I am a direct descendent of Edward Partridge (KWVM-M2W) and his person page is "Read Only" as he is a prominent founding member of the Church. His page is a mess with duplicates and unattached sources. Does anyone know if there is a way to get access to edit and make changes?

    Here is FamilySearch's official information regarding Read Only individuals. It didn't really answer the question for me and the blog I linked below helped me understand it better. https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-read-only-records-in-family-tree

    Basically it looks like the information on these individuals gets very corrupted by the hundreds of descendants who are not being careful so any changes have to be submitted in writing to a moderator.
