Record matches & documents

SSDI record matches

For deceased people, Family Forest can offer Social Security Death Index matches that corroborate birth and death years. On the person's page, tap Save to keep a match as a source, or No to dismiss it.

SSDI matches only appear when the SSDI dataset is loaded on the server. If you don't see this section, the dataset isn't installed β€” that's expected, not a problem.

Documents

Records imported from a genealogy program (censuses, marriage records, yearbooks) show in the Documents strip on a person's page. Tap a thumbnail to view the document.
