It does not work to attach to grandchildren or nieces/nephews or aunts/uncles in such a US Census household, even when these individuals' relationships are well delineated in FS-FamilyTree, and will not work at all for records where the nuclear-family relationships are not spelled out and indexed.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-33453276505102446712014-04-22T08:29:08.253-07:002014-04-22T08:29:08.253-07:00I learned how to do this just yesterday!

I normally work on Family Tree through Legacy but a friend of mine who works at the local Family History Center showed me how to do this up on FamilySearch. Nifty!

It ...Thanks for the tutorial on this beta feature.<br /><br />It can only be used for records that are indexed with nuclear-family relationships noted. It won't work, for instance, for a grandchild of head of household.<br /><br />And it won't work for documents in which multiple relationships are noted, such as wills, applications for administration of estates, etc., which are not every-name indexed on FS-Historical Records (and certainly not indexed as to the relationships such as grandchildren or nieces/nephews).<br /><br />I wonder if it would work for some of the new groups of obituaries being indexed.<br /><br />So your assertion, "It should make the "Source Box" feature obsolete in the coming months" is rather, er, premature. Note that there presently is no way in FamilySearch-FamilyTree to 'tag' relationships in sources other than (on child-parents page) a child-parent(s) relationship, or (on couple-relationship page) a marital relationship. There is no way to designate a source as pertaining to a grandchild, grandfather, niece, uncle, etc.<br /><br />One can presently attach a page of an unindexed document to a person as attachment to a source-citation, but there is no built-in way to designate its meaning other than in descriptive text.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
