familysearch a global experience at ngs2017gen the 2017 national genealogical society conference wrapped up last saturday and after a couple of articles so will i diane loosely of familysearch spoke at the familysearch luncheon her title was familysearch a global experience she described three definitions of global for which familysearch is global one definitions of global refers to world wide global reach diane showed us a familysearch booklet my family stories that bring us together it is available in 66 languages familysearch has 5 000 family history centers located in 33 countries they offer support to patrons in 13 languages familysearch operates cameras in countries across the globe they have 5 6 billion names published online from many countries they publish an additional 2 million names a day diane showed a video preserving and accessing the records of the world documenting record destruction in the philippines resulting from super typhoon yolanda one town s records indeed all the town offices were completely destroyed all that was left was the cement floor of the building because familysearch had photographed their records familysearch was able to restore all the records to them diane said that familysearch is gathering the genealogies of villages in africa that today are preserved only by rememberers aging village elders have memorized the genealogies of the village many are old and their knowledge is perishing with them in the case of 95 year old opanin kwame nketia familysearch interviewed him and documented 12 generations and 1 000 people a couple of days later when they returned to thank him they discovered he had passed way diane said that 50 years ago familysearch canvassed mexico filming their records it is thought that today 15 to 20 of those records have perished another sense of the word global is the idea of operating on a whole set of things to find and search all of familysearch s records you have to know a few ways of accessing the records diane showed a kentucky probate collection containing 12 000 names and nearly a million images obviously familysearch had not completely indexed the collection to access all the records you have to be prepared to browse through the images like you would microfilm she also pointed out that some records are accessed only through the catalog another sense of the word global is embracing the whole of something we feel a responsibility to help everyone discover their family history she said she shared the quote from the emory university study stating that the more children know about their family s history the stronger their sense of control over their lives and the higher their self esteem familysearch recently remodeled the first floor of the salt lake family history library to appeal to a younger generation diane shared the well known quote of alex haley in all of us there is a hunger marrow deep to know our heritage to know who we are and where we have come from without this enriching knowledge there is a hollow yearning no matter what our attainments in life there is still a vacuum an emptiness and the most disquieting loneliness she then challenged us to choose a person we would like to introduce to family history prepare beforehand then go and give them a meaningful experience with family history note i was interested in where one might find alex haley s original quote as very few people cite the source barbara renick in her book genealogy 101 how to trace your family s history and heritage thomas nelson inc 2003 is the only source i could find who cited a source what roots means to me reader s digest may 1977 73 74 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 1 comments subjects conferences familysearch friday may 12 2017 darned page order tracy reinhart is a long time researcher who remembers way back when accessing the census meant scrolling through microfilm long ago she discovered her braford ancestors family in cannon kent michigan was one of those split across pages in a census online publishers like ancestry and familysearch have to identify these split families and join them back together that s a fairly straightforward process unless you run into the situation tracy ran into recently part of the 1870 census for cannon kent co mich was not filmed in page order she told me as a result when a family list carries over from one page to the next you will find wrong family associations she found that for cannon kent michigan image 28 on ancestry com is page 28 and ends with the henry wolaver family image 29 on ancestry com is page 30 notice page 29 was skipped it starts with emma braford since emma has no family or dwelling numbers we know that she belongs to the family on the previous page because the pages were filmed in the wrong order ancestry erroneously places her in the henry wolaver family this page ends with the harry or harvy haines family image 30 on ancestry com is page 31 which correctly continues with mary haines image 31 on ancestry com is page 29 the skipped page it ends with the a b brayford family i was interested to see how familysearch handled this situation researchers with access to both ancestry com and familysearch org universally advise using ancestry com for census research and the 1870 census on familysearch org is a good illustration of why if you search for cannon kent michigan you get everyone living in the entire state of michigan if you don t know where your person lived but you somehow find them familysearch doesn t indicate where the person was the only advantage i see for searching familysearch s 1870 census is that in a search you can specify another family member in the other person field that s not possible on ancestry but i digress as i compared familysearch org with ancestry com i noticed several interesting things the image order on familysearch org matches ancestry com familysearch didn t erroneously combine the wolaver and braford families but they also didn t correctly join the the two parts of the brayford braford family while ancestry has 31 images for cannon kent michigan familysearch has 32 ancestry has left out one of the pages from the microfilm i ve seen familysearch do the same thing neither company discloses the censure the companies deem the image to have no genealogical value so they delete it this is a very bad practice there is no guarantee the decision maker understands advanced methodologies that may require a knowledge of the existence of that page its contents or the lack thereof a little looking showed this particular page is facing page 31 on folio 139 it has no names on it the digital folder number 004271429 and image number 00268 for emma bradford on familysearch org match the image url on ancestry com https www ancestry com interactive 7163 4271429_00268 that s kind of techie but the takeaway is that ancestry seems to be using familysearch images familysearch misindexed the name braford on page 30 as bradford ancestry did not ancestry doesn t seem to be using familysearch s index i see several lessons we should draw from this if you don t find your ancestor on one website check others search several images forward and backward from your ancestor your ancestor s name can be spelled differently by the same person in the same record look at and try to understand all the information on a page when the day comes that we no longer have access to microfilm there will be errors that we can no longer detect or overcome everybody makes mistakes
