In the Where Am I From? Activity, in the My Heritage section, please add Andrew Burt's parents etc?
In the "Activities" section of Family Search, when I go to the activity "Where Am I From?" and then I go to the "My Heritage" heading in "Where Am I From?" it says that I am only 3% from Scotland. I know that that is not right because my great grandfather, Alexander Burt and all of his family/ancestors are all from Scotland. So then when I push on "Scotland" in the "My Heritage" section of "Where Am I From?" my 2nd great grandfather, Andrew Burt (KWJD-L7Z) 1813-1859 is listed but Andrew Burt's parents Alexander Burt (LDT1-CRP) and Isabel Allan (LKVB-MVN) are not there. Alexander Burt and Isabel Allan's and all of their ancestors are on Family Search and in my Family Tree. Alexander Burt and Isabel Allan's temple work was done over 100 years ago and so was both of their parents temple work done over 100 years ago, so I don't know why they and their parents and their grandparents are not showing up in this "Where Am I From?", "My Heritage" activity.
I have checked all of my other family lines in the "My Heritage" part of this "Where Am I From?" activity and all of my other ancestors are listed in this "My Heritage" section that are in my family tree on Family Search. I teach the youth program at the Granite Family History Center and I taught the youth about this fun "Where Am I From" activity today. I was very surprised when I went to the Scotland section of "My Heritage" in the "Where Am I From?" activity and found that most of my direct line ancestors that are from Scotland are not listed there - and they are all in my family tree on Family Search and have been for many years.
Could you please add Andrew Burt's (KWJD-L7Z) parent's Alexander Burt (LDT1-CRP) and Isabel Allan (LKVB-MVN) to the "Where Am I From?" "My Heritage?" section on Family Search. Also, please add Alexander Burt's (LDT1-CRP) parents, Andrew Burt (LJ1Q-2Q8) and Agnes Williamson (LCTG-LQG) and Isabel Allan's (LKVB-MVN) parents, John Allan (LJR5-XF6) and Catharine Burt (LZZ1-Z3J) and then their parents etc. to "Where Am I From?" "My Heritage." All of these people have also had their temple work done over 100 years ago and I have had family records on them since I was young, so I don't know why they are not showing up in this activity in Family Search.
Thank you for your time in correcting this problem on familysearch.org/discovery/explore/heritage
Can you please let me know when it is corrected? I want to show my students next week that I really do have a lot of ancestors that are from Scotland. My maiden name is even from Scotland.

@burtfamily Because of your post I browsed the 'where am I from' activity and am finding a similar issue.
Unfortunately this means - 'I have some tree-cleaning to do' - on early member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint lines - that have morphed into a tangled mess due to the open-edit, one-world tree structure that Family Tree is built upon AND the lack of care some take toward importing Sources and profiles into the Tree.
It is too bad my hawk-eyed watch/following feature did not catch this morphing. But no, I cannot leave the 'tree-cleaning' to FamilySearch (they have enough on their plate already) - I'll have to put the gloves on and 'put my shoulder to the wheel' - and do it myself... The profiles of my ancestors deserve that.
Thanks for the heads up.
