the Cemeteries Search feature being worked on?

Hello @BookWorm5, can you provide the Family Tree identifier (PID) or URL for an example of a relative that's not shown, please? That will help this Community investigate your problem. Thanks.

Re: 1931 Canada Census Incomplete In FamilySearch?

@DavidNCraig I did view it in Ancestry to get a District number which I thought would help me find it in catalog listings on FS, but the films are not listed in the Catalog. I had to search by the town name in Images.
