Sorry to disagree with you on this one Shanna, but the View Related Places feature is not on the new site, which is a major headache and a half for those of user conducting foreign research. I can't even count the number of times I have gone to View Related Places to figure out a place name.

Agree and they use the same format with all the other census records when you search. Why doesn't someone TELL the engineers (who may not be genealogists)?

The way they are mushing all of the people with same/similar names together, it will triple the time--at least--for us to find related things in the data base, especially as it grows. Sorry to complain, but when it comes to putting in specific places like Union county, Tennessee and having to wade through things like Canada and Britain, just because the names being sought are similar.

That's good news! and Pam, I agree with you.  Sometimes the records are horrible to read and as an arbitrator sometimes we see a third possibility too...  It's a wonder FSI is able to coordinate that many helpful people and produce a cohesive and pretty accurate work for researchers to go through!

I have had a LOT more compassion for indexers since I started help indexing and especially since I started arbitrating. It is not so easy to criticize now that I am making the decision as to what shows up. That is why I am indexing and arbitrating my head off so that I can contribute as accurate a record as possible. I read and reread and reread and reread the instructions and the updates so that I follow them as accurately as possible. Some of the instructions are buried pretty deep down inside and are hard to find. I am sure many people do not dig deep enough and read all the instructions. They are probably upset when I ding them but they have not followed "the rules". I know the work that is being done is important and that many miracles will need to happen for it all to come together but oh my goodness, look how far we have come in the last 10 years!!!! ~Pam

When you do searches, do you take advantage of the "Exact" box in the search boxes that need to be exact? I am NOT a fan of the search capabilities at familysearch.org but I have been using the exact boxes, where it makes a difference, and it has helped weed out lots of the riff raff I am not interested in.

The 1880 census with all of the data, i.e. each household together with their ages, relationships, and birthplaces I assume will now be entirely lost from the site. The new version is absolutely terrible as it doesn't show birthplaces unless you bring up each and every individual--what a pain. When something works well, leave it alone. If you want to spend the money for ancestry I guess you can get it there. After all of the work I personally spent on indexing the 1880 census and having it so available and in such beautiful form we now have a terrible mishmash in presentation. That is probably why I don't do much indexing at all any more.

I take it all back. If I "Search All Records" the 1880 census DOES come up, and it is searchable household by household. Fabulous. However, one must search on "All Records" and not just celect "Census". That is the only way it will work. Thanks for all the feedback.

Okay, maybe this is a dumb question.....if I go to _www.familysearch.org...I_ (http://www.familysearch.org...I) go there because I want to use all the free records, look at the digitized books, etc. They are still going to have that aren't they?

Actually they aren't. You will see what the public see, including errors. You will not able to fix errors in "Family Tree". You have to go to new.familysearch side to fix them. That includes the mis-merges, wrong dates, places, wrong spouses, etc. What you can do, submit for ordinances in Family Tree, not in new.FamilySearch. I already asked about that.

all word lists are already in the Wiki along with all guides. The guides are so outdated, based on pre-internet access to records. The main page of new format: at top of the page are FamilySearch (it is clickable), Learn, FamilySearch Centers, Indexing, Blog "Family Tree" shows up between FamilySearch and and Learn when you sign in. and inside white area, there is another line Records, Trees, Catalog, Books Trees are those from Ancestral file and Pedigree Resource Files Books are the ones digitalized and contains more than 45,000 books. Now to where word lists and guides are... Go to "Learn" link Then to Research Wiki. You won't find "Guides" there. They had been broken down to sections, within state pages. They are now labeled Topics.

"We've heard from many of you telling us that the link to the Classic FamilySearch site no longer appears on the home page. This was not intentional, and we apologize for the premature removal of this link. However, after careful consideration, we've decided not to replace it. The reason for this is because in the very near future, we will remove the Classic FamilySearch site entirely. When that happens, the link to that site will no longer be needed. The shutdown of the Classic FamilySearch site will take place after we have completed the addition of some of our improved and new site features. We also need to finish transferring all of our data to the new site. Until we make that move, you can still get to the Classic FamilySearch by typing classic.familysearch.org." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cathe Taylor Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] large temple ordinance files Hi, I have a question about the Classis Familysearch site which contained the 1880 re-indexed U. S Census. Can if be found anywhere in the same format where one can search neighboring households page by page? The original on Ancestry is much harder to read and search and I miss the other? Help! I have contacted familysearch support and no one seems to know anything about it. Cathe in Colorado

What about all the reference helps that were on the previous site? Are they still going to be available does anyone know? I have referred lots of "newbies" to that to get help they can download and use at home.
