FamilySearch Has Updated the Person Pages

 




FamilySearch has been working on a redesign for some time and the new pages can be accessed by clicking on the link in the upper right corner of the old pages (see below). Some of the new features, as seen in the top picture, include a timeline on the right-hand side of the "About" page accessed from the toolbar just under the main header. This feature includes not only events recorded in the data sections, but it also contains historical events that give background and context to an ancestor's life. 


Clicking on the "View With Map" link at the bottom of the timeline section will bring up a map that will show the location of the events. 



This autumn may be a good time to become familiar with the new pages. Beginning in early 2023, the old pages will disappear completely.
