Re: I reported a FamilySearch Center location which was showing up located in the ocean

As Áine has said, the splitting of this topic has lost the context of my comment.

I was referring to the words of the poster Jon Fox_1 in the original topic

"I'm now living in the Philippines, but used to access records at the FHC in Carson City, Nevada. I live in Nueva Ecija Province, Luzon Island. The nearest listed FHC is at Olongopo Rd, Corner of Ventura St, Gapan City, 3106 Nueva Ecija. However, this is in the middle of the countryside, about 18 miles from my location. Viewing the location on Google Maps, there is nothing there at the address, and only a few private residences nearby."

I am suggesting @shecorwe that the relevant team should check whether the Map Coordinates for the FHC in the Philippines are correct as Jon Fox_1 said "Viewing the location on Google Maps, there is nothing there at the address, and only a few private residences nearby."

Note the title of this split topic referred to a now resolved problem I has some years ago which I thought might be relevant to the FHC in the Phillipines. I do not have a current problem.

Re: Error on 1911 Census for England and Wales

@IdahoSusieQ It seems the marriage date of the parents is carrying over to all in the household. I found the same error in other families that I randomly checked. Thanks for making us aware!

Re: What happened to the new AI field-indexed Italian records?

Translation: "Based on what is circulating on Facebook, Reddit, and here: https://italianismo.com.br/it/italia-restringe-acesso-aos-documentos-historicos-no-familysearch/

and on this Italian forum: https://www.tuttogenealogia.it/viewtopic.php?p=215006#p215006

it appears that the Directorate General for Archives—the public body responsible for managing the State Archives, which falls under the Ministry of Culture—has unilaterally modified its contract with FS, thereby preventing it from displaying the records under its jurisdiction, as well as the majority of the extracted metadata.

This is terrible news."

Re: Immigration Records Erroneously Showing Entry at Quebec, Hardin, United States?

@BookWorm5 In the past we tried to come up with ways to show users known issues, including data errors in records and search results but the task was enormous and we lacked the manpower to monitor and update it. The project was scrapped.

I much prefer having users report whether or not they are from the same collection. It pulls more weight when I can convey that a certain collection is being mentioned often in feedback.

Re: What happened to the new AI field-indexed Italian records?

Da quel che si legge in giro su facebook, reddit e qui: https://italianismo.com.br/it/italia-restringe-acesso-aos-documentos-historicos-no-familysearch/

e su questo forum italiano: https://www.tuttogenealogia.it/viewtopic.php?p=215006#p215006

pare che la Direzione Generale degli Archivi, l'ente pubblico che gestisce gli Archivi di Stato e che dipende dal Ministero della Cultura, abbia modificato unilateralmente il contratto con FS impedendogli di mostrare i registri di sua pertinenza e anche la maggior parte dei metadati estratti.

Una pessima notizia.

Re: Is there a way to get a page scanned from a book that isn't available online?

If you can wait, I can consult the book for you the next time I go to my library.

Re: Images DGS 109798550 availability

What's the name of the collection or record set, please @Igor34799 ?
There have been some recent changes to various collections. Knowing the name and location may help us get you an answer.

Re: Understanding when you can add indexed information and when you cannot.

@1992lanie

These names were all added to the index on March 7th: Francisco Tayog, Alfonso Samson, Rosalina Samson, Ignasio Samson, and Damasco Samson. Were there any others? Did you try to use "Manage Indexes" on any day other than March 7th? When you added these names, was the index blank?

Can you explain what you meant by "the new tagging feature" and how did you disable it?

Answering these questions will help me to help the engineers figure out what happened.
