I don't understand why you want to show me stuff. I already have more accurate data.

Frederick Pratt Nielson said: You've sent me a connection to Frihoff Brigham Nielson born in August 1878 and died in September 1879. There is a photo of an adult younger brother, my grandfather Joseph Frederick Nielson Sr. attached to your forwarding. How do you manage to make these kind of mistakes in your forwardings? This is not the first time. If you're going to do it, why can't you do it right?

    FamilySearch Moderator said: One of the beauties of having a global public tree is that when you find that someone has mistakenly tagged a picture to the wrong person, you can go in and change it. In this case, since it was easier to just do it, I removed the photo from Frihoff, tagged it to Joseph Frederick "Fred" Nielson, Sr. as you suggested, and removed the portrait from Frihoff's page. Again, you or anyone else could have done this, and as we all gather all of our resources and memories and other treasures to form a legacy for a person that will stand forever, I am glad that it is open for all to participate. I know this is not my family, but I took the chance and acted in your behalf according to your instructions.

    A van Helsdingen said: The FamilySearch FamilyTree is edited by users of FamilySearch, not FamilySearch itself. The only problem that can be attributed to FS are "hints" - genealogical records that FS has identified (sometimes incorrectly) as possibly being relevant to the person.
