A few more thoughts about the project to consider:


 * Please remember that we are asking for your opinion. If you were the one who entered your search query into FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, Google.com, or any other search engine, how would you feel about the result?


 * Also, the training presentation that goes step-by-step through the project contains the opinions of the creator. As I said before, we are asking for your opinion, so you may disagree with some of the values that the creator of the training entered. Personally, I would have entered a 1 in the Relationship field for Line 2 in the example (slide 9), because the query included father and mother and the result did not, but I can understand the opinion that led her to index a 4 (I suppose she was thinking we can infer that because his name is Michael Kline, his father might also be named Michael Kline). On Line 6, I would have indexed a 5 for the Date field (slide 12) because all dates are within the date range of the query (1900-2010). We are simply asking for you to judge how you would feel if these results were given to you after you entered your query.


 * Finally, a little further explanation as to why “Not requested by query” equals a 5. The logic behind the 5 is that because you didn’t ask for the information, any information that we give you in the result is just a bonus, above-and-beyond what you asked of us.
