I have been spending the last week trying to clean up some kind of mess on my NFS. All kinds of ordinance dates have either disappeared, or say they are not completed (when I have the cards to prove it), and some one else's names are there saying they have reserved ordinances that I have previously done (I have the cards for those too), there are unknown parents everywhere, sometimes several sets for each person. I am wondering if it is just me or is everyone having this problem? I am writing to NFS today to try and figure out what is happening. Already I see that several ordinances I submitted and completed a few years ago are being submitted and completed by some one else just last month. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Sincerely, Carrie Taylor

Sincerely, Carrie Taylor > Yes I am seeing the same thing. Several years ago a cousin and I spend several weeks cleaning up a family where both husband and wife have very common names. All looked good after we where done and all temple work was completed. Just last month she wrote me about this same couple and this family is now a complete mess again. Wrong spouses linked, wrong parents linked etc. Worst of all temple ordinances show ready. And no, there are no correct duplicates in nFS. It seems like the old records have just disappeared. The contributor of the bad vital dates and links is showing as "Data Manager" and now if we request certain correction all we get is the basic answer "Show your sources" Yet "Data Manager" can change things on a whim?????? This is very frustrating and a lot of time is wasted because of this. Beside "Data Manager" we are the only contributors showing on these records. Neither my cousin or I have been contacted about this. Disappointed and frustrated........ Peter

Same thing happened to me on NFS.  I have seen work that I did, now show incomplete; names that were combined are suddenly uncombined.  Having the same issues as Carrie.  This is very frustrating. --- On Sat, 7/7/12, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] Is this happening to anyone else-NFS all messed up?

They are ditto marks. I'm arbitrator and that's the instruction. Don't try with these who are 4 years old and below. David Samuelsen On 7/6/2012 4:35 PM, Mary S.

The line across the field has been on the batches of the 1940 U.S. Federal Census which I have done.   That must have been the usual indication for identical information.   Mary Scott

I've seen ditto marks in past censuses while indexing. However, in the 1940 Census they appear to be just a line in the field. What do y'all think? Joan in NC

My granddaughter did indexing for a lot of community service, but it is important to get prior approval so that you know ahead of time that these type of service hours are acceptable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary S.

Go for it. You could make it a clear "community" service by having her work on the 1940 Census indexing. Maybe her "state" is not yet finished - you could concentrate on that. 1940 Census index has a clear community feel, is done in cooperation with the National Archives etc. On Sun, Jul 1, 2012 at 1:58 PM, Maureen Lake <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning, all, > > I have a young member in our ward who is in need of court-ordered community service.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I will certainly put the suggestion about working with the blind to her. She might also help out at the local organization for the handicapped. Our stake president is with the public defenders office here and he thinks the indexing might work. She's going to check with the court, but I would take her to the FHC with me for three or four days to confirm her hours and work. Then a letter from the bishop (on letterhead) should cover it. Maureen

What about your local blind support group? They always need help and have experience with CS workers. Contact Ottilie at www.njcounciloftheblind.org. for more information. Tell her I gave you this info. Otttilie was a teacher who lost her vision and found a wonderful purpose for her life in serving others who suffered vision loss. She's a FUN lady!

What about helping out at your nearest NJ or American Council of the Blind support group? We always can use an extra hand. Contact www.njcounciloftheblind.org. to find a site.

Sometimes public libraries take in court ordered service assignments. You can check there if it could be done there.

You would want to check with the courts that it would be approved - I knwo some places have certain places that have applied to have community service workers and are audited and have a special stamp, and there is a whole process when it is court ordered...

I think indexing would work well and you never know they may just become an avid indexer and do far more than their 18 hours. Just my opinion.

Good morning, all, I have a young member in our ward who is in need of court-ordered community service. Since the numbers are measurable, can anyone think of a reason why indexing wouldn't work as community service? She needs 18 hours, so I estimated it at 36-40 batches to meet that time. Thanks.

I have a person that was born in England and I am trying to help a sister enter it into NFS. I am not familiar with places in England. I have birth index that says Registration district is Wortley, Inferred County is Yorkshire West Riding. I was also told he was born in Sheffied England. When I start to enter the choices I get are: Wortley, Yorkshire, England Or Sheffied, Yorkshire, England Wortley, Yorkshire West Riding, England Which would be the correct place? Thanks Nancy

England has many more subdivisions than we do in the U.S. West Riding is the title of a civil admistrative district. I would check to see if Wortly is near Sheffield. It. May be a sub district of Sheffield. The locations in England should still be recorded city, county, state. Therefore I would use either Wortly, Yorkshire, England or. Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. Whichever is the most correct.
