RECORDS SPREADSHEET FAQ

As of October 8, 2023.

This is basic info on the sortable table of Dobie records which I've extracted from familysearch.org, and hope to later extract from various public Canadian databases. Even though the table is huge, IT CAN BE DISPLAYED ON A SMALL SCREEN DEVICE, even a cellphone – it works fine on my Galaxy A03s, but sorting takes a while.

The name of the database is the first field in the table; copy it down because you may want to search it later. No, this table doesn't automagically link you to each record – you'll have to do a tiny bit of work yourself :-)

The familysearch.org record collections which I searched for DOBIE records are listed below. In the future, if I see a record set which familysearch has updated, I'll extract a new set of DOBIE records and replace them in this table.

When you first display the table, the records are presented in the order they were displayed to me on familysearch. The record collections are in the order of the list below. Some sets contain as few as one record and others contain almost 900.

Here are some general questions you might have, with the answers. If I haven't answered your question, please ask me (the link to my email is at the bottom of this page).

• Q: Why can't I look at the table with my i-device?
  A: Your device may not have enough internal memory to handle the large amount of data involved, let alone sort it.
• Q: Why does it take so long for the table to sort?
  A: The slower your computer – the less memory and/or the slower the chipset – the longer it takes to sort, but it works fine on my Galaxy A03s, but sorting takes a while.
• Q: Why can't I find a record for (insert ancestor here)?
  A: The table contains the search results for "DOBIE" at the point in time I did the search (about 1 April, 2020). I suggest you do a more thorough search on the familysearch.org website. Your ancestor may have records in the USA or another country, and this table only has Canadian records (for now anyway).
