Listed below are 21 PINS all attached to GILBERT LEE WEISS LBWZ-1L6 (also showing a duplicate GZ7R-FJN). This was done by "treehelper" which I have come to know as "This is BYU RLL garbage". These names were indexed from an obituary written for the son (REVEREND EVERETT LEE WEISS - GZ86-1NM). Several of the following are noted as children and/or their spouses, grandchildren and/or their spouses. They very possibly are still alive but are noted as deceased; even the pastor who conducted the service. Many of them only show a first name only and all of them have only one attached source with no vital information at all.

    Anyone marked as deceased that could be living you can edit the record to change them from deceased to living. Then they will only be visible to the user who entered them into Family Tree. All the ones that are deceased, you can edit the relationships and fix all of it. We users are the only ones around who are going to care about our families to make sure Family Tree is accurate. There really is no one to report this to that is going to fix it for you. It might make it to someone who can report concerns about the BYU RLL work but that won't fix the records.

    By the way that United States, Obituary Records, 2014-2023 index which is produced by Domega, Inc. has come up on the boards several times. It seems to have a lot of problems with it.

    Re 'It might make it to someone who can report concerns about the BYU RLL work but that won't fix the records.'

    We have yet to identify a communication channel to anyone in FS that can genuinely get concerns about BYU RLL's egregious activities (both automated and, as here, via teams of volunteers) to the right place to make a difference. FS Support recently passed our concerns to an unnamed team that they think may be suitable, but Support freely admit that there may or may not be results; and that team is clearly not prepared to have a two-way conversation with us, or even to feed back progress via Support.

    Much more on this is here:
