A couple of wish list suggestions
The following two items I would find helpful:
--Having the abilty to choose a particular county to work on, if desired. That way, someone who is familiar with names in a specific area can use this expertise to aid accuracy.
--When reviewing names, to have a way to add/delete the suffix field. I have run into names where "Jr" needed to be added, but the field did not show up to do so. There have also been times when the suffix field does show up, with info in it that is not a suffix. There is no great way to remove this.
Thank you!

FYI - the feedback button doesn't always work. You can click and wait and you get nothing.
So let me ALSO chime in and say the ability to add a county to the search and index function would be very helpful.

@monnettohio, I'm sorry the feedback isn't always working for you! I've not had that experience happen to me nor have I heard anyone else say it hasn't worked. Hopefully it was a temporary glitch. You might also clear your temp files and cookies for overall function of your computer. Thank you for letting me know.

@AndLinda Nope. Not making a difference.

@monnettohio, what browser are you using? Sometimes he helps to change browsers to help a program work better. Chrome is always good.
Which Feedback are you using when experiencing the issue? On the main page and the left when you click Feedback, you have to click on one of the emoticons to bring up the box to type in. You might also try clicking out of the Feedback and then clicking on it again.
I sure hope that it can be resolved for you.

I agree. I want to proof my family counties. I know those names! Plus, the county I live in - for 50 years - I know those names.

First, let me say I like the AI then review process. But indexing detail after detail is wasted effort. If someone thinks it's their person/family, they will bring up the document. I'll stick with name review. Also, working the 1950 census has made me appreciate regular indexing through FamilySearch. Much simpler and help is always close at hand.

Hi Linda. Still having issues.
Chrome is consistently having issues with the feedback button that appears inside the indexing section. I have deleted everything I can delete. Edge is not having an issue, and if I have to use that, I can.

@Joan Forester 1, I have a different perspective on the details. On previous census records the details were not extracted and people have a tendency to not look at them. Those details have often greatly assisted me in my research and I have wished that those who were working in the same lines would have noticed and pulled together the relevant information. I do agree that there are a lot of details being extracted in the 1950 census for which I do not have an idea where I would use them. We may get greater clarity in the future.

@monnettohio, so sorry. I guess you will need to use Edge then. I'm not sure what else you could do.
