Family Review - Colombia

Jerry Hill

Can anyone give me a clue as to how to get around this?

I'm on page 44 of Cucuta San Antonio, Colombia, Partida 1249. The principal is "Jorge Ramon Mora", but AI picked Olimpia Ortiz as the principal. I tell it no and proceed to specify Jorge Ramon as the principal. It comes back and tells me that "Olegario Villamorzar" is the principal. I hit the back button and try again, but no matter what I do, it insists that "Olegario" is the principal. (BTW. both Olimpia and Olegario are grandparents of Jorge.)

@A Nelson @Ashlee C. Any advice / remedy?

@Ashlee C.
Sorry to be the continual bearer of bad news for the engineers. I worked on an image of San Luis parish in Cucuta Colombia. I'm concerned that some records got missed because AI mixed the data from two consecutive records, twice on the image. I made a screen shot of the first image on the left side of the image (so I wouldn't have to write it all down), but the same thing happened for the top two records on the right side of the image.

In each case, AI grabbed a bunch of names from the second record down and said they were related to the principal in the first record. I had to say "No, Remove" a lot of times and then add the correct names from the top image to the record. It took a long time. Funny thing was that almost all of the correct names from the top records were present in the list of names for the image — just not linked to the right principal.

So I managed to get the top record on each side of the image entered correctly but I'm sure the second record on each side was missed. I seem to recall that there was a third record on each side that may have been missed, too, because Family Review never asked me to do anything with them.

I tried to include a screenshot in the previous message but I'm not sure it made in. It's from San Luis, Cucuta, libro 17, folio 42.

@Jerry Hill Coincidentally I was working on the same records for Colombia a couple of days ago and also saw the problem you mentioned. I have encountered this problem with records for other countries as well. The system could not distinguish correctly the boundaries of each record, so it extracted information from two records at the same time. It is time consuming to fix these problems when they happen, but it can be done for one of the records. You did the right thing. The real concern is that the indexing for the second record will disappear because as far as AI goes, there was only one record to start with. Please message me directly and I will see what I can do.
