Request for guidance on how to submit all names from sources in ancestral villages
I understand that FamilySearch users are allowed to submit all names from sources in ancestral villages where there is a paucity of records that make it possible for us to connect specific lines further, although ancestral family members have been in these villages long enough to assume that everyone in each village is related to everyone else there. I have reached this point on several lines. Generally these are village and parish records from the 1600s and 1700s in England, Sweden and Germany. I would like to take this on and would appreciate guidance on how best to do this. I am sure I am not the first person ever to do this, but I find no guidance in the FamilySearch Wiki to help me.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
Just in passing ...
Providing, you are referring to, "Creating" individuals/persons, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ...
I would humbly suggest, that there may be NO such guidance, in 'FamilySearch', to undertake, what you are referencing; as, such in NOT, the true/original purpose, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The the, true/original; and, principal purpose of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is for Users/Patrons, is BUILD (and, work on), one's "Ancestral" Lines; and, of course, including those, that one MAY have come across, with some "Relationship"; but, certainly, NOT, "Creating" records, for ALL, individuals/person, in a given "Locality", on the 'off chance', that one is (or, that they may ALL be) "Related".
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', should NOT, be used by Users/Patrons; as, a 'Workspace'; or, 'Playground', for the likes of, 'One-Name'/'Surname' Studies; nor, Generic "Locality" Gatherings, of People from a specific locality; nor, "Bulk" Gathering Projects (especially; where, non-existent People are created, just to "Merge"/"Combine", similar "Named" People together).
But ...
That Said ...
Do not despair ...
Whereas ...
The "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch',' is where the aforementioned, can be submitted.
FamilySearch Genealogies is a large directory of family trees, also known as lineages or pedigrees, that people and organizations have shared with FamilySearch. We organize the information into collections and make it available for you to search.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies
Particularly ...
Submissions ...
https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies/submissions
Which, for example, includes the likes of "Community Trees", which can include specific locations/localities ...
https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies/submissions?f.collectionId=8
Just my thoughts.
Good Luck
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

Please do not attempt to do ordinances without first doing the very thorough research required to build correct profiles in Family Tree. That just makes a mess.
