Your ordering of steps was so very helpful. Undoing merges has always been a scary thought. Not wanting to take that route, I suspect I made things messier than they needed to be. Loved your point about going back to the originally intended person. You're right, correcting (disconnecting) relationships is not intuitive, to me, and your explanation cleared up a couple of points. You present in a very forgiving nonjudgmental way which is greatly appreciated. 99.9% of folks are trying to get it right. We are always learning, whether it better ways research, or how the best way to use the wonderful technology within FamilySearch site. Thank You.
I really appreciate the addition of the Collaboration space, as well as the NOTICE button, so that if I think you made a mistake (because there are no sources-argh!) then I can question it, and you can let me know how you came to that conclusion. Did this just yesterday, with a marriage. Again, records are sooo important. Thank you for your seminar. 😊
Always an EXCELLENT presentation. However i was looking in the Description for your Link to download the screen stacks that you mentioned would be in the Description…. but it was not-there So i took a screen Pic of the last slide that has your Goldenrod web site URL to copy down and go to. Thanks again for theTips and Reminders and updates!
I was hoping there was a magic wand, or at least a flag to prevent more people from merging to a person who is already in multiple countries with a dozen spouses at the same time in the 1800's. Merging is so much easier than unmerging errors it seems.
The site is getting worse. Today I went to look at some census and can't even find a link. I've had it with FS. Between the crappy users and the forever changes formats I've had enough. GRRRRRRRRRR!

Thank you for this session. It was very informative and I will have to go back and review.

I loved the help on how to fix a big problem!

I find that if I put an ALERT note on the person's profile that people are more cautious about working / changing it.

ironically I came here to find out how to correct two Elizabeth Grants in FamSearch! We're probably distant cousins!
