Questions about numbers on the Family History Activity Report

#1

Post by GStringham »

Q1: In the First Four Generation percentage, the numerator only counts those with a FamilySearch account tied to their church membership. Is the denominator ALL members in that unit? In other words, 6-month-old Junior is pulling down the percentage because he has been too busy teething. And thus 100% can never be achieved. Is that correct?

Q2: In the Members Participating in FH Activities, Added Names to Tree, stats, if I add a living person, such as my children, is that considered adding a name? Or does it have to be the name of a dead person?

Q3: In the Added Memory to Tree number, If I tagged a person to a photo that was already uploaded, does that count? Or would I have to actually upload a photo or create a new memory?

For your first question, I'd refer you to this post. It appears that all ADULT members in the unit make up the denominator.

Many of these questions are answered in the Family History Activity Report (FHAR) Guide. But here are some specific answers:

No, the denominator includes all youth and adults (not children). Youth start getting counted on January 1 of the year that they turn 12 (the same time they enter YM or YW).

Adding any person to the Family Tree counts -- living or dead. I know that the help article says you need to add an "ancestor" but any person added to the tree is counted.

Tagging doesn't count. You have to actually create a memory, meaning that you upload a photo or document or audio file, or create a story.

Thanks for the answers. I had searched for the answers online but had not come across that guide for LCR's FHAR over in FamilySearch. And thanks for answering the questions not in that guide.
