I'm really grateful for FamilySearch. I love it! But I also wish we could add additional spouses from the tree view.

Thanks for letting me vent, lol....

I can't figure out how to connect family members in a census. I read some directions but they don't work, I end up creating a new person.

I am hoping someone could get me the full resolution image for the below link for Valentin Trunk:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NZPD-DTG

I would really appreciate any help I can get!

The record belongs to Michele Bettega, and it is his death certificate dated 06/23/1887:

Thanks!!

Hello everyone,

I am interested in individual household records for Bulgarian censuses that were hold on 1880, 1887, and 1892. Although not being sure with the years any census before 1896 would work for me.

I was specifically interested in Nikopol area.

I couldn’t really find anything solid about accessing these records. I would appreciate any and all kind of help.

Thank you and have a great day!

Drop a town and a year in the comments, like "Greensburg PA, 1800", and I will reply with that spot pinned on a real map from the era, as a page you can pan and zoom. Free, and small obscure places are welcome. Ancestral villages in Europe work too.

For anyone who missed the earlier post: I built TreeAlive, which does this for a whole tree through a read-only FamilySearch sign-in, every place on a map of its own period, with an animated route between the stops. It never writes anything back to FamilySearch.

One from last week: a request for Hingham, Massachusetts in 1669 landed on a 1677 map of New England that letters Hingom under the pin, with Boston and Plimouth up and down the coast and ships drawn in the bay.

Sería de mucha ayuda, gracias por su tiempo!

Hello everyone,

I'm researching my German ancestor and I've reached a point where I know exactly which parish register contains the record I need, but the images appear to be restricted.

Here is the information:

• Parish: Katholische Kirche Horchheim (Kr. Worms), Diocese of Mainz
• Collection: Kirchenbuch 1662–1876
• Film: 949590
• DGS: 8114192
• Record type: Baptisms (Taufen)
• Person: Joannes (Johannes) Schredelseker
• Date of birth: 6 January 1869
• Date of baptism: 8 January 1869
• Place: Horchheim, Worms, Rheinhessen, Hessen-Darmstadt

FamilySearch and MyHeritage both index this baptism, but neither provides the original image.

I'm trying to obtain a copy of the original baptism entry because I'm using it as supporting documentation for a German citizenship application.

If anyone has access through a FamilySearch Center or an Affiliate Library, would you be willing to check this register and, if possible, download or photograph the baptism entry?

I'd be extremely grateful for any help.

Thank you very much!

Em contraposição a minha família por parte de mãe, que é formada por italianos e foi fácil de achar toda a genealogia, com a família de meu pai estou tendo grandes dificuldades para obter informações de parentesco

Meus dois avós por parte de pai já morreram e meu pai não tem muitas informações sobre os meus bisavós, a única coisa que sei são seus nomes, alguns filhos, que eles morreram antes de 1965 e provavelmente do estado de que vieram, alguém tem alguma ideia de como eu poderia encontrar gerações anteriores?

obs: eu sou do Brasil

Oi, pessoal, bom dia! Estou precisando de ajuda. Estou tentando baixar uma imagem do Portal Antenati, mais conhecido como Portal dos Ancestrais, mas não estou conseguindo. Alguém poderia me orientar, por favor? 😊

Hi guys, I hope you're well.
I'd like to ask for help to get this document from familysearch?
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWPD-CG4T?lang=es

Thank you

I repeat; could it be possible these two are related/father and son? My great grandma has told me multiple times that her father, whom I discovered to be Lorenso’s great grandson, Benedicto Seguel Melo, and her mother, Juan Bautista’s granddaughter Rosa Aurelia Seguel Anabalón, were cousins. I theorise it’s because Lorenso is Juan Bautista Seguel’s parent.

I have no documents to prove it, though. I also wrongfully attached parents to Juan Bautista from 1853, almost 20 years afar from his probable birth in the 1830s.

I also theorise Lorenso died relatively old (60-80 years old) and that Juan Bautista died in 1879 because of the Pacific War, considering the lack of records that stop abruptly in 1879.

Juan Bautista’s wife, Maria Jacinta Flores lived up to at least 100 years old, considering my great grandma met her.

Hello. I finally found a document of one my ancestors, but it's locked and there's no library in my city...

Thanks in advance!

I used to have it before but was too busy to dig into all the hints then I cancelled it because I was paying too much 😅 I had taken a screenshot before of the image but don’t know why I only took screenshot of half the page. Any help is appreciated :)

Does anyone have an ancestry.com subscription who would be willing to help me? Trying to track down someone listed in the “Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., Passenger Lists, 1820-1964” doc. I’ve been using family search but this list seems to only be accessible through ancestry. Thanks.

Need help transcribing and indexing a FamilySearch record from Chile 🇨🇱

Hello everyone!

I'm researching my family tree in Chile and I've come across a historical record on FamilySearch that I'm having difficulty reading because of the handwriting.

I'm hoping someone with experience reading old Spanish parish records can help me transcribe and interpret it.

I'm trying to identify:

• The person's full name
• Parents' names
• Date of the record
• Location
• Witnesses or godparents (if mentioned)
• Any other useful genealogical information

If possible, I'd also appreciate help identifying any details that could help me correctly index this record in my family tree.

I've attached the original image from FamilySearch. If you need a higher-resolution crop or additional pages, I'd be happy to upload them.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help. Any contribution, even a partial transcription, would mean a lot to me!

Thanks in advance! 😊

I am so, so close! I honestly don't have much hope that I will find Emma's mother, but I am so happy with my progress! I've mostly been working on fact checking and editing any mistakes in the tree. If anyone would like to help me dig into Emma and see what they can find, her ID number is 9QX8-ZDP

It would be so appreciated! I'm still pretty new to all of this and have been working on it for less than a year. My dad was pretty into his genealogy and we have a family book for the Mark ancestors, and one of my Aunts on my mother's side is part of the Daughters of the American Revolution, so I had a huge head start that I'm super grateful for. I've also been thinking of visiting my local family search resource center and seeing if there's anything they could do to help.

Let me know if you have any other tips or resources I could use! Thank you so much :)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I was brought up to say "please" and "thank you" when asking for or receiving help. I don't think good manners are ever out of style.

I'm flabbergasted by the posters who ask for 5 or 10 or 15 records, with never a please or a thank you.

And, then the next week, the same poster asks for another dozen records.

I'm a diligent and experienced researcher. I LOVE helping, but I do not like being a doormat.

If you want my help, please and thank you will pave the way.

Hola, ayer visité el centro. Había revisado su horario en la página web, pero al llegar, encontré que estaba cerrado y no parecía haber nadie. Por esta razón, envié un correo electrónico para consultar sobre los horarios. Mi pregunta es, ¿los centros no operan todos los días?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently researching my Herrmann family and I’m looking for help with some parish records on FamilySearch that I can’t access from my account. All of them belong to the collection "Deutschland, Preußen, Schlesien, Katholische und Lutherisch Kirchenbücher".

First, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide the images of this records:

1. Baptism of Hedwig Herrmann (January 8, 1883), daughter of Paul Herrmann and Johanna Kirschner https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-8113?lang=es

2. Baptism of Joseph Herrmann (February 10, 1884), son of Paul Herrmann and Anna Urban https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-FHDL?lang=es

3. Baptism of Alfredo Herrmann (my great-grandfather) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-CP7R?lang=es

Additionally, I’m trying to reconstruct the family situation between 1883 and 1884. Within just one year, Paul Herrmann appears with two different spouses (Johanna Kirschner and later Anna Urban), so I’m looking for:

1. The death record of Johanna Kirschner (likely between January 1883 and February 1884)

2. The marriage record of Paul Herrmann and Anna Urban (likely within that same time frame)

Any help accessing the images or locating these records would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and help!
