I lost my remarks but wanted to share that I enjoyed your presentations and so far, I have been doing the right things. I am 79 years old and started the journey in the 8th grade but always wondered before I got the bug in school. Always seeing people in my father's life and asking who they were. We had no family reunion on his Fitzgerald side of the family. I know more about his family, and he was close to his cousins. Sometimes I wonder people really understand what they have missed. I grew up in Hillsdale, Michigan and we taught tons of families in the United States that had roots in Hillsdale back in 1838 when we became a valued city. Thank you for you good presentation, voice means a lot to.me. You made me want to get involved, so I thank you again.

I recently spent a lot of time merging and separating and untangling a number of families on one line on FamilySearch. I wrote to the author and this is her reply:
"All of this data was gedcom data from elsewhere. I understood that the system would find the matching people and they could be merged. It did not track the duplicates in most cases. I am very happy to merge them as I was not trying to make duplicates. I've been trying to merge duplicates myself and I'm not trying to take anything over or duplicate anyone's work. All I did was try to pull my Gedcom data over to this tree and this is what the system told me."
Even if I don't consider the time and effort that had to be taken to correct the added information (no sources), it seems that a large number of PID numbers were used and had to be discarded. I thought you might like to know.
Sincerely,
Alice Gedge
