If we add new data to NFS, will it appear in Family Tree also?

After merging, the Sealing to Parents or Sealing to Spouse ordinance is lost. Engineering is working on this critical issue. If you find this situation, call support and they will dispatch it to Church Headquarters. Shanna

I think you have to contact them with each PID and give them the sealing date and temple and they rectify it. But that is so much work when there are so many names.

If you know they've been done, don't re-do them. Eventually they'll get it sorted out. But I agree it is frustrating in the meantime.

This has gone on for sometime and I have contacted them about it but nothing seems to happen.

Did anyone pay attention today? The right column switched places. W. David Samuelsen

I know that last week at the temple, there were some names that showed up in both Chinese and English, so at least someone's names are getting through reasonably coorectly.

I had some of our names in, in both English and Chinese - same for the cities - written in both languages etc. Now they are only displaying in English. Even when I flip Family Tree over to display in Chinese - it is not picking up the written Chinese versions of the names, locations - and is displaying the English only - with the host site being all in Chinese. I see that they are not displaying in nFS either. Is that information not carrying over in the merge of nFS and Family Tree?

Control and scroll does work, but you can also go to the upper right hand corner of the page and choose the icon that looks like a gear.

Thanks for the responses. The problem is that I have lots of notes from PAF, in the Silicon Valley Users Group format from the 1990s, and two patrons I work with have similar existing notes in the PAF files their parents did. We are unable to see how to enter these sources into Family Tree. As I mentioned, in the interest of making the source material readily available, and since the sources are not in proper bibliographic format, it looks like the best solution is to create custom facts and events under "Other Information" in Family Tree, rather than spending a lot of time worrying about what goes where to fit the format in "Create a Source" in either Source Box or Sources for each person. Here is a screen capture example of how I am cutting/pasting my PAF sources into custom events and facts: http://www.utahrails.net/images/joseph-munich_FS-FT-Sources.jpg I will continue this process for my PAF sources, but will follow the guide lines for proper sourcing for newly discovered information, including using Tree Connect where appropriate. I like the new Family Tree User Guide that just came out, dated May 10, 2013. It has lots of help for sources, on pages 107-134, that we were not aware of before. http://broadcast.lds.org/eLearning/fhd/Community/en/FamilySearch/FamilyTree/pdf/familyTreeUserGuide.pdf Don Strack On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 9:59 PM, W David Samuelsen <dsam52@sampubco.com>wrote: > use TreeConnect for books, any site outside of FamilySearch, and any > databases not having indexes within Records. > > go to RecordSeek.com and follow instruction to add TreeConnect button. > > David Samuelsen > > On 5/27/2013 10:34 AM, Ann Amadori wrote: > > FamilySearch has live Research Assistance available via chat or phone. > > See https://familysearch.org/ask/researchAssistance > > > > Missionaries also answer phone calls to 1-866-406-1830in the US.

Steve, if you receive a response, I'd sure appreciate having it. Seems like everything concerning my computer is getting smaller and smaller.

FamilySearch has live Research Assistance available via chat or phone. See https://familysearch.org/ask/researchAssistance Missionaries also answer phone calls to 1-866-406-1830in the US. Other countries' phone numbers are listed under Get Help at https://familysearch.org/ In addition, these Tree Tips that I have compiled might help someone with sources: I have more if anyone is interested in the whole list of 11. 2. If you want to use a book from books.FamilySearch.org as a source for someone in your Family Tree, be aware that the URL in the top of your browser is temporary. You should be able to find a permanent link to your book, however. Look for the 'Copy Link' button in the top right corner by the title of the book. Click on 'Copy Link'. It opens the permanent link that you can copy by using Ctrl-C. Then you can paste it using Ctrl-V into the web page field of the source you are creating. 3. Use the little 'Copy' button located beside 'My Source Box' on the landing pages of the sources you find in FamilySearch.org. This copies what has been indexed so you can paste the indexed data into the notes field in your source. It does not pick up household information on census records, however. You'll have to copy that separately, if you want it, or click on the name of each member of the family individually and copy what is indexed for each one. You can paste this indexed information into separate sources or into one, as you choose. If you make one source, be sure to attach it to each person mentioned in the source. 4. If you find a source attached to one of your Family Tree ancestors that is not in your Source Box and you want to attach it to a relationship or to someone else, click on the title of the source you want, click on 'view' then add it to your Source Box as you would any other source you find on familysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/>. The entire source, including notes will be copied and you will still be able to tell to whom and to which relationships it has already been attached. 5. Tree Connect is a useful tool for creating sources you find on websites, including <familysearch.org>familysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/>, and putting them in your Source Box. Go to recordseek.com <http://recordseek.com/> and drag the green 'Tree Connect' button to your browser bookmark bar. From a landing page for a source infamilysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/>, findagrave.com <http://www.findagrave.com/>, paid sites like ancestry.com <http://www.ancestry.com/>or another site, click on the 'Tree Connect' button you added to your browser bookmark bar and it will copy the URL, citation and a title into the proper source fields. If you highlight the indexed information on the landing page, it will put that in the Notes field. This utility works in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. I have not found it to work with Internet Explorer. 6. Another use for Tree Connect is to upload images from your computer and create a Source in your Source Box. a. Click on the Tree Connect button in your browser bookmark bar and sign in to familysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/>. b. Skip the first form that appears. Instead, click on Upload Media in the top right corner. From the next screen, click on the green Add Files button, then locate the image/s you would like to use in your source. You can choose more than one at a time. c. Click on the blue Start Upload button. d. Once your file/s have been uploaded, click on the teal colored Create Source button at the bottom of the page. e. Fill in the Title and Notes fields and save to the folder of your choice in your Source Box. 7. It is very important to put a transcription of the source data in the Notes field in Family Tree. If a website outside of FamilySearch disappears, the information from it will persist in Family Tree. Sometimes sources for life events are not available at FamilySearch or anywhere else. The more information we can attach to our ancestors from whatever source available, like a book, gives clues to others and, hopefully, better information will be forthcoming in the future. 8. The link to the Family Tree Training materials, including the webinars on Editing Relationships, Sourcing and Merging, is FamilySearch.org/tree-training <https://familysearch.org/tree-training>. You must be signed in to access them. Another source of help is FamilySearchtraining.com <http://familysearchtraining.com/>, a set of videos used to train missionaries working in the Family History Library in Salt Lake. 9. Be sure to attach sources to your husband-wife AND parent-child relationships to prevent others from coming in behind you and deleting correct relationship data. Ann A.
