The Family History Guide 

bridges the gap between the old and the new!

This morning I am happy to share Bob Taylor's words regarding the update that has happened this morning on The Family History Guide.

"Inside the New Menus 

With the development of the new Partner pages for The Family History Guide, we found it necessary to makes some minor changes to the menus at the top of each screen. As of 9/7/2017, the menu options on most pages will look like this:

Notice that the middle section is new: it includes drop-down menus for each of the four main Partner sections. "FS" = FamilySearch; "AN" = Ancestry; "MH" = MyHeritage; and "FMP" = Findmypast. Previously, there was a single "Projects" menu that had options at the bottom to switch between partners. Now there is a separate drop-down menu for each Partner (FS, AN, MH, and FMP).

Below is an example of the old Projects menu, followed by examples of what you see when you hover over each new partner menu:

(NEW)

             

So instead of "switching Partners" at the bottom of a Projects menu, you can now easily "dance" with the Partner of your choice by selecting it from one of the drop-down menus at the top of the screen. This gives all Partners equal space, and it makes switching easier when you need to.

A few more changes:

• "Project 9" at the bottom of these menus now reads as simply "Countries". Because the number of Projects per Partner now varies between 6 and 8, the "9" could be confusing.
• SPOILER ALERT: The Misc. menu now looks like this:

What's different? The new section with family history activities for Family, Singles, Youth, and Children. Previously, there was only a Children's page: now there are activities for all categories. Be sure to check out the new post by Angelle Anderson here:

Enjoy the new menus and the new Activities section, and let us know if you have any questions. Have a great week!"

Thank you for these changes and improvements, Bob!
