Ensure your family's information on FamilySearch is correct and complete. Validator makes this quick and easy. The purpose of the Family Tree Validator is to find inconsistencies, errors, missing data in your family's tree on FamilySearch. Because these errors are under the surface, you may not even be aware that anything is wrong. It will make suggestions that may help FamilySearch find additional matches. It will find simple cleanup items like date and location inconsistencies. Best of all, it makes fixing these simple issues fast and easy! Validator checks that the information currently in FamilySearch about your family is 'reasonable'. That means common sense tests are applied EVERYWHERE (and if I've missed some, please let me know). It checks all of the information currently available, comparing husband and wife, children, parents and siblings. The extension further checks, for each attached source record, the information was fully added into FamilySearch. This saves you massive time in doing this review yourself! TO BEGIN: Install the extension and it will walk you through a few simple steps. Then return to FamilySearch and login. As you access a person's page, click on the Validator icon in the upper right of your browser. (If you don't see the icon, click on the extension icon - looks like a puzzle piece - and then on the 'pin' next to Family Tree Validator.) The person's name will appear on a small popup window. To validate them, simply click on the "Validate This Person" button. During Validation, the person and their family will be displayed on a separate Progress page, along with any information about them that needs to be reviewed. IMPORTANT: the first time, the amount of information can be concerning. Do not worry, we'll make the cleanup easy! To help you with your use of Validator, full help and suggestions are located on our website FindMyRoots.tech/help. The Options page gives you full control of Family Tree Validator's behavior. Validation should be viewed as a process rather than an event. As items are corrected and added, FamilySearch may find more items to be added to your tree. Lastly, we appreciate your use of the Family Tree Validator as it continues to grow and be enhanced. Despite best our efforts to make everything work as expected, you may find issues in its use. Please report any errors, items missed, things that could be checked, or new suggestions to FindMyRoots.tech@gmail.com or on our website FindMyRoots.tech/support. Enjoy!!!
