Today I was exploring Family Tree. It is the new way to look at the data in New Family Search. It is accessed by logging onto Family Search.org using your LDS user name and password.
I know it is a pain to learn something new, but how are you going to stimulate those "little gray cells" so that you do not get Alzheimer's disease? The Lord does not want us to stay in our comfort zone. He certainly didn't. Follow His lead!
After you have logged into Family Search and put in your LDS user name and password, the screen will refresh and up on the left hand top of the screen you will see, next to the logo, Family Tree. Click on it. It will bring up a four generation pedigree chart. The next thing to do is to go to Ivin Lafayette Gee if you are a member of the family. If you are not a member of the family you can search for KWZV-WDY. Click on his name and then click on View Ancestor. This will bring up his record. Now scroll down There is Vital Information, Family Members, and Sources. Under Sources you will see Find a Grave. Click on that icon and you will see URL and a link to the material on Find a Grave website. Click and see a photo of Ivin and a bio and a photo of the grave stone.
Think of the possibilities of sharing information. I decided to try it for my mother Pearl and grandfather William Erastus Gee and my 3rd great grandfather Salmon Gee. Look and see what information that you can find. Perhaps you have something that you would like to share, a photo, a story, a history or resource on your ancestors or family members. Let me know what you think.
P.S. Unfortunately Family Tree is limited to Beta testers at present. I will post when it is released for general viewing.
