The only living people you can see on FamilySearch are ones that you have entered yourself. FamilySearch is VERY strict about that. They have probably the tightest privacy policy. My name, date of birth etc. is in FamilySearch. I put it there. If you were to add my name with my date of birth, even though it would be a perfect match FamilySearch will not match it. You will have to add me manually and get a new FSID. This of course creates a duplicate but until I die those duplicates can’t be resolved.

I haven't entered any FSIDs in my Legacy. Before today I wouldn't have known a FSID if I had seen it. I now see there are some there. I was distressed to find personal data on living people in FamilySearch which caused my concern.

To get a FamilySearch hint that person has to have an FSID entered in Legacy which means you have already linked your person to that same person on FamilySearch (that does NOT mean that there was actual data transfer in either direction). When you get a FamilySearch hint you are taken straight to that person’s record matching page. FamilySearch is basically asking you, does this record match your guy? If it does, you can tell FamilySearch to add that records to that person with that FSID number on FamilySearch. You don’t have to do this but those people who work with the Family Tree on FamilySearch normally will do this.

Ok Legacy does not provide information from my file to the hint sources. Why does FamilySearch then ask me if I wish to add each record to a person in their database? I'm curious as to what exactly is going on with that. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com <mailto:LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
