With "Full Name" review, what do with a first name only

Smyth MJ

Like when the first name only is in a will….Betty

I just click on unsure and move on.

With Full Name Review, read a given name only within the context of the document. That person is likely identified elsewhere by the Full (complete) name. Remember that the Full Name Review is intended as a step towards finding the correct people, not the final destination

@Ashlee C. and @Smyth MJ When I saw the announcement here (almost immediately after it was posted due to insomnia issues) I phoned my Ward Family History leader early the next morning and he knew nothing about it. Now its been a week, so I filled him in and suggested word needs to get out to everyone who may have tried indexing in the past and changed their focus to genealogy/related works. We're still working on that.

Has FamilySearch been emailing information to Church members about Name and full name review. I did not realize AI is taking control until this week.
