Family search added people but with no information

PicaJ

I hope this isn't a dumb question but I'm searching for ancestors with the surname Scilio.

I found 3 names with the following ID's - MH7Z-6PV, MH7Z-6PB, MH7Z-6PM

My issue is Family Search have added these names in 2012 - but with no other information.

This one here MH7Z-6PV is just a name but no country or town so I want to find out where they found the name.

Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

The 2012 date is the clue. That the information comes from an earlier version of the program, and the name of the contributor could not be brought forward into the newer formats. And, the earlier formats of the program did not allow for source attachment.

I'm very new to this but had read about the earlier version ... I was hoping there was a way to get the information but obviously not. What a shame but thank you so much for responding.

The records or indexes/extracts of the records are likely resident on FamilySearch. Since this is a fully open-edit, collaborative, tree, any user can search for and add those sources to the profiles.

Rather than repeat myself, for a discussion of what you are seeing, see the following:

My comments dated July 18 at: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/63815/sources-attached-too-many-times#latest (most of the post does not actually apply to your question but my two comments do).

My comments under: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/518406#Comment_518406 (Here I've gone over what you are seeing in even more painful detail.)

Looking at the record for MH7Z-6PV, it looks like he was added to the International Genealogical Index in 1995 with just his name as the father of his daughter Maria. Because he has no other information other than his name, I would assume that came from some source for Maria.

LIkewise MH7Z-6PB was added to the IGI in 1995 and is Maria's mother.

MH7Z-6PM Is Maria who was added to the IGI 26 August 1995.

The IGI did not include the actual contributors name or sources but the entire IGI was imported into Family Tree.

In my other posts I mainly talk about the old extraction program. The IGI did contain the records from that, but it also included all the information submitted by individual researchers about their families. This particular group of father, mother and child looks to be that type of record because it has even less information than a typical extraction record in that it has only a country and an estimated birth year for the daughter Maria, only the father's name, and the mother's name and her full birth date but no birthplace. This does not fit the pattern for either an extraction birth record or an extraction marriage record. So there is not going to be a nicely corresponding index in the FamilySearch Historical record. In fact, I'm not sure what single record would contain all the information shown on these three in this particular configuration.
