FamilySearch has been looking into this process to correct errors to the records. They are continually working to improve their processes and to provide indexes to more of the records in their vast collection. They tell me they have only scratched the surface of indexing the many records they have available in the Granite Mountain Records Vault and the additional records continually being gained by sending missionaries worldwide to digitize records. Recently they received the largest record set ever from one country, Italy, and are working to index all of those Italian records.
With the need to preserve and share accurate information about your family, FamilySearch understands your need and provides two ways that you can do so on the internet, at no charge. You can submit your accurate, well-documented family information to the Pedigree Resource File. This is done by submitting your pedigree in a GEDCOM file to Pedigree Resource File and your pedigree will be preserved as it was submitted. These submissions are not combined with any other records but they do become searchable as a resource under Trees (not to be confused with Family Tree).
The second option is to add your family information to new.FamilySearch.org or the Family Tree at FamilySearch.org which will soon replace new FamilySearch. In these collaborative pedigrees, family members work together on their family information. You can add information; add family members, relationships and details. You can delete or edit incorrect information by using the Family Tree which you could not do in new FamilySearch. You can add notes, sources and discussions. These fields help all family members to understand what sources are available about their family and what research has been done. Discussions enable families to resolve their differences about the data.
