When a person is created by FamilySearch can you view the document they used to create that profile?
Today there was a "possible duplicate" on my great grandfather. The "duplicate" was a profile created by FamilySearch. Is there a way for me to view the document that they used to make the profile?

Short Answer: That depends ...
.
Sometimes the individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" came from its forerunner "New.FamilySearch"; and, there is nothing associated with that individual/person.
.
Other times, if you are lucky, such individual's/person's have "Sources" attached; as, they were created through the old "Records Extraction" programme (from a number of years ago, that no longer happens now).
.
If there is nothing associated with that individual/person (ie. "Reason Statement"; and/or, "Sources"); then, the answer to you question is most likely not.
.
I hope this helps.

I've noticed that records will often show created or edited by FamilySearch. I think that it often shows that because the record is actually a combined record of multiple records from previous older databases - all submitted by multiple patrons. Perhaps someone else in this forum knows for sure how it works.
I'm fairly sure that if sources were provided, you should be able to see them. A lot of records are created without the submitter providing their sources.
