Useless FSFT "new" information

It says, “What’s New” FamilySearch has new information for 7835 of your people. But look, the “new information” is UNKNOWN FATHER on Family Tree versus the person does not have a father in RM 9. That isn’t my idea of “new information.”

Looks to me that there isn’t a Father record in RM but there is a Unknown Father record in FS. So you have the option of adding FS to your RM.
Click on “Show on FamilyTree” and you will see that Angelina has a Mother & Father. You can determine how the Father was added. Someone might have just added a “unknown” to show she had a father.

FamilySearch will always show Unknown father/mother when its a single parent family. Not all the information is viewable on FamilySearch. That is why you may have someone show on the changes list but not personally seen anything different.
