Introducing the FamilySearch Profile Quality Score

Note: This article was published previously on the Genealogy’s Star blog site.

RootsTech 2024 was the forum for announcing a valuable feature that helps with the FamilySearch.org Family Tree accuracy. FamilySearch announced the Profile Quality Score which is featured in the FamilySearch.org/Labs website. When this feature is activated by turning it on, it appears on Profile Page of entries in the Family Tree and when clicked on, it gives a break down of the accuracy and reliability of an entry. Here is an example from my own part of the Family Tree.

The sidebar can be expanded to view additional evaluations.

You do not see anything unless this app is turned on using the FamilySearch.org/Labs page. I couldn’t see any pattern to when the information appeared on an individual.
