I have posted comments and to my recollection, I have never had a comment or question back. Most of the Notes and Discussions on the website are old preserved note from GEDCOM files. FamilySearch wrote about this topic in 2019. See https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/contacting-other-users/ I think when the messaging system was implemented, it sort of replaced any use for these other two ways of communicating. I get a lot of messages. <br />James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-30259707821296278212021-09-29T10:46:11.766-07:002021-09-29T10:46:11.766-07:00Hello James, thank you for the excellent writing ...Hello James, thank you for the excellent writing and seminars. I have a subject that I have not seen covered by family search / BYU. If I am correct, then I think it would make a great webinar or blog post. When I find conflicting data on a person, even in my own family, I ask "Do I really have the documentation or written proof statement to make the change?" I write in the discussion tab about my concerns and ask if another researcher has concrete evidence one way or the other. I think this tab is under utilized and the community would benefit from using it more. It at least alerts others to questions and concerns. Someone made a change to my great grandmother's surname! When I thought about it, all my reasoning for using the Irish surname did not contain one document to prove my "fact". I let the change stand and I wrote about it under discussion. If I ever find her baptismal record in Ireland, I will change it back but right now I think discussion is the best place for my thoughts. It would be an excellent place to put family lore, that doesn't have proof too. Thank you, Mary Beth Muellermbm1311https://www.blogger.com/profile/00259363925596797806noreply@blogger.com
