When using historical records at beta.familysearch.org you might come across a “system origin of “EASy” and wonder what it means. For an example, see the record for Anna Pereira, baptized 19 Mar 1783 in São Luiz Rei, Mostardas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the “Brazil Baptisms, 1688-1935” collection. According to the FamilySearch website, EASy stands for Extraction Administration System. This is the system used prior to FamilySearch Indexing“

You might also come across a system origin of “ODM”
ODM stands for Ordinance Data Management Records
“These are records that a person wrote down, then took to the temple for ordinance work. This was typed onto a form for the ordinance and then typed into the computer where a temporary card was produced. They were handled 3 times and are prone to errors. They did not have the project management and strict guidelines that Indexing now has. The ODM files can be used to point to original sources.” – quoted from Sister Soliday, TA, FamilySearch Support
