Wow! What a wonderful development. I love it!. It is a great step toward cleaning up of errors that may have been perpertuated over time. Considering the incorrect attachments and relationships that occurred when Reasearch Helps were taken as gospel by so many without any analysis of data, (because they came from FamilySearch) this may highlight those. The many times I have run into patrons who have attached all relationships, no matter how unlikely, are numerous. This feature should also point out the shaky , or improbable, connections that currently exist for early records with no sources. Thank you for working on correcting the tree.

Research Helps can be very useful, but also downright lousy. They depend on the effectiveness of indexing of records, and the critical skills of those who use them. Entering information into a relational database by those who don't understand how relational records work, means that data cleansing will be an ongoing process. Hopefully this feature will help.
