FamilySearch is a person centric system. Each person listed in the indexed historical records collections has their own unique persistent archival link (URL) or person source and hence their own unique web page. Linking a person source, or page, from the historical records to a conclusion person in the Family Tree is the manner by which a researcher tells the system that the two people are the same. This system allows FamilySearch to account for each individual recorded in the records more accurately than does the ambiguous linking of images, which may contain many unspecified individuals. | FamilySearch is a person centric system.

<br> | <br>Each historical records person source is stored in the GedcomX data model which gives it deep internal awareness of its person's data and relationships. It knows what vital data is present on the record and what that data means. It knows what relationships to other persons its person has on the record and what those relationships mean. It knows what record (ex a census household record) its person is found on, what image(s) that record is found on, and what collection the image is part of. In other words, if you link the person source in historical records to the Family Tree person you are simultaneously linking the record, the image, if available, and the collection since these are all associated with each other. | ||
