FH research suggestions?

Post by bonniesamuel » 20 Jan 2008 15:42

I currently used Legacy which suggests research options and links to Ancestry.com to explore these options. Does FH have such a feature?
Thanks, Bonnie

You can link to ancestry, by selecting the person and then jumping to ancestry from the menu.

Just to expand Jane's description at bit.

If you select a person in the record window, then select the Internet menu followed by Search the Internet... you get a list of websites to search. Four of these websites (Ancestry, Family Search, and Rootsweb) enable the Search Details section at the bottom of the window which by default will have the details of the person you've selected. You can type anything in if you want.

I use GenSmarts to look for research suggestions. Family Historian users can choose the option to work with GEDCOM files.
