UPDATE - Found the link - https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/hints

Yesterday, I came upon a page where it listed distant relatives that had sources that needed to be attached. I had a wonderful time “going down the rabbit hole” so others looking at the profile have the attached sources. But I do not remember how I came across that page so I can repeat my volunteering.  

This was different than the “record hints” on the main FS page. This web page had in the center three "boxes" with the name and then arrows at either side to be able to scroll through a list of others who needed sources attached. Below it, there was a box I could check to not show all those where I had completed the task and they would be removed from the list.

So just looking for the URL to this page so I can bookmark and continue in my spare time.

    Hi nontrad,

    I am sorry don't recognise the page you are referring to, unless it is one of the references sent out regularly by FAmilySearch, but will it help if you look at the recent history on your server?

    I have just tried the Windows 10 recent history and it does show each page/site that I have been on, even this page. If you haven't cleared your cookies, cache or recent history you might find it in your recent history.

    For Window ten you find it by clicking on the three vertical dots in the top right corner and on a Mac if I remember correctly it's on the left on the top bar. I'm sorry I can't help you more but maybe this will get you to where you want to be.

    All the best

    Cedar

    @nontrad

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just to let you know; so that, you are aware ...

    What you initially 'saw' (and, later 'found' again), is SIMPLY, one of the MANY "Campaigns", of the Church (through 'FamilySearch'), to engender, more/greater participation, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', by the "Registered" Users/Patrons, of 'FamilySearch'; especially; but, not limited to, Users/Patrons who ARE Members of the Church.

    Nothing more, nothing less ...

    The mode of promulgation, "Registered" Users/Patrons, of those "Campaigns" is via/through, the likes of, 

    (1) DIRECT "E-mail"; and/or, 

    (2) 'FamilySearch', "Notifications", of "Discoveries"

    That is most likely were, you would has come across, that particular URL.

    And ...

    'Yes'...

    The "Campaigns" operate slightly differently to both, the "Recommended Tasks" on our/the "Home"/"Landing" page/screen; and, "Research Help" on the individual "Person/Details" pages/screens, of 'FamilySearch'.

    But ...

    That Said ...

    The "Campaigns", are simply, ANOTHER Resource, provided to us, by 'FamilySearch', to HELP us, with our research and endeavors.

    Here is a list of just some of the "Campaigns", with their corresponding URLs:

    [ The 'Campaigns" below, are ALL still "Active"; as, I just checked, before, posting here ... ]

    These were people with sources that were not attached yet, not like the ones you listed where there was already a connection made.

    @nontrad

    FYI

    In MANY cases, of those "Campaigns", that I listed, I have come across individuals/persons, with the "Sources" EITHER,

    (1) NOT attached; and/or,

    (2) Attached.

    For some of those "Campaigns", where the "Source" was ALREADY attached, it was a matter that the "Campaign" had NOT been, "Refreshed"; or, "Synchronised", by the "System", for some time, some times never.

    For Example ...

    For the "Records", on the "Recommended Tasks", of one's "Home"/"Landing" page/screen, when the Records have been subsequently attached (or, "Dismissed") ...

    IF, one "Refreshes" one's "Home"/"Landing" page/screen, after a Record(s) have been subsequently attached (or, "Dismissed"), to an individual/person; THEN, that individual/person disappears from the "Recommended Tasks" of one's "Home"/"Landing" page/screen, that is easy.

    But ...

    That Said ...

    Such, is NOT so easy/simple, in read to the various "Campaigns"; as, the "Campaigns" NEED to be "Refreshed"; or, "Synchronised", by the "System" (if ever).

    I was just providing you, with information, about some of the various "Campaigns", undertaken by 'FamilySearch'.

    I just though, that having such a list, of the "Campaigns" that are still "Active", may provide you with some other interesting and helpful information/details, that you may not be aware of.

    That is all.
