I had no idea about adding 5 underscores for unknown names! Way better than Unknown. Thank you!
I went through and changed all the ones I could find while you were talking. It makes it easier :)
I have been forced to binge delete. I learned the hard way that late night tree climbing is not a good thing. Twice I have added a person, while dead tired, and it was not a relative. So then, I add the spouse, kids, father, etc... Realizing the next time I sign in that that original add was not even related to anyone in my tree. Then I am forced to binge delete 200 or more new additions. I've done it twice! I emphasize twice. Never again when I'm tired!
How to change relationships and the five underscore for unknown last name. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
I did not know about the 5 underscores. That is one thing that I learned.
lol who would’ve known that’s some crazy stuff 😂
@@miriamschiro8585 I have a line like that. For me it is just the first letter of the first name and the last name. It was on the death records for the father of my GG grandmother. When she died it listed her father with just one letter for the first name and the last name.
Oh I missed this! I wanted to be on this live because I’m so interested in getting this done before I die.
Per my ADHD I will have to watch this again in order to really understand it 🙁 so I’m so glad thisis readily available for us thank you 😊 I saved it 👍🏽
Love building my family tree.
I’m so glad I watched this. I’ve been building my tree on Ancestry a long time and learned 3 new things I was not aware of. THANK YOU YOU! 🙂
If you do surnames that you are certain about in UPPER CASE, and ones you aren't certain about in (lower case) you know who the unknown one is related to. Using underscores you don't know.
I always learn something , thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have answered so many questions I've had about Ancestry family trees. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you posted this video.
I learned about the 1930 census asking if you had a radio:...I checked my paternal grandparents home and nobody on the page had a radio...everyone was poor in Oklahoma in 1930.
Where would you put a child father but not married to his mother
The data entry screen at 1:11:30 has introduced some new bugs. It no longer shows the user corrected data as possible alternatives. So when Ancestry have made a mistake in their transcriptions, you no longer get the change to even see the correct data here. You have to look at the record first and remember the user corrections; then enter them yourself in the data entry screen.
Massive step backwards.
So I would put my mom’s maiden name?
Always use a woman's maiden name.
Thank you. Do informative.
Learned how to show a parental relationship for a child born outside of marriage but not list the person as another spouse.
Question: If I am a member but do not have a subscription can I see/add the information in a census record?
Hey Folks! If you're in Austin, TX you can access Ancestry and other genealogy databases for FREE at the Carver Museum Genealogy Center and all city libraries. Same is true for at the TX Capitol's genealogy library in Austin. FYI...
Maybe there are public spaces in your city that provides free access too.
I have a question or two. First let me say, I'm adopted and I've had 2 separate trees on Ancestry for years. One for my adopted family and one for my biological family to go with my DNA results. I decided I would try and build a new tree to include everyone but I'm already running into problems. Why don't all my siblings show up in my timeline on my profile? And why when looking at printing a report does it not distinguish my parents as adoptive and biological and also not listing my sons fathers, one shows and the other doesn't, whom I was not married to? Plus I'm not sure that I want to constantly have to make a switch in preferred parents in order to see the separate trees. Can't something simpler be done?
Oh dang! I wish you guys had a help program here in Denver CO to help us start a family tree. I will join better in not computer savvy
But hints to building your tree aren’t free and that’s not good. How are you supposed to know if you are doing it correctly if you can’t use it?
Agree
Hi Crista, from Monterey, California 🌊♥️
I don't think this live. I think it is a rebroadcast of Zoom meetting Wednesday.
I learned how the tree can show divorces.
Why do I need to pay to add more people to my tree that I have had for years
How to change relationship! Don’t always take things for granite check things out. You teach something new to us every time you’re on. Is well appreciated. Can’t wait till two weeks is up so we can see you again. Marking it in my calendar as we speak.
After doing family history research since the 1990s, I am highly disappointed with the newest changes in Ancestry. While there may be "60 billion records" its becoming more and more unreliable and frustrating since 2023 to get much research accomplished through Ancestry database. The amount of non-specific data that comes through for a specific search is disappointing and frustrating. The newest DNA "updates" have messed up my family history DNA tremendously. I know where my family came from, and this new DNA update is completely wrong. I am beginning to recognize that an Ancestry subscription is getting pretty useless.
O wow 😮 thx for letting us know 😒
There is another one that they stated the same thing about this ancestry company and said that that’s how they got started because we want answers and we want reliable answers.
