]]> Quality Score is High, Despite Obvious Errors https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/158825/quality-score-is-high-despite-obvious-errors Fri, 08 Mar 2024 21:46:53 +0000 Social Groups jhales1 158825@/en/discussions I'm excited to see this tool begin to be available, in hopes it can identify problems more quickly and easily. One issue I encountered quite quickly is someone with a high quality score, who is also tagged by FamilySearch as marrying before she was born. Sarah Smith 21 March 1813 – 10 July 1882 KWJW-BRX. She also has three husbands with the same name, and probable overlaps in the potential marriage dates (2 on the same date). She also lacks sources for a host of events. The system identified the problem with the marriage date and the lack of sources for pertinent events, but did not tag her with a low quality score. I would love to see this tool advance. Thank you!

]]> 0 sources, medium score???? https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/158672/0-sources-medium-score Wed, 06 Mar 2024 18:06:05 +0000 Social Groups Bowers SharonMarchant1 158672@/en/discussions I do not believe a profile with 0 sources rates a medium score. There is nothing there to prove the existence of the person, let alone a birth date and place and a death date. See Sanford, M71C-SHY, for an example.

The profile score throws many errors for John being after normal child-bearing years when his children were born. If the algorithm is using a woman's normal child-bearing years for a man, a correction is needed. I also find it odd that the children are not listed in birth order in the error list. https://www.familysearch.org/service/tree/tree-data/labs/person-scores/GDL3-44P/summary

New York City, New York, United States is recognized as a standard placename in the FSFT, but her score summary indicates the residence conclusion is missing a City.

The same applies to her place of birth. Montreal, Quebec, Canada is a standard city placename, but the Summary shows it as missing a city.

Mary Burgess Johnson was 38 when her 3rd and last child was born in 1920.

Also, another "missing_place_jurisdictions" error and the rural issue.

Once again, there is the error that isn't really an error of rural locations without a city/town.

In addition, there is an undefined error on the marriage regarding "missing_place_jurisdictions." The marriage is a County record, and I don't see any issues in the profile. The record has been indexed and attached many times.

Shouldn't the date from a birth record (or, in this case, from the Family Bible) be weighted over the vague and often inaccurate date/age in a census?

I'll concede my GGM was very old at 87 in 1940, but I don't consider 40 and 42 old for the births of Uncle Reagor in 1894 and Aunt Mary in 1896.

]]> Quality Score issues with marriage cities and death counties that can't be fixed https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/159488/quality-score-issues-with-marriage-cities-and-death-counties-that-cant-be-fixed Wed, 20 Mar 2024 00:56:07 +0000 Social Groups EchoFarrowTaylor 159488@/en/discussions
  • "Data is Complete" includes the following error: "A marriage place is missing a city." Often marriage certificates are listed under county records and no city is available. It seems a shame to mark the score down for something that can't be fixed. I know it doesn't have to be all 5 stars, but I try. :-)
  • Under "Data is Conflict Free," for my grandmother, it says: "The date of death +2004-08-25 is in conflict with the standardized place Emmett, Ada, Idaho, United States, which existed from +1890 to +1892." Emmett, Idaho, is currently in Gem County. Yes it was in Ada County from 1890 to 1892, but the event happened in 2004. This isn't a conflict but is marked as one.

Standardized place for San Francisco in 1922 is San Francisco, California, United States.

    Unfortunately, the algorithm still reports the death and burial places as missing a city:

    Any hope of an adjustment? Thanks.

Most of her later records show her place of birth as "Canada" with a few later records of her descendants showing that she was born in the USA.

    Unfortunately, the profile score doesn't recognize Canada East as the designation at the time she was born and throws MANY warnings:

    Can the algorithm be retrained? Thanks.
