FamilySearch Get Involved: ANCESTORS

THIS HAS REPLACED MY SOCIAL MEDIA. In one month I almost quick indexed 1500 names. I feel so much more productive. It is also fascinating to look at all these documents. I am a young person and I love it. I have showed the other people in my Young Women class how to do it. SO MUCH FUN THIS HAS REPLACED MY SOCIAL MEDIA. In one month I almost quick indexed 1500 names.

This app is a great tool! It is something that I try to substitute for mindless scrolling or while I have a few minutes of spare time! Overall 6/5 stars & am looking forward to them continuing to add new countries to the app. 6/5 stars This app is a great tool!

EDIT June 2024: Bug Alert: Clicking "Not a Person" causes a bug where the next name shown has the same incorrect name written in the suggestion box above it. Example: Clicking "Not a Person" on the word VICTORIA (referring to Victoria, Australia) then goes on to the next name. It shows someone's name, but the suggestion box above it now says VICTORIA. ---------- EDIT December 2023: I am happy to report that the "All Names Reviewed" feature within "My Contributions" appears to be working again! The bar chart also appears to be working again. Also, the new volunteering stats (like the "People" section) are very cool to see. ---------- EDIT July 2023: The "My Contributions" section is still completely broken in many ways. Doesn't even count your contributions. My number of contributions for multiple months is shown as ZERO. Very upsetting. Please try to fix this. ---------- Such a great way to volunteer my time! App is designed well. ---------- EDIT March 2023: App suddenly stopped counting contributions towards the bar chart and the total number of names corrected. FamilySearch.org/GetInvolved on a computer still correctly adds to the "Names Corrected" counter inside the "Name Review" square. The app no longer adds to the counter! ---------- Also, please start counting Place-Name Correction/Verification, Indexing, etc into the counter/bar charts so that volunteers can see the number of things they have helped to correct (or verify) for all volunteering opportunities, as opposed to only seeing the number of corrections made for the Name Review volunteering opportunity. ---------- Review will change back to 5 stars after the major bug is fixed! ---------- EDIT 13 March 2023: I logged out, deleted the app, redownloaded the app, logged in, and reviewed more names. The bug is not fixed; My changes are not being counted towards the monthly or total "All Names Reviewed" under the "My Contributions" tab. Names I review on the app do not update the My Contributions numbers on the app or the website, whereas names I review on the website still correctly update the My Contributions numbers on both the website and the app. I believe this problem started with the newest software update (Version 1.4.0). ---------- EDIT March 2023: the edit counters in the "My Contributions" tab seem to be fixed now! (app Version 1.4.1) ---------- EDIT April 2023: the "My Contributions" counter is broken again... my contributions are not being counted, so my total number is starting the same and my April edits counter is staying at zero...

I know I am supposed to do Family History and I know that when I do I feel blessed but it’s still hard to do and take time for! This app is fantastic and now I want to take time to do it every day because it makes it - simple process! One thing that I think would be super helpful is to see how helpful this actually is to do! I want to see intro videos of how me doing this little thing every day helps in the whole process of things. how does me doing this make a difference in the big picture?

This opens up simple ways for youth to draw on the promises of family history without having to “figure out” formats for each indexing project! I hope this translates I to various languages and record types, because it’s beautifully simple!!! Great way to get youth involved!!!
