    Very well done! I wish this were more prominent so all have to take a look at it before beginning! Also, I wish we weren't bothered with the constant

    "Do you want to continue or finish the page banners? They are very disruptive; and we know we can stop whenever we want/need to! Still unanswered: What do we do if lines are skipped or we need to see the next/previous page? (especially on Names not Families) I don't know if I should combine family members on the Transcription page at bottom Right or type a different name in the hightlighted section than the computer has highlighted because it is off by one line?

    I am volunteering by reviewing, indexing and 1950 Census. I don't see any stats for how many i have completed. Is that part of the program?

    I was looking at the Census record for my grandmother and her family and they were grouped with another family. Is there a away to fix this? I have looked all over the website and have not found an answer.

    Thank you very much for this very helpful information about Review Names for the 1950 U.S. Census - that the Reviewing of Names is DONE!

    Item One - You have a list of all of the emails of us who have been doing Review Names - over 150,000 volunteers based on the last information I read.

    Please send an email to each of us that Review Names is completed and that you hope we will continue to Review Families.

    Item Two - Please remove "The 1950 U.S. Census - Review Names" option from the Get Involved app and from the FamilySearch web page.

    Item Three - Since Monday, June 27, 2022 - when I had trouble getting the 1950 Census Review Names button to work - I have tried dozens of times to do

    the previous FamilySearch Review Names for the United States. Every time I get the "Error Occurred" message. Just now, on the FS website, I finally found a state - Virginia - where I could review names in a document. Couldn't the states which currently have no names to review be removed from the pull-down menu so the frustration level of would-be volunteers doesn't explode, resulting in "Forget this. I'm done trying to help review names!"

    Lastly, my wife and I are part of a group of 70 people I organized with a target of Reviewing 250,000 Names. Our group has done 182,000 to date. My wife and I have done over 60,000 of those. We've had a delightful time doing it while eating, waiting, etc. I've bragged about the Get Involved app to many, many people! Please keep it functioning.

    Thank you very much.
