Hi Cara & all There have been two different enquiries that were posted under the same subject line which seems to be muddying the waters The first was to do with a birth and was from an extraction (as it was part of a batch extraction) <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/IRL-DUBLIN/2012-07/1343077628> The second was to do with data found under the category "Trees" which is all submitted data (but not part of the Records Category, you have to select Trees to get it or follow the prompts from below search results (see below) <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/IRL-DUBLIN/2012-07/1343146977> On familysearch under the banner :- Discover Your Family History Are various categories :- Records Trees Catalog Books (ignoring Catalog & Books for now) It defaults to Records where you can search all records indexed but *no* submitted data To get the submitted data at present you need to select "Trees" where you will find the description :- ================== Family Trees contains millions of lineage linked genealogies. These pedigrees come from Ancestral File, the Pedigree Resource File (PRF) and other patron submissions. ================== If you search the extracted data under "Records" you will notice the submitted tree data is displayed below the hits but are not part of it (if there are corresponding records in Trees) At present I don't know how the submitted data that was part of the IGI will be displayed, I hope under trees and not under Records but believe they have learned by the mistakes of the past so will keep it separate It is in a separate category under (Community Contributed IGI (Personal family information submitted to the LDS Church) But is not as yet available ================== So in summary, if you search familysearch under "Records" you will only get extracted data and if you search "Trees" you will get submitted data All data found under "Records" should be checked by sourcing the original document All data found under "Trees" should be treated as a signpost but also with caution until evidence is found to corroborate it ================== I was under the impression that all the Pedigree CDs had been superceded by the online verions under "Trees" I do not think the Pedigree CDs are available any longer Perhaps someone can try a few from the CDs on the "Trees" category to see if they are on there Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 30/07/2012 02:56, Cara wrote: > And this is what I was referring to actually when I was making my first > mail, that these are personal inputs with no way of getting back to the > submitter, and not the site Nivard was talking of.
