| '''What is the difference between Ancestral File and Pedigree Resource File?'''
| |
| | |
| Both files are the results of user submitted genealogies. Submissions to [[Ancestral File|Ancestral File]] were merged into one common pedigree. Submissions to Pedigree Resource File are kept separate from other submissions. Notes and sources submitted are preserved in Pedigree Resource File submissions but were discarded from [[Ancestral File|Ancestral File]] submissions.

| | |
| '''How do I contribute to Pedigree Resource File?'''

| '''How do I correct errors in Pedigree Resource File?'''
| |
| | |
| Corrections are not accepted for Pedigree Resource File. Corrections can be made in the new FamilySearch Tree. Submitters are invited to resubmit genealogies that incorporate desired corrections. However, the submission does not replace the old submission. Both old and new, incorrect and correct, are in the file.

| '''How accurate is Pedigree Resource File?'''

The old Pedigree Resource File Discs displayed submitter names and contact information but the discs are no longer available.
| |
| | |
