Introducing he FamilySearch Profile Quality Score


RootsTech 2024 was the forum for announcing a valuablefeature that helps with the FamilySearch.org Family Tree accuracy. FamilySearch announced the Profile Quality Score which is featured in the FamilySearch.org/Labs website. When this feature is activated by turning it on, it appears on Profile Page of entries in the Family Tree and when clicked on, it gives a break down of the accuracy and reliability of an entry. Here is an example from my own part of the Family Tree. 


The sidebar can be expanded to view additional evaluations. 


You do not see anything unless this app is turned on using the FamilySearch.org/Labs page. I couldn't see any pattern to when the information appeared on an individual.

  1. In response to "I couldn't see any pattern to when the information appeared on an individual", see the Frequently Asked Questions which states:

    Why don't I see the quality indicator on my ancestor?
    For the quality indicator to appear on a page, all of the following conditions must be met:
    - User language set to English
    - Ancestor must be born between 1800 and 1920
    - Ancestor must be born in Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States.
