Please make it easier to report potential errors. For example, I believe that among the children of Benjamin Bernard Harrop and Mary Ann Hennessy, Margaret Theresa Harrop is listed under three different names.

    And, if you are comfortable doing so, you can contact the other contributors to those profiles. If you view the change log, you will find links to the names of other contributors, and you can send them private messages through the FS message system.

    The problem in finding errors is that, if found in Family Tree, we have to sort out the details ourselves and make the necessary changes to reflect correct relationships. If the error is found on the Find a Grave website, this has nothing to do with FamilySearch.

    Either way, there is little point in reporting an error to FamilySearch as they do not have the personnel to make corrections. However, if you do have a specific problem, you can ask for help here in Community, in a hope that an experienced Family Tree user might kindly offer to help you out.
