Potential New Source of Data
Is there a way to suggest adding a new source of data? I would love to see FS add building permits. Here in los Angeles, we can access historic building permits but you can only do it by address. Having the ability to search by owner and other data fields would be a tremendous help. The city won't do this because they do not see the value. I think it would be a great addition.

@MikeShawn The City or County of Los Angeles would need to agree to a contract with FamilySearch for FS to add those records to their collection. In general, the record holder (in this case, Los Angeles) would contact FS and ask them to include the collection.
This magazine article is a few years old, but the process is still much the same. https://familytreemagazine.com/websites/familysearch/familysearch-digitize-records/1
