I want to find who has contributed to the records for a family group. How do I do this? I would like to enter the surname and see who has contributed.

    You can view who has made additions/changes/connections on an individual PID by viewing the Changelog - on the right side under "Latest Changes." Show All will open another window with all the work done on that profile.

    Thanks. Yes, I realize I can do that person-by-person but was hoping I could do that for a family group so it wouldn't take so long.

    I think you'll find that once you find one member of the family, the same 2 or 3 contributors will have done most of the work on the family. For example - that snip I just showed - there are 12 children in that family. In attaching 1 census, I've touched 14 people. In attaching 1 death or birth, I touched 3 people.

    OK. I'll give it a try.
