    Even advanced genealogists will benefit from this video. Robert eloquently describes insights to correctly use the “tools” of Hints and the FamilySearch Source Linker.
  • Omg! Thank you so much. I wondered how to FIX incorrect information. I needed this to be able to continue my fun work on our genealogy.
  • @BillTxn
    Very, very helpful. These are procedures that I have been mystified about for years, and this tutorial answers many questions. I have saved it to watch again!
  • THANK YOU! I am new to Family Search and have been so confused as to how things work. This was perfect......Are you doing more????

  • @derwentriver2065
    I found this instruction material extremely helpful. If there is no error correction video already available, may I suggest a series of short videos that explain the rectification of common problems? For example, I have a father who married twice, and some children have been attached to the incorrect mother. There must be many simple error scenarios.

    This cleared up a lot of questions I had when trying to attach census records especially!
  • Es super interesante encontrar registros para mi árbol familiar . me encantaria tener este material pero si fuera en Español mucho mejor..
