    I'm finding many sources submitted into new.familysearch.com in my tree. Most were submitted my deceased mother, and some by myself. The references in those sources seem to be unsearchable. I am attaching a screen print example below. From the example, how would I find the actual submission?

    Thank you, Maury Dean

    When sources were transferred from New Family Search to Family Tree, the routine could not differentiate between real sources and other stuff. Unless it is obvious in the imported source where to find the original source material, there is usually nothing to try searching for.

    In the example you posted, the "source" is just "I was told by the two women who are named under 'Where the Record is Found" that his birth date and place were ...." Unless you happen to know who those two women are so you can ask them how they know that information, this is not a source and it is fine to just detach it.
