    1. Getting Ready to Submit Names in new FamilySearch Or things I wish I knew about nFS before I made the mistakes

    2. Disclaimer Going to talk about a lot of things Purpose is to expose you to them Not to fully explain Take good notes there will be an oral quiz at the end Nahh – I just want you to be aware that these things exist and have an idea of how to access them.

    3. Pre Registration Gather records – Research vital records etc Organize in a Genealogical Records Management Software database such as PAF, Ancestral Quest, Roots Magic, Legacy etc. Determine Accuracy Verify against Primary Source if possible Proof standard equal to Civil Case – prosecute on a Preponderance of evidence Use multiple sources if other than primary Standardize Provide death info if under 110 yrs old Place data – city, county, state, country – Where on can find the records Family Insight – free at FHC If place data is different than standard save to notes Obtain permission from nearest living relative if under 95 yrs old Search for and combine all duplicates

    4. Genealogy has to make sense Analyze your data for aptness and accuracy

    5. Man marries age 25 Woman marries age 21 First child born within first year of marriage Subsequent Children every two years thereafter Married Children often moved to wife’s home area People moved for economic reasons – crop failure, fire, storm, war etc. People used established routes of migration Pedigree Analysis – Rule of Thumb

    8. Analysis of Hale Pedigree Allan born 1 year after marriage Stan married at age 28 Doris married at age 32 Stan’s father aged 51 when Stan born Why -- Second marriage First marriage 1886 – He and daughter became sick and wife nursed them but she died in 1889 Grandpa saw Eula but she too young – waited for 20 years then married. Eva Belle O’Connell – Guardian relationship with Maitland Alvin Johnson

    9. Offline database Where you keep most accurate information Research ideas Data for your Book of Remembrance Photos

    10. New FamilySearch Where you submit names for ordinances It may have spelling errors, place errors, etc Will become a good research tool Place to retain substantiating records (census, birth, death , marriage etc)

    11. Register in nFS Obtain Individual Ordinance Summary Membership number Confirmation date Register @ www.new.familysearch.org After printing your information press “DONE”

    14. Password recovery questions Program does NOT know what hospital you were born in, what street your were raised on, or the name of your oldest sibling. Choose questions and answers that are simple for you to remember.

    16. nFS Database Membership Records Temple Records IGI Other Temple Records Ancestral File Pedigree Resource File (disc 1 – 85)

    18. Who can I see in nFS

    20. Claim Legacy to submissions prior to new.FamilySearch.og Claim Information That You Contributed If you find information that you originally contributed to Ancestral File, to the Pedigree Resource File, or for temple work, you can claim it so that you can correct or delete it. When you claim information, you claim all of the information that was in the original submission. You do not need to claim each individual or piece of information separately. However, if you submitted information more than once, such as to Ancestral File and the Pedigree Resource File, you do need to claim each submission separately.

    25. For multi generation LDS There probably will be duplicates. Combine them But be careful not to combine wrong people

    26. Multi-Generation LDS Myths My (Aunt, Grandmother, Cousin, etc) has been doing genealogy for the last 30, 50 etc) years. And The work is all done. And Mormons are good genealogists

    27. Multi Generation LDS -- Truths Many faithful LDS follow the counsel of our leaders Since baptism for the dead was revealed many have performed the work for Ancestors And their cousin did it. And their Great Aunt did it. Mistakes have been made and repeated And repeated And repeated

    28. More Truths – maybe? Many LDS submitters are really “gatherers” copying the work of others Therefore perpetuate errors and myths Some one else did the work therefore it is free for the taking and it is accurate

    29. If you cite someone else's work give them the credit (or blame)

    30. Our job Clean up the database If someone else suggested it then find the source and prove it. Genealogy without sources is called Mythology Primary (recorded at the time of the event) sources are best (Birth Death, Marriage etc) If secondary sources are used then try to use multiple sources. (Census, Index, Obit, etc)

    31. Pedigree Analysis – Rule of Thumb Man marries age 25 Woman marries age 21 First child born within first year of marriage Subsequent Children every two years thereafter Married Children often moved to wife’s home area People moved for economic reasons – crop failure, fire, storm, war etc. People used established routes of migration

    32. Duplicates Analyze the data – see rule of thumb Combine records – Be careful – analyze analyze

    33. Example Duplicate Individual

    38. Example Multiple parents

    45. Analysis of Jason Bigelow Perry * denotes multiple parents Middle name indicates probably mother is Abigail Bigelow Compare Step mother’s death vs Jason’s birth. Because I did not create the data on Jason’s relationship to stepmother I cannot change it only dispute it

    46. Individual of Unusual Size Everybody wants to be descended from Famous people Most of royalty descendants are from illegitimate children – Why would you want to admit that! Charlemagne born 742 326 entries before I found one recorded as female First possible candidate – 1328 records

    48. Searched 325+ records before I found him listed as a female (There are many more groups of records) Each of those records was a combined record of several records – over 325 groups of combined records = IOUS An attempt to combine IOUS may cause the system to crash. Artificial cap of 150 combined records Working to fix it. However, Medieval dept working of straightening out records prior to 1500 and will publish soon.

    58. Submitting names

    62. Tips about Submitting Ordinances

    67. Selecting names Once you have found those who need ordinances – go to that person Francis Towne Hale Search for duplicates

    74. For the purposes of this demonstration I am going to say these are not duplicates

    83. Take FOR to temple and they will print card PLEASE select up to 50 names on each FOR Completed Ordinances ordinarily will appear on nFS within hours.

    84. What I really did Because the previously record found in advanced possible duplicates I removed the name from the Reserved list. Combined the two records.

    87. Review Prepare names -- Research Record in PAF – Data entry Prove the data – more research Register on nFS Find the person Combine all duplicates If still qualified then submit
