  • What are you trying to accomplish? Why?
  • Having an option to see which sources are not attached to the family tree.
  • It makes it easier when i look up a last name to enter, attach, or make new people, to add to the tree.
  • What is the challenge or roadblock you are encountering?
  • I have to look through hundreds of records to make new people.
  • What is your idea?
  • Have someone program a button or tab to see people and records not attached to the family tree.
  • How would solving this challenge improve your experience?"
  • It would make it easier for anyone to add people and sources to the family tree to help it grow

    What exactly are you using to look at these sources?

    I ask because the Search - Records results list shows not only existing attachments, but also suggested/potential attachments of sources.

    That said, I find your reference to wanting to "make new people" ...worrying. A single index entry is not necessarily sufficient information for creating a whole new profile in the Tree. Do people really still sit there trolling through indexed records and creating profiles out of them, like they used to do over a decade ago in FS's preceding systems? That's upside-down and backwards, by my understanding. We're supposed to be aiming for one and only one profile per person, not a new one for every vital event he ever participated in.
