Record Hint Review (beta)
Love the project. Thanks for the invite.
Finding most records are proper matches for sourcelinker to process. This is a nice follow on to the next step wherein the record opens in sourcelinker and you can then work through linking the records to the appropriate folks therein.
About 1/2 of the suggested matches in the project seem to lead me to a mixed up family or relationships; which then lead to my first love of sorting and organizing the FamilyTree.
Here's a pix of a simple issue found. A duplicate entry of a mother and son entry, where the project source was already linked to the complete family already in FamilySearch.
Whereas I have crawled all up and down 'my tree (branches)'; it is fun to now do side quests to add to the record, the Tree, and correct clear and sometimes unclear mistakes.

Thank you for bringing the existence of this program to the attention of us in the community that might not have heard of it otherwise.

Thank you for participating in the Record Hints Activity. On the person page for Susan Clessner -LD3M-8PZ, it appears you figured out that there was a duplicate for her. Same for Norman Blough -2S66-W52. After merging, were you able to attach the record hint? Did you have problems with the source linker anymore?

Once people are merged, if you hit refresh on the SourceLinker screen - it will show true. Once the family is merged properly, it shows the people in the record lined up with a full and complete family in the Tree on the right.

That is some useful information! Thank you for sharing.

All my years on FS, and posting half a dozen discussions here in Community — I can't seem to find/remember how…
Again brought by the Record Hint Review (beta) program. (I think this program is having additional humans review Record Hints that may have been previously marked as not a match - but have many clear markers in common. Anecdotally, 9 of 10 sources DO belong; BUT as noted above ~5 of 10 lead to a cleanup project or duplicate entries in FS.)
As a continuation of my fun Un-Merging projects, I present the following.
