For a long time FamilySearch was making changes to the
website once a quarter or four times a year. That was a challenge to keep up
with. But things are changing faster and faster. Now changes are being released
on more of an “as needed” basis, requiring all of us to have a bit more
patience and flexibility.
Here is a recap of the most recent changes.
1.
The
Feedback Tab was removed. This was originally
a part of the beta test and is no longer needed on each page. You can still
send feedback from a link on the Home page or from inside the Help Center.
2.
A New
Viewer for Images. The Flash viewer was eliminated because it will not work
on most mobile devices. With the new viewer the Print button prints exactly
what is displayed on the screen. So make sure you have the image centered the
way you want it before printing. You can click and drag the image around.
3. A New Layout for Search Results. The
new format takes out much of the wasted “white space” on the page. You can see
more results on one page and extra fields of data are displayed.
4. Notes that were part of the original
Pedigree Research File submissions are displayed on the results screen.
5. The
old Ancestral File Numbers that were
previously removed from FamilySearch have now been added back so you can find a
specific person you have a number for.
