Selected Stakes in Mount Timpanogos Temple District to Go Live

From: Family Search Support
To: American Fork Utah FHC
Date: 09/28/09 05:26 pm
Subject: New FamilySearch to Go Live - Selected Stakes - Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple District

To: Priesthood leaders, family history center directors, and family history consultants in selected stakes in Utah

Beginning on Monday, October 5, 2009, Church members in your stake may begin using the new.familysearch.org Web site to prepare ancestral names for temple ordinances. No additional notice will be sent to priesthood leaders or members of the Church in your stake concerning this release date.

Church members in the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple district should no longer take TempleReady disks to the temple for processing. Family history center directors and family history consultants have access to a conversion feature in the new.familysearch.org Web site that will allow them to upload a TempleReady submission file and print a Family Ordinance Request form for the temple. These instructions may be found on the News and Updates page of the Utah and Idaho Release section of consultant.familysearch.org. Scroll down to the Things You Should Know section of the News and Updates page, and click on the Creating an FOR from a TempleReady Disk link.

There is also important information about how to include more than one name on a Family Ordinance Request. Click on the Include more than one person on a Family Ordinance Request link, and follow the steps. If you are clearing multiple individuals or families, please do not print one individual per Family Ordinance Request. You can include up to 50 individuals on a single Family Ordinance Request form.

If you have not done so already, please complete the release preparations as instructed on the Utah and Idaho Release section of the consultant.familysearch.org Web site prior to the release to your stake. This will greatly benefit your preparation to help members to use the new.familysearch.org Web site as part of the new process for preparing ancestral names for the temple. Please contact FamilySearch Support by e-mail or phone if you have any questions or problems.

Thank you for your support of temple and family history work.

Sincerely,

Volunteers to Bring Historic Sweden Church Records Online

The following is from FamilySearch.

21 August 2009

400 million names included in largest indexing effort to-date

FALKÖPING, Sweden—FamilySearch and Svensk Arkivinformation (SVAR), a division of the National Archives of Sweden, announced today the launch of the largest online indexing initiative undertaken to-date. The two groups unveiled plans to engage Swedish volunteers throughout the world to help create a highly searchable, free online index to the historic parish registers of Sweden—200 years of recorded Swedish history as documented in the Sweden church records—comprising over 400 million names.

In 1608 the Archbishop of Sweden asked the clergy to begin making records of births, christenings, marriages, and burials of all the residents of Sweden. By 1686, they were conducting regular examinations of the population of each parish. The church records (often called “parish registers” or “church books”) span over two centuries and chronicle the vital life events of an estimated 418 million people who moved in and out of parishes in Sweden.

“The church records are a key source for genealogists seeking Swedish ancestors because nearly everyone who lived in Sweden was recorded in a church record,” said David Rencher, FamilySearch chief genealogical officer. “The challenge now is to make those records, which are written in Swedish, available to researchers worldwide,” concluded Rencher.

“We are very pleased with the excellent cooperation we have enjoyed for many years between FamilySearch and the National Archives to microfilm and scan the Swedish church records. Now we are going to create an index that will revolutionize the genealogy research in Sweden. The simplicity of finding and reading about one’s ancestors on the Web in the millions of scanned records will attract many beginners of all ages,” said Anders Nordström, director of SVAR. “To the academic researcher, this is an entirely new means. It makes it possible to do research within disciplines on a micro level, an extent that was never possible before now,” added Nordström.

The way Swedes passed on a family name throughout the centuries is another reason why the indexing initiative is so important to family historians. “Imagine being in a Swedish community 200 years ago and 10 out of 100 people have the same first and last name as you. That’s how small the naming pool was in Scandinavia,” said Jeff Svare, FamilySearch Scandinavian collection management specialist.

If you were Anders Andersson, your father could have been Anders. Your brother could have also been named Anders, as well as your uncle. To help distinguish which Anders Andersson you were referring to at the time, locals added the name of the farm (residence) of an individual to keep them straight. “Otherwise, when you’re trying to search for Anders Andersson today, your ancestor falls into the proverbial fog of same-named people and you don’t know who they are without the additional context,” added Svare. The FamilySearch index will include the residence or farm name from the individual’s vital record. This information has been extracted to assist patrons in identifying their Swedish ancestor.

The goal is to engage the Swedish community in creating a highly searchable, free online index to the Sweden church records. When complete, the index will be the single largest point of access to information contained in the historic parish registers of Sweden. The free index will link to images of the original records hosted by the National Archives of Sweden (SVAR). In addition to the free public index that will be made available, SVAR might charge a nominal fee for public patrons who want to view or print the images.

FamilySearch is the global leader of online indexing. It launched its online indexing program in 2008, and tens of thousands of volunteers recently helped reach another major milestone by indexing their 250 millionth name. FamilySearch currently has 65 online indexing projects underway.

For this project, FamilySearch will create digital images of the Sweden church records provided by SVAR. Volunteers worldwide will then use FamilySearch’s Web-based indexing tool to view the digital images and extract only the desired information from the image. That data will then be processed and published online in searchable indexes linked to the digital images.

Volunteers need only Internet access and the ability to read Swedish to contribute to this historic effort. A unique quality control process ensures a highly accurate, finished index. Each document is transcribed by two different indexers, wherever they are in the world. Any discrepancies in their two extractions are then forwarded to a third volunteer—an arbitrator—who makes any needed corrections between the two interpretations.

The project will start with records from Örebro, Uppsala, and Södermanland counties. Indexing will begin with the earliest year available for each parish and continue through 1860. A typical downloaded “batch” (group of records) will take a volunteer about 30 to 40 minutes to complete. The indexing utility has built-in tutorials and helps. Anyone interested in volunteering for the Sweden Church Records project can do so at indexing.familysearch.org.

New FamilySearch Update Correction

On Monday, 14 Sept 2009 I published an article "New FamilySearch Update - 14 Sep 2009" In that article I mention two rumors about the roll-out timing that I had heard.

  • New FamilySearch will probably be totally live in Utah & Idaho by General Conference.
  • 40 stakes will get the email today saying they will go live next week, all in the Provo district.
I have been in discussion with Paul Nauta, FamilySearch Public Affairs Manager, about these rumors. I can now report:
“The current plans are to have newFamilySearch rolled out to all temple districts by the end of 2009. All Idaho and Utah districts will not be live by the upcoming LDS General Conference date.”
We also now have a complete list of stakes in the Provo Temple District that have received word of going live with New FamilySearch on 21 Sep 2009. For a complete list of Provo's Announced Release dates click here.

See ya tomorrow for tomorrow is always another genealogy day!

FamilySearch Wiki Portal Template Migration

I received the following from the FamilySearch Research Wiki team.

Dear Wiki users,

In the past several months the FamilySearch Research Wiki Community has discussed removing the portal namespace and portal template. After several discussions, the community consensus has been for removing all pages that are currently using the portal template. Only pages that begin with the characters “Portal:” will be effected by this change. Two major portal pages, England and United States, have already been moved and are no longer using the portal template.

As a community, we decided that due to the technical nature of transferring these pages, we should assign this task to one community member. One of our Wiki Contributors, Eduardo Seoane, has agreed to move these pages to make sure that no links or data is broken. Moving these pages is a very detail-oriented task, and we are confident that Eduardo has the skill-set needed to help make this transition take place smoothly. The process Eduardo will follow is as follows:
1. He will review the portal discussion page for comments about the migration.
2. He will post the “Inuse” template at the top of the portal page and on all of the sub-pages affiliated with that portal page.
3. He will post an estimated time period needed to transfer the page on the portal discussion page. If you have recommendations, comments, or concerns, feel free to add information to the portal discussion page in question so that Eduardo may use this information to help with the transition.
4. He will be temporarily lock down the portal page and subpages (only one portal at a time) for a short period of time to make sure new content is not added to the page while he is making the transition.
5. He will create the new page and copy all of the content from each of the portal page and subpages.
6. All pages that link to the portal and portal sub-pages will be re-linked to the new page so that there will be no broken links associated with these pages.
7. All content from the migrated portal and sub-pages (after being moved and double-checked) will be removed so that users don’t get confused about the pages and try to add content in two separate places, and the portal page will be redirected to the new page.
8. For example, a page titled “Portal:Afghanistan” will be moved to a page titled “Afghanistan,” and all of the content and pages linking to the former portal page will be moved into the page titled “Afghanistan.”

Once these steps have been followed, it will be very easy to make changes to the new page containing the old content. At that point, the community will need to determine whether or not to keep the portal namespace, or remove it altogether, and whether the old portal pages should remain as re-directs to the new portal pages, or be deleted as discussed earlier. To weigh in on these decisions, please feel free to add your comments on the Manual of Style page, and to attend our weekly Community Meeting.

If you have comments or concerns about the portal page migration, please add your comments and concerns to the discussion page of the portal in question, rather than contacting Eduardo directly. There are many portal pages in the system, and he will be migrating them one at a time. Communicating concerns directly on the portal page discussion page will allow him to address individual concerns as he prepares to migrate that portal page rather than receiving all of these concerns out of context.

Thank you!
