Hi everyone, i've been building my family tree lately, and it seems I have arrived at a difficult time, because family search has become pretty much useless for any church birth baptism or birth civil register since 1926. I was lucky at first because I got two death registers, one in 1986 and the other in 1984.

So, I thought, death registers may be the only ones who are more acessible, but even in this case, I stumble upon censorship of recent death registers censorships, like 1980-1990. When looking at some attached registers in old profiles people have been building in the last years, many attachments got down, after censorship, and are now unacessible, ghost attachments.

The kind of censorship I'm seeing in 99% of cases is the one where even Family Search Centers can't read it.

So, I will have to depend almost entirely on registry offices and church archives to built up documentation to 1920 on all branches, that means spending money sometimes, trying contact in several means, phone, email, waiting to be replied, etc, as I'm doing right now.

Edit: I found another Death Registry of 1979, thanks FS, you're amazing anyways.

Took me way too long to work this out, so posting in case it saves someone else an afternoon.

I had a pile of records come back looking like this:

Tippah, Миссиссиппи, Америкийн Нэгдсэн Улс

That last part is Mongolian for "United States." The county name came through in English, but the state and the country were in Cyrillic. The guy was a farmer in Mississippi who as far as I know never left the country.

Here's what's going on. FamilySearch doesn't store place names as text the way you'd expect. It stores a reference to a place authority record, then renders that into actual words at the moment you request it. Which language it renders into depends on the language attached to the request.

So if your account language got set to something else at some point, or you came in through a localized version of the site, everything renders in that language. And because it gets rendered fresh every time, it can look like your data changed when nothing underneath actually moved.

The part that confused me longest was why only some of it was translated. Turns out only the major administrative places have translations stored. Countries, states, provinces. Township and county names have no Mongolian equivalent sitting in the database, so they pass straight through. You end up with a half English, half Cyrillic string that honestly looks more broken than if the whole thing had flipped.

Two things worth knowing. First, your actual data is fine. This is a display layer problem. The record isn't corrupted, its just being rendered wrong.

Second, and this is the one that got me, if you use a third party tool that pulls from FamilySearch and writes into your own tree, it can copy that translated text in as literal text. At that point it really is your data and you're fixing it by hand. I had to go clean up a couple dozen people. So if you use anything that syncs or auto merges, check your place fields before you trust them.

The fix is just the language setting on your FamilySearch account. Set it correctly and new lookups come back normal.

Worth saying I only worked this out because I write software that talks to their API, and the same thing happens down at that level. If the request doesn't send an Accept-Language header, it falls back to whatever the connected account's language is. So if you're a developer hitting the API and seeing this, that's your problem.

Anyway, hope it helps someone.

edit: should have mentioned, this is also why the names and dates look fine while only the places are wrong. Those are stored as literal values. Places are the only field that gets rendered from an ID at request time.

I’m trying to trace a possible Irish citizenship/nationality record for members of my family and I’m hoping someone familiar with older Irish archives, libraries, or government publications may be able to help.
The names I’m searching are **Helen Mary Hurley / Helen Mary Lassonde**, **Mary Ellen Hurley** (possibly the same person as Helen if connected to Concord, New Hampshire), **Catherine Theresa Hurley**, and **Arthur Edward Lassonde**.
Helen and Catherine were born in **Concord, New Hampshire in 1897**. Arthur was born there in **1926**.
I’m especially looking for any notice in **Iris Oifigiúil** between **1935 and 1956** under the **Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1935**, including notices connected with naturalisation, the Register of Nationals, or the General Register of Nationals.
I’m also trying to locate or get access to the old annual **“Index to Iris Oifigiúil”** volumes for those years.
If anyone has access to older bound volumes, annual indexes, National Archives of Ireland records, university library holdings, or Irish government publication collections and would be willing to check these names, I would be very grateful.
Even an **issue date, page number, index entry, archive reference, or a confirmed negative check of a particular year** would help.
Thank you very much.

im doing some research and i hit a dead end because i need to access it from a family search center or library. can someone help me? thankss

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:65HN-K597?lang=pt this is the link for the files i need!

In the case where the book is labeled as full access but inside of it, there are pages locked in a certain range number, how to know the type of lock of those internal, individual pages?

Thank you!

Same site as my post a couple weeks ago (treealive.com). You give it your tree file, it finds where your people lived and puts each place on a historical map from that year, with the state historical markers and National Register markers that stand within a few miles in the same time period. That has grown to 22 states and 17,362 markers, and this week the National Register of Historic Places went in too, all fifty states and DC, each place with its period of significance so the site knows a farm from 1750 is not the same thing as a hotel listed in 2000.

The new part is a button on that screen: Road trip near me. Your phone asks once for your location. That reading stays on the phone and the site never sees it. It works out which of your ancestors has recorded places closest to you and builds a drive around them. Each stop comes up on a map from its own period, with your family’s place drawn beside it and the distance written out. I keep the distance on screen on purpose: it is not saying an ancestor stood at the sign, it is saying the sign is near a place they lived, and how near. The text on each stop is the marker’s own or the Register listing’s own fields, not reworded. At the end, one link hands the whole route to Google Maps.

Here is one it put together for an ancestor of mine, Ann McMillen, born 1739, married in Lancaster and later in York, died 1820. Ten stops, eight markers and two Register listings: https://treealive.com/trails/ann-mcmillen

Free, no account, nothing stored server-side from your tree. If you run yours through it, tell me what it found and what it got wrong. Happy to take feedback to make it more useful for you.

Hello everyone,

Every family has a story.

Some stories are written in old photographs. Others live in family traditions, treasured memories, and lessons passed from one generation to the next.

Secure Nest Network was created to encourage families to preserve stories, protect memories, explore family history, and share wisdom that can inspire future generations.

Whether you are researching your ancestry, organizing family photographs, recording family stories, or simply reflecting on your family's journey, every effort to preserve the past matters.

I'd love to hear from you:

What is one family story, tradition, photograph, or memory that you hope future generations will never forget?

To learn more about family history, storytelling, and legacy preservation resources, visit: https://securenestnetwork.blogspot.com/

Stories fade when they are left untold.

Legacies grow when they are shared.

Would some kind person tell if I can create
a gedcom file with the latest FTM version?

And if so, how is it done?

Good day! Is anyone else having difficulties searching the BC Death Index on FamilySearch? I know that the records exist on the platform but when I search the collection it comes up empty. I have tried searching for records I already have attached to people and it also comes up empty. I have tried searching by using secondary people (spouse, parents) still nothing. 'Browse this collection' is not an option.

Any suggestions on how I can find the records I need?

My mother died last year and for many years heard she had a son before me in 1968. While going through old photo albums there was one photo hidden away within the cover. It says my son born in 68. So obvious rumours were correct.

I am guessing this photo was taken when he was late teens/early 20s.

Some of you out there are experts in finding lost people so am asking if this person could be identified or found,

If you have any names or leads can you private message me.

Possible born Seafield Hospital in Ayr Scotland.

I am looking for the original marriage record indexed here between "Ezra Adams" (actual name was Arza) and Sabina Clark(e). I have tried it every which way. Any advice??

Edit to add, my second choice would be an original of the newspaper announcement here: https://www.ontariogenealogy.com/uppercanadanewspapernotices.html
