Uploaded File to the Genealogies Section
I recently uploaded a GEDCOM to the Genealogies section of FamilySearch, which is in the Search drop down menu. My GEDCOM has 9172 individuals listed.
Can someone tell me why then, when I start to do a search of that uploaded file, without logging in, does it say that there are 9708 results?
I'm very curious to know why the two totals do not match.

Just in passing ...
Just in case ...
You were not aware ...
Please be, aware; and, advised, that ...
Those GEDCOM Files, "Uploaded", to the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch', DO NOT include, ANY "Living" individuals/persons, that were contained in the GEDCOM File.
ANY "Living" individuals/persons, that are contained in a GEDCOM File, are NOT "Uploaded".
That is, because; and, a matter, of "Privacy", for "Living" individuals/persons.
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
Question: Does the aforementioned account for the discrepancy?
Please advise/clarify.
'Thank You' in advance.

Thanks for your reply, Brett.
I’ll try to explain my issue again: For some reason I’m seeing a larger number of people in the uploaded file when I do a search, than there was in the original GEDCOM file.
I know that the living people aren’t viewable in the uploaded file.

Oops ...
Sorry, i must have had a 'dyslexic' moment ...
[ Or, just OLD age ... ]
[ Basically, 'mouth' in motion, before, 'brain' in gear ... ]
I 'see'. MORE, than was in your GEDCOM File ...
[ NOT less ... ]
Now ...
That Said ...
So that we may be able to help/assist ...
Question: WHAT, are you "Search", for? ( eg. Just a "Name"; or, a "Submission ID"; or, something else)
Can you add, the URL, of the "Search", in this post of yours.
'Thank You', in advance.
