Links with 2:2 in front of profile ID not opening

Charlie10871

Why do references with 2:2 in front of the profile id; for example, 2:2QYNV-2MN, link to nothing when in genealogy searching?

They start with 2:2: not just 2:2, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:QYNV-2MN works. [Edited]

Thanks for the quick reply! They work as far as opening the tree, but I cannot open any of the individual person profiles…

Not sure what you were expecting to find? The tree screen you are seeing, with reference to its parent PRF, is all you normally get in Genealogies - this isn't a FS Family Tree profile.

I was using the tree feature to hopefully find ancestors of people (Which I did,) but I was unable to open the profile IDs or the referenced document(s) to fine details of those persons.

How do I find "details" of profiles on Genealogical tree IDs.

i.e. Catherine Irwin 1813-1894 * 2:2:QBDY-3PL

@Charlie10871, as Mandy already said, there are no "fine details". What you see is what there is. It's not the collaborative Family Tree, but a Pedigree Resource File: a genealogy file (GEDCOM) uploaded by a user of FamilySearch. You can click on that user's handle to see a little bit more about him, but you will need to find a contribution from him in the collaborative Tree to initiate a chat.

Hi @Charlie10871. From the Genealogies page:

"FamilySearch Genealogies is a large directory of family trees, also known as lineages or pedigrees, that people and organizations have shared with FamilySearch. We organize the information into collections and make it available for you to search."

This means that "ID's", like the one you showed, aren't compatible with this site. Instead, you can take the data from this external tree and try to find a profile that closely matches using the search function like this:

I think this person is who you are looking for:

I see now that you have edited this person already on here, so I think what you might be asking is, how do you access the trees on Genealogies in detail. Is that right? The one you linked was from a Pedigree Resource File. I think the answer is that user-submitted trees are already complete, based on this:

The file includes all records, notes, and sources from the original submissions.

Sometimes you can click on the people in the tree and there will be more information, but not always. Here's more about this type of file:
