Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Hi all, I have a question about Familysearch as I don't use it that often. If the digital file numbers are in succession of each other does this mean they are siblings? Assuming of course that they have the same family name. :)

Not guaranteed at all. Even if they're on the same volume/page its no guarantee either. Some names are extremely common in specific areas and you will get duplicates/clashes
