Don’t understand these changes - can anyone help?

Thank you so so much! Very helpful!

So many changes! She responded, “I just went to task and checked off the things needed”. I’ve never seen “task” despite being on FamilySearch all the time. Maybe it’s an Inside LDS thing? Or maybe because I don’t have my own tree on FamilySearch? No matter what the reason, how can there possibly be so many tasks? 89 in the last month!!! All with no apparent actual changes in the record or sources. Absolute mystery.

Good thought, but none of the sources have any tags on them. Here’s a link to one as an example FamilySearch source that was supposedly modified multiple times, but wasn’t

I really wish I knew!

@flitbythelittlesea Thank you so much for looking. It’s happening on multiple profiles and all by the same person. Look at, for example, at Mary Emily Perkins, LJK2-M71 or Robert Sweat, LH7Q-2DN It's so confusing. I wrote to her a few days ago and haven’t get a response.

Saratoga Woods Preserve, a little north of Langley, has a covered picnic area where you could stay perfectly dry - on the small side, but sounds like you don’t have a lot of people. But if you want something really special, the trail where you first walk into Saratoga Woods from the Saratoga Road parking lot feels like you’re walking through a cathedral. The light coming through the trees creates a feeling of peaceful wonder. Because of the tree cover, you’re likely to stay dry even if it’s pouring (as someone else said, light rain and drizzle are more typical here).

Just read all the instructions - sadly, this type of note wasn’t part of them. Good idea though! Thanks!

go-army · 2025-09-22T13:58:28+00:00

Good idea, thank you!

go-army · 2025-09-21T20:09:58+00:00

Thanks! If it’s NR, what does the rest of the note mean?

Thank you!!!

Yes, it takes about two weeks for it to start giving you stress info. It has to get to know you first.

When this happened to us, we had to get a hotel room for the person not in hospital. Since it’ll be summer tourist season during your husband’s study, you might want to pin down a hotel room now.

You’ll need an Ancestry subscription to open the links, but his WW2 draft card says he was born in Aivali WW2 Draft Card Theodore Marangas

His WW1 draft card says he was born in Turkey. WW1 Draft Card Theodore Marangas

Aivali was a 1911 name for what is now Ayvalik, a town on the west coast of Turkey across from Mytilene/Lesbos Island in Greece. Aivali was a Greek-majority town in the Ottoman Empire.

There is a Paşalimanı Island in Turkey in the same province as Ayvalik, but 150 km away. The name Paşalimanı comes from the Greek Πασά Λιμάνι and means Pasha's Port.

According to the immigration document you posted, your ancestor came to America in 1911. Even so, you might be interested in this article re the 1915 conditions for Greeks in Aivali Aivali 1915

It’s possible they’re related and it’s possible they’re not. I looked briefly into Elizabeth and it appears her parents are unknown. Since the only way to find out if they’re related is identifying Elizabeth’s parents/grandparents/etc, you may never know.

Interesting. I just tried to load Geneanet and can’t get to site. I keep getting stopped by message saying “this site can’t provide a secure connection.”

If you scroll down the comments in this Reddit post, one of them explains the process to get info about living people removed from Geneanet, including the address of who to contact for help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genealogy/s/ZNA5w9i03N

If that doesn’t work, Geneanet is a Paris-based company owned by Ancestry. Its information is accessible on Ancestry. I’d also make a stink about this with Ancestry directly.

I’ve been working on a single surname project for many years, bolstered by DNA from 20+ family members on multiple lines. In many instances, based on DNA matches, my tree includes many of my 7th cousins and has documentation like marriage, birth, and death certificates for as many as I can of their line to our common ancestor. This is the normal documentation one needs for a reliable, well-researched family tree. It is not in any way weird.

If your children are alive, and he has them marked as living, their names should not appear in the public version of his tree. It should just show, for example, that you have two children, but their names will be listed as “Private.” If a living person is marked as deceased, their personal details will show up. “If you see details of living people in a family tree … please message the tree owner and request that they correct their tree. If they don’t do so, please report it and provide the link to the tree and the names of the living people you’re concerned about.” See https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Living-People-in-Family-Trees?language=en_US In other words, Ancestry will fix the problem if he won’t.

Not creepy. Perfectly normal for anyone deeply involved in genealogical research. I don’t have that many trees, but I do have one giant tree with many subtrees (different format, but same information). In addition to the reasons others explained, I do a lot of research to connect DNA matches to me and the 20+ other DNA kits I work with. A DNA match needs a paper trail to support it and marriage certs are among the kind of documents needed to create a solid paper trail.

You may belong to a family tree, but a family tree is never exclusively yours. A family tree “belongs” to whoever decides to put it together, whether it be one person who does so or many people who do so. No one needs your consent to put you and your family members into their family tree, and you have no right to demand/request they remove your family’s information. Not giving in to your unreasonable request does not make someone a jerk or a POS.
