How very thoughtful of you. You are welcome to join the Data Doctors Project if you wish. Have a very Merry Christmas and Boxing Day!
Stay safe, Sheryl
Error-962 should be at most a Warning because if the website no longer exists then the citation is correct as it stands.
I agree that finding a new domain for a dead one can be complicated, but when you do, you can easily correct all other 962 suggestions related to the same domain.
histfam.familysearch.org is no more....
... but there is a way to find the very good trees they had contained.
A note from [email address removed]
The FHL's Community Trees databases (notably the Welsh Genealogy database) which used to be at histfam.familysearch.org is now available, in a different format, at familysearch.org. It's included in a larger platform which also encompasses (unfortunately, in my opinion) the Ancestral File, the Pedigree Resource File, and the IGI.
At familysearch.org, click on "Search", then "Genealogies", which will bring up a search page:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/family-trees
If you want to search only the Community Trees database (recommended, in my opinion), go to the bottom of the page next to the "Search" button, click on the "All" dropdown menu, and click "Community Trees". All the information in the Welsh Genealogy database is still there, but in a considerably different display format. It takes some time to get used to the changes, but it does work....
edit - updated a link
