Ancestry has added a new feature, at least on the Social Security Death Index transcription that we see online.
For example:
This is not an image, this is a transcription from Ancestry from a record that they have and that we can NOT see. The End Users should NOT be able to Add alternate information to what we see.
I, for one, have reported an issue stating that we should NOT be able to add information. Yes, we may have additional information, but not to this type of a record, or INDEX.
It's a great feature when we are looking at an Image AND our view of an item on the Image is different from that which is transcribed, but not to an Index.
If you agree, please report issues on these types of records to Ancestry.

With the change in the Hinting system between Ancestry and Family Tree Maker, a little more care needs to be taken, when selecting a Hint that has a media file. I'll share my experience with this.

An observation about Hints, when Two People have hints and One Person is selected, but the Web Merge includes two people. In this example, I had already merged the data from the Wife into FTM2017 from her Hint, so, his hint should no longer be there, as all of the information from that record is already in that database.

I will probably do this example again, to show the Hint issue. The point of this one, is to show that the Hint was followed for one person, the Husband, but the data from the Wife was included in the Web Merge. And that Hint should not have been there.to start with.

Just some observations when doing a Web Merge, with FTM2017, with a Social Security Death Index (SSDI) Record. Specifically the Death Location fact, creating / using a Last Residence Fact, a State Issued Fact, and the use of the SSN.
