George William Platt KVGN-D7R was never married, and never adopted or served as guardian for children.

A user added an adopted daughter by mistake. The mistaken daughter has now been removed. However, the "New Discovery" page for George William Platt KVGN-D7R still says he had "at least 1 daughter". Not true.

The "New Discovery" page Life Summary of a person's life needs to update as soon as changes like this are made to the Detail Person page.

Example:

    On the New Discovery Page, the information is static for one to two weeks and then is reanalyzed and published. For example, stories you add or changes to a record do not appear until one or two weeks after a change has been made.

    Since the child was removed on June 1 you will not see that change take place until the information is reanalyzed and published.

    Hello! I have an error to report too.

    The relationship tool on the New Discovery Page opens TREE and PERSON links to "ancestors.familysearch.org" which produces an error. When the "ancestors" is replaced with "www" all works well.

    Should be an easy fix for your team.

    Also, please make these pages printable. Screen captures to grab the whole length of ancestors is time comsuming.

    Thanks for a fun tool!
