@Rhonda Budvarson Thanks; the URL goes to a webinar from 8 Jan 2025, if I'm understanding correctly. So not "new?"

@Áine.ní.Donnghaile oh darn, you are right. I will take off new and add the date. And see if I can locate the new one.

I was a proofreader and editor in a previous life. 😉

Data Quality has a long way to go.
Biggest issue? Locality - today versus historical. The vexing one is Saarland. It didn't exist at all before 1947 when the area was being organized and separated from Rheinland and Bayern. I had to ignore the Data quality when it comes to this one.
2nd issue. Data Quality's extreme inisistence on 1871, ignoring the naming of localities existing before 1871.
3rd issue, the given names linked to specific records, ignoring other records showing different spellings.
Also insistence on English-centric rather than native centric.

It appears we are once again having network issues that are messing with our minds a bit by combining discussions that do not belong together. I have been trying to correct it, but so far no success. I will report this, and hopefully someone can get involved.

Estoy teniendo un problema con la calidad del perfil de mí abuelo y es que literalmente no me deja verlo, mí abuelo era de un condado rural y tuvo 16 hijos con mí abuela. El problema es que por alguna razón cuando busque de mí padre me aparecía, luego no aparecia mí padre luego que los conecte me dice que no. Es un quilombo bárbaro. Porque antes me aparecia hasta la madre y el abuelo y después no.

Still unable to correct splitting these off due to network errors. Will try again later.

@sc woz This thread was originally an announcement. Can you at least close this one since it seems to be getting hit hardest with extraneous comments?
