I can't find an id number in FS?

Sjohnson54

Some of my records show a child, Christine, born 1450 to the family of Ludwig von Diesbach L4BC-FYR and Anna elizabeth Runtz. The autobiography of his son, Ludwig, states that at the time of Ludwig (1418) death he was leaving a spouse who was pregnant, and two little children. the child born after Ludwig (1418) death was Ludwig (1452). I did find a Christine that may be the correct one in Genealogies under the number 35Z2-T6M. But she is no longer in the family search under that ID or 3KYY-PM6 or QN285R1. The record in genealogies shows the correct pedigree line. I don't know how to restore her or find where she has been merged. Can anyone help?

@Sjohnson54 , if she had ever been in Family Tree, you should have been able to search for her by that ID number. You can even find records "deleted" by merge that way. That makes me think she was never added to Family Tree.

As Brett said, it's possible she was in the previous system but is no longer visible because of being combined (the old name for merged). If she'd been combined with another record there, her ID number wouldn't be visible in Family Tree.

You've probably already tried this, but in case not, I'd try to find an accurate record for her in Family Tree. If one exists, you'd just have to connect it. But if not, it's probably best to create a new record for her.

Hope that helps!

FYI

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

So ...

In the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch', the following records exist, in the "Pedigree Resource File":

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:35Z2-T6M

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3KYY-PM6

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:QN285R1

All good ...

But ...

That Said ...

Christine von DIESBACH ( 1450 - Deceased ),with Parents,

Father, Hans Ludwig von DIESBACH ( L4BC-FYR ); and,

Mother, Anna Elisabeth von RUNTZ ( KLGC-MR1 )

DOES NOT appear to exist, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'; as, a Child.

Well, that is NOT unusual ...

'Christine' may NEVER have been added, to "Family Tree"(or, it predecessor, "New.FamilySearch"), of 'FamilySearch'.

Just because, an individual/person, appears in the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch' (and, in this case, the in the "Pedigree Resource File"), DOES NOT mean that they will have been added, to "Family Tree"(or, it predecessor, "New.FamilySearch"), of 'FamilySearch'.

Conversely, an individual/person MAY have been added, to "Family Tree" (or, it predecessor, "New.FamilySearch"), of 'FamilySearch'; but, unfortunately, over time, they may have been either, "Deleted" from; and/or, "Merged"/"Combined", almost out of existence, in "Family Tree"(or, it predecessor, "New.FamilySearch"), of 'FamilySearch'.

Now ...

That Said ...

IF, you CANNOT find 'Christine', in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, simply add (ie. "Create") her.

Simple as that ...

DO NOT worry about what IS (ie. WAS), in the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch' (and, in this case, the in the "Pedigree Resource File").

[ As, you never know, what might turn up later, 'down the track' - ie. you may even find her ... ]

I hope, that this may help/assist. somewhat.

Thank you. I will give it one more shot at trying to find her, then just add her into family search. I am seeing more and more Swiss records indexed so she may show up there with documentation. Thanks again.
