Hi: I have been on the familysearch site many times but I did not realize this service existed. Where on their site can it be found. Thank you

Originally, I donated to the Ellis Island site, but never found anyone I search for on it. For one thing, you have to keep subtracting ages from years, to determine if one of 50 possible hits is your family. Too much second thinking. Barb -----Original Message----- From: Pat Connors via [email protected] I had the same impression. I tried to search for a passenger and was totally surprised at the new site. It was impossible to use and I feel pretty good at searching. Horrible site. I actually found the record on Ancestry which is usually harder for me to search for passenger records.

Hi Meghan, There is always the *possibility* of transcription errors when volunteers view handwritten records decades old then keyboard them into print, no matter how careful the reader is. When I go to the Municipal Archives with friends, and we view BMDs on microfilm, we consistently ask each other to view each other's microfilm images, to confirm what the handwritten c copy says. For example, there are times you want a child's BC but only if the parents are X and Y. That's one way to determine the right from wrong family certificate. Other than historical newspaper sites, or visuals of original documents online, most of what you read online are transcriptions.

Thanks for the info all - I submitted a different request this morning and already received an image back which is unbelievably fast.

Gmail is driving me crazy, I hate it, but on AOL a while back i was hardly getting any list emails. Does it look like this has been fixed? anybody???

I have only used it once, but that was last month. I did not get an email confirm (and did not get one for the ones I ordered 2 days ago) but I did get the records I asked for. Maybe they just eliminated the email confirm since you get a message on the site that it went through OK On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 6:03 AM, Meghan McLoone via <[email protected]> wrote: > I recently started researching again after a little hiatus and requested 3 > records from the FamilySearch photoduplication website.

I just tried to sign in to review an immigration file I had found before as one of the names on that register has popped up in the family and I wanted to review the manifest. !st I was unable to sign in under my old acct info. I sent a request for my PW but by then it had assigned me a new acct...I JUST finally got someone to return my call (212-561-4588) and spoke to someone who is involved in all the website changes and they are anxious to hear about issues people are having. In my mind they have made the site virtually unusable. What they have done is made it so that people can no longer "snip" and thus copy document info. I explained to them that I figured that was the reason for the change but that at their prices, no one is going to buy documents, especially when they cannot get a good enough look at the document to see if it is their own people. Please EVERYONE go to the site, and then let them know how you feel about these new changes. BTW links to these documents from familysearch.org no longer work either. I let them know that and also tried to get a message through to familysearch.org as well. I am very irritated at this as in my mind, they have made the site so difficult to get around and made it so difficult to examine the documents as to have rendered the website virtually useless. PLEASE let them know what you don't like about the new site as they are still in BETA and can make changes, but they cannot make changes if they don't know what the complaints are...so please contact them so they can get this site better designed for us, the customers.

Hi Meghan, I've had great success with the photoduplication service, but they don't always send a confirmation email. Lately they've been pretty quick and I've been very grateful for the service, it's a great help! I don't think you need to resend.

I recently started researching again after a little hiatus and requested 3 records from the FamilySearch photoduplication website. It changed since the last time I used it and I am wondering if 2 of my requests actually went through. I received an email confirmation for one of my requests but not the other 2. The requests were submitted within minutes of each other so I figured I would have received confirmations by now. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you think I should submit again? Thanks for the advice, Meghan

Meghan, I had a similar experience to Michael's - excellent, very fast results, but not always a confirmation. In fact, I wrote a note once in the comments section of one request about a confusing and conflicting issue, and they sent me a document. I forgot about it, frankly, because the doc they sent was relevant. Several *weeks* later, I received an email responding to the comment. They had continued looking into it, and someone came up with the answer, and another document, and a link explaining it! Amazed!!!
