My entire Gallery!
All of my 2,586 posted items in my Gallery have been labeled 'RESTRICTED'. Over 6 years of work! I understand there is some computer generated system that reviews these, but what in the world!? I have read & reread Family Search rules, but I do not understand why clear, decent photos of my family (taken by other family members) are restricted.
What about US Draft Registrations? I cannot locate the rules on why those are restricted? Those are public record & not marked copyrighted.
Birth & death certificates that are NOT labeled copyrighted have always been accepted.
I have recently learned that Newspapers.com articles, obits, etc., are marked 'copyrighted' (in very teeny letters at the bottom), so those i understand.
This is bewildering & confusing to me! All of a sudden there is a restriction audit and I have been targeted!
thank you, Toria

Yikes! Let's see if we can help you!
This is the first time I have ever seen this happen, so I'm pretty sure this is a mistake.
I will ask others on my team to take a look at this and see what the problem might be. Give us a bit of time, but hopefully we can get this corrected quickly.

Thank you! But, I have discovered what has occurred. Apparently i have many sources that are not allowed in FS. I had NO idea. I read the rules, but no where does it say we cannot bring in anything from Newspapers.com, Ancestry, Find a Grave, etc. I thought just documents with Copyright notations were unacceptable. (Newspapers.com does have this itsy bitsy Copyright notation at the very bottom of their page; i have never noticed). I've been working on FS for several years & the way I have been treated by the associates who 'monitor' our files have been hurtful & disrespectful to me. When I finally was told why I had so many 'restrictions', I immediately apologized & wanted to clean them out. The FS monitors were uncaring & cold. I have been banned from attaching any more memories to my huge family tree. I have no idea how long this ban will last, but it hurts me immensely to be treated this way. I'm a 67 year old honest gal who started this genealogy quest 6 years ago when I discovered my family lied to me about my life. I'm beyond surprised how people can be so cruel…both family & others. Thank you for your caring.
