I just searched and didn't get any results for P7ZV-3QJ. It might be worth contacting FamilySearch support if you're still seeing it?

I had to opt in to use CETs, so unless they've changed that I assume you'd have to be aware of them if you were using them! Did you upload a GEDCOM file at all?

I've seen that message before when I've been working on a CET (private tree) and it's found a duplicate in the main public tree.

I'm sure sed is technically the wrong tool for editing GEDCOM files. But if it works...

Internacia Kantaro
En mia lastmonata artikolo, mi traktis la demandon pri la unua kanto en Esperanto. Hodiaŭ mi volas pli detale priskribi la fruan Esperanto-muzikan kulturon, kiu ekzistis antaŭ la ofta uzado de registr...

Fakte mi tute forgesis pri la kasedoj de la lernolibro! Dankon pro la memorigo. Eble oni ankaŭ konfuzis la du titolojn antaŭe, kaj estas pro tio ke oni menciis kasedan version de la albumo en la 90aj jaroj, sen iu ajn alia trovebla fonto. Do dankon!

Probably my favourite of the Radio 4 quizzes. Hopefully they'll find a new producer for Brain of Britain soon though!

Ĉu iu scias pri kaseda versio de la albumo "Jen Nia Mondo" de Duo Espera? Kompreneble mi scias pri la vinila diskego (1967), sed Rok-Gazet' n-ro 9 mencias postan kasedan re-eldonon. Ĉu iu havas - aŭ havis - ekzempleron kaj povus diri al mi, en kiu jaro la kasedo aperis? #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

It's the probability of any rain at all in the specified time period, which in the UK is defined as at least 0.1mm. It's calculated by running a simulation of the weather many times with a range of values for things that can't be known in advance, and counting the number of times rain is predicted.

More sketches in my black sketchbook. This time with soft pastel pencils. This might be my favorite material so far. They pop and I can still work precise with them. I hope you enjoy seeing my experiments. For me it has been fun to work with supplies I haven’t worked with for years. #Art

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world
A photo of a few lines from a Welsh-language novella that includes two characters briefly speaking Esperanto.

I was expecting this record ("Lithuanian Song in Esperanto") to be kinda folky, but it actually turned out to be more like easy listening!

Mi imagis ke tiu ĉi disko estus iom popolkanteca, sed fakte ĝi estas kvazaŭ "easy listening"! (Ĉu oni diras "facilan aŭskultadon"?)
Record on a turntable with the cover propped up behind. The cover is green and has a drawing of a bird, with the text "Litova Kanto en Esperanto". The record has a yellow label with the Cyrillic logo of the Soviet record company Melodiya.

"In the Steppes of Central Asia" by Borodin, recorded in 1929. Some passages on this side 1 are at an unusually fast tempo. Judging by the amount of dead wax, I'm wondering if it was performed faster than planned - usually they liked to put as much as possible on the first side.
