Perhaps some of other consultants can give me some advice.   This winter I created some family trees on Ancestry for each of my grandparents. I uploaded a GedCom file for each grandparent from my PAF file.   I made four trees because of the way I have my databases organized but the main reason is because each one of my grandparents has a different heritage (Sweden, Canada and the British Isles, Netherlands/Germany, and Quaker from American colonies and the British Isles).   It has been fun searching for the various documents available on Ancestry. It has been exciting to see new sources that I found to support my data and to increase my knowledge about these family members. Of course I also have added the sources which I already had in my PAF database.   Now I am wondering how I can add these sources to my PAF or to my Ancestral Quest databases.   Do I need to buy Ancestry's computer software to sync between my online family trees and my databases.   I already use Ancestral Quest to sync between my databases and Family Tree to add the ordinance dates and temples codes.   Have any of you worked on this type of task with an online tree on the Ancestry website?   I am interested in hearing from some of you.   Thanks for your time. Looking forward to your insights and sharing of your experiences.   Mary Scott Aurora, Illinois

If possible have them to to your local Family History Library, so everyone can be in front of a computer and do hands on with the trained individuals at the library.

Has anyone done a class on Indexing? My relief society wants to do an evening class teaching about indexing. I haven't done it in a while. I have seen a couple of short videos on family search. Any suggestions for a class? Thanks Nancy in MI

I have the same problem, how do we educate the ones who see a name the same as ours and combine without checking dates, wives, children etc.  It is so frustrating and I feel your pain.  I can only hope that Family Tree with time will develop the tools to separate completely these wrong names that have been combined.  I still can not get the ordinances back on the record for my family, but I do have the correct names together and their children, but the other husbands and wives are still showing, mainly because the mergers sealed my great great grandfather to women he never knew.  He only had one wife and 12 children and they have him with 3 or 4 wives and his wife with 5 husbands, some born in the 1600s.  I'm as frustrated with this problem as you are and Family Search must be too.  I just don't understand why it is such a complicated thing to simple take the wrong people off the record. But, I am not a computer scientist, so will wait and see.  I know it is all done correctly and the Lord knows, Good luck to us all, with these glitches and please educate the patrons as to merging and the damage it does when done wrong.

Thanks, that's what I needed. I was able to get to the link just fine, but they used to have a problem solving page that was certainly easier to find and more helpful. One would think that you should be able to access it while in the tree and not have to go out to do so. Further, average dopes like me wouldn't think to call it "product support" but that's just me.

If you have the correct ordinances you can get them back on the correct record using third party software (AncestralQuest, Legacy, RootsMagic, FamilyInsight). I have had to do this several times. I know it is not supposed to work any more but I have been successful lately using AncestorSplit to uncombine miscombined records.

Below is information I am receiving from a researcher in Lithuania. However I think I need more information to show some type of source. Any suggestions on what to ask him for? Thanks Nancy Charles's father, Motiejus (in document is written as Mateušas) Minkelis was born on September 17th, 1867 in Švobiškiai village in a family of Motiejus Minkelis and Marijona Miškauskaitė.

You're forgetting one detail. Less than 10 percent of active LDS are doing family work. Stake method is one way to prod the other 90 percent to do their family work.

There may be some confusion. The First Presidency letter last year said...get your cards done that you've been holding onto forever. (except fancier) It echoed Elder Scott's remarks in conference. The recent discussion has been about the concern that a few temples are creating drawers for cards (including newly minted cards) for stake patrons to use instead of using the temple provided slips (which come from recently "shared" ordinances by members.) The concern was that temple patrons would continually be using these old and newly minted cards at the expense of folks who had legitimately contributed to the temple file expecting a reasonable turn around since names are sent to the closest temple of the submitter. Two different issues. Michele In a message dated 5/16/2013 11:14:48 P.M.

Can someone out there console me? William McCord had a 200 page book written about him and his descendants. While he died intestate and was before census records, he was a Kentucky pioneer. Land and other records make the connections. The book used meticulous research and I contributed to it with many other fine researchers. I did his temple work 30 years ago.

I am a bit confused about the discussion on this list about a letter sent from the 1st Presidency concerning files of printed temple cards maintained at the Temple. I attended the Dallas Texas Temple tonight and found that they did have files of printed temple cards and there were a few for my stake.  >I would like to see the contents of this letter so I can understand exactly what it is saying. Perhaps I misunderstood.  >Thank you. >Karen > >
