Bob has prepared a detailed presentation to guide any members who would like to explore this feature from their own home. Use this link to open a pdf file (of 41 slides) that steps through the process and explain each stage. Just use the arrow keys to move between pages.
Of course watching a presentation is just the first step in learning how to use this tool. You must follow up by actually carrying out the task if you want to be confident that you can do it.
So locate an ancestor who is in the Family Search tree but who has an "unsourced" record of a birth, marriage and/or death in Queensland. Use what you have just learned to enhance Family Search for the benefit of all researchers.
What is that I hear you say, "But, I have no ancestors in Family Search." Well here are some you can borrow. Each of these people probably has distant family somewhere in the world wondering "If only I knew where to find details of their death in Queensland." You can help to answer that by attaching a link to the relevant person page.
Each person in the cluster grouped in a row of the table has family links to each of the others, but you do not need to attach links to them all. Just do as many as you need to feel that you understand how to do it. Unless you fall into my cunning trap of wanting to find out how the individuals are related; in which case, feel free to work through the entire branch of the tree.
