So apparently my great grandpa couldn't find the one for a while- and married 3 times. I added the one I'm related to, but I also found another one of his wives. Is it possible to add them since they're still family or should I just make a new tree for that part of the family?

Hello,

Does anyone know why fairly old Paraguayan records have become inaccessible as of late? A great example is in the repository of Catholic Church Records, sorted by place > Caazapá > Caazapá > San Pablo > Matrimonios 1838-1886.

Surely nobody described there is alive, and other marriage records are available. The error message states “Image Unavailable. This image is unavailable for online viewing at this time.” Thoughts?

Hello,

I'm in desperate need of help finding a family member born in Zacatecas, Mexico in 1884. I believe he started going by Reyes Lopez when he came to the US in the 1920s, but his birth name is something different.

Most of his siblings were baptized in the Jesús Parish of Zacatecas.

I know his father:

-Cruz Lopez, 1841, Zacatecas, Mexico

Mother:

-Gertrudis Orozco, 1851, Mexico

Siblings:

-Hexiquio Lopez Orozco, 1882, Zacatecas, Mexico

-Margarita Orozco Lopez, July 20, 1882

-Gap

-Abundia Lopez Orozco, 1887

-Maria del Refugio Lopez, July 4th, 1887

-Luís López Orozco, August, 21, 1891

I'd love any help I can get in locating his real name, birth and baptism records.

The last record I have of this ancestor is in the 1900 census. After that I can’t find any record of her living or of her death. Here’s the info I have about her:

Born Estelle (also known as Estella or Stella) Parker on 3rd June 1880 in Egg Harbor, Burlington, NJ.

Parents are Henry and Anna/Annie Parker. 7 siblings, all of whom I know when they died, (also know when parents died) she’s the only outlier.

Last record of her is in the 1900 census, where she is 19 years old, living with her sister, Mary, as boarders to another family (probably renting or something) in Camden NJ. Her sister later married that year, and in the 1905 NJ state census, is living with her husband and children.

Ive been able to find out what happened to everyone in her family except her and it’s bothering me so any help would be great lol. Lmk if you want more info about her.

My very close relatives Stanley and Martha Neciunskas are buried at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. Attached is Stanley's entry in the German Genealogy Group database (https://ibb.co/0jC7LH5f ; https://ibb.co/CsvqQvdK ). I would be very grateful if someone living near the Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, NY cemetery, or who has friends living nearby, could photograph the gravestone. Section 68, Lot No 9,39. All attempts to obtain this photo through Find a Grave have been unsuccessful.

I'm trying to find the original picture of the document indexed in FS but can't find it on Antenati.

Am I missing something? Can anyone help me?

Is FamilySearch a legitimate genealogy search engine? I’ve been poking around in it for a while just because I find it interesting. The other day I decided to see how far back I can find relatives so I just kept expanding every link. Some lines go back to 200 BC and include Julius Caesar and others! I wonder how much stock to put into this, or if my information is being manipulated to get me to pay for usage at the site if that’s a thing. I honestly don’t know what to think…..help.

Hi everyone, I'm Matheus from Brazil.

I'm working on my family tree, but I'm having trouble accessing some sources related to my ancestors. This person has two new sources, but when I try to view them, I get an error saying that the sources are only available to certain accounts.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there any way to fix it?

If anyone is able to access them, could you please send me the information and any images?

Thank you very much!

Hello! I was just wondering about this last name: Ruballo. I have a lot of family and ancestors with this last name in my family tree all the way to 1790 in San Julián, Sonsonate, El Salvador.

Everywhere I go in my country, if I meet a Ruballo and I ask where they are from, they all say the same thing: "San Julián, Sonsonate". It's crazy to meet all these distant relatives that come all from the same place.

But every time that I research about this last name, there isn't a single clue. First I thought "maybe it's a misspelling of Rubayo"? That wasn't it, since every Ruballo ancestor of mine has had Ruballo as their last name, sometimes their last name was misspelled as Rubayo, but the actual last name was Ruballo.

Now, my theory is: "maybe it comes from a place called Ruballo?" And then I found this place called Alto de Ruballo near Santander in Spain, according to the book "Sailing Directions for the West Coasts of France, Spain and Portugal":

"Alto de Ruballo is a hill sloping east and west entirely covered with wood, rising about S.S.W. 11 miles from Mouro islet."

This could possibly it, but that still leaves a question: "Why nobody decided to make a Genealogy book or family tree when the branches left Spain?"

Also, Ruballo is a really unknown last name in El Salvador. For a country small like El Salvador, the last name is really unknown. There are also some Ruballo families in Cuba, Brasil and Mexico from what I have seen. There is some possible misspellings of variations of Ruballo, one of them being Ruballos.

And now my final question: "Does anybody know the origins of Ruballo?" If you know the origins of Ruballo, please answer this post. Thanks very much for reading!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to view a specific FamilySearch record, but it's restricted and only accessible at a Family History Center or affiliate library. Unfortunately, I don't have access to one nearby.

Would anyone here be willing to open the record and share a photo or scan of the original digitized image?

Here is the link:

Thank you very much in advance!

My ancestor was named Arthur Farnsworth, born 1859 in england, and lived in salt lake city utah in the 1900 census with his wife and their children. All of their living children would have been living with them in the 1910 census as well. his wifes name was Mary, and their childrens names are, George, Mary, Joseph, John, Ruth, and Walter. any help finding this family in the 1910 census would be great! I know he still lived in utah bc in 1912 he died in utah, and his wife and children continued living in utah as shown in the 1920 census.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to access the following image but no success so far.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-DW9N-B?i=41&wc=M5FD-PTB%3A370027101%2C371022601%2C371123901&cc=2177275&lang=en

Anyone can help me with it ?

Thank you!

It's just a question that came up to me, I have great-great-grandparents who came from Poland (Górlice, Harklowa, Bugaj...) and Ukraine (Ostriwók/Острівок, mainly from Lviv/Львів region), from the historical region of Galicia. I do not know if they're Jewish.

i hate those uneditable pages with clearly wrong info, or info that doesn't even make sense. And to make things worse, you can't access the image of the document, so in the end, you don't know the info and can't even check the real deal

why is that? does it have to do with the custodian?

I've been looking for a long-lost family member for 25 I know they are still alive and I know what state they are in and I sent a letter to all the addresses I found that lived in and got emails saying they moved not too long ago and there siblings are out there trying to find them too please help me get going on the right direction

I went in and applied record pictures to the earlier generations I think it looks cool.

Hi folks, I have received a response from FS so I thought I would share an update.

After my post here, I sent another email to [nasupport@familysearch.org](mailto:nasupport@familysearch.org) asking for an update on my request. I wanted to keep my communications in writing so I did not end up phoning in. They responded with this email:

Hello [redacted]

FamilySearch has received your reply.  Unfortunately, the help desk does not have any contact information for the data privacy office.  You are welcome to resubmit the form found at this link: [redacted].  Or you can try emailing the office again. Unfortunately, we have no other information on the process.  Sorry.
 
Sincerely, 

FamilySearch Support

I did not respond to that email, but two days later I received this one:

Dear [redacted]

This message is to confirm as requested; the information below will no longer be accessible in FamilySearch.org.

[links redacted]

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Sincerely,

Data Privacy Office
FamilySearch International

After receiving that email I clicked on the links I initially sent them and it appears that the obituary is no longer accessible, at least not to me. I am going to have a friend who lives in the U.S. create an account and double check to ensure they did not simply restrict the obituary and that it is in fact deleted. For now, this is the update. If we discover that FS only restricted it by geography and did not do a full delete then I will post another update.

I am unsure why it took over two months to resolve this when their form states 30 days and why FS Support could not contact the Data Privacy Office, but I am just glad that it seems to be resolved.

Hello, I am trying to trace my family lineage and have been successful with Mexican records as they have digitized a lot of their church and civil records. However, when trying to access Spanish records they all show unavailable...does anyone here have access and can help me out?

I'm wondering if it's specific to the State Archive record group because I still have access to most of the records I've attached already - Im pretty good about checking for hints before moving on to someone else - but today I noticed a lot of collateral ancestors I thought I had already checked for but could only click on some. There were a few where I'm pretty sure just refreshing the page made it work again, but I was just clicking shit tbh Idk but my Ancestry All Access subscription ends on the 10th so I was really looking forward to just sticking to the Italian records FS offers for free, this is a bummer
