Working with your Dad on a Sunday night is precious. My dad got me into the family tree research and I ran with it, way back in 1994. We managed to have a trip back to his birth town last year before he passed away in November, now there is just me in the immediate family that is interested. I wish he was still here to share the progress with.
Crista I feel like you are part of my family as I turn to your videos on a daily basis for genealogy journey. I never gave a second glance at directories until one night I actually opened on and read the detail. I’m sure you heard me scream when a brick wall suddenly exploded. After searching for years I found a directory with siblings which led to more sources and well, rabbit hole of total excitement. I can’t thank you enough for all of your knowledge. ❤
Crista, I felt like you were talking directly to me! Thank you for your awesome presentation! What an awesome thing to do with your Dad on Sunday nights! Treasure your parents! My husband got me started asking questions when I would talk to my Mom on Saturday mornings. She gave me some information but I wanted more. Her answer was "why do you want to know more?" She passed away in 2005 before I could tell her what I had found and have been finding. I've been able to trace her Father's side of the family all the way back to the First Colony! I've been doing "happy dances" ever since. My Father's family came from Romania so I can't get as much information there. I just want to thank you for your talk! Enjoy your nibblings!!
I would love to see the 1921 British census on ancestry. Also a far better filtering of searches. Whenever filter a search as exact searches it almost always says zero matches found. I pull the filter back and a hundred matches found with the exactly same spelling.
Thanks for sharing about acknowledging the original owner of a photo, (even a document) I know that the original owner of a photo may have tons more information about a person than a person who copied it. I ALWAYS share how I obtained a photo if I have added a copy to my tree. When I post, I now add in the description how I obtained the item. If they copy that photo, my statement is attached to the photo in the description and will share right along with the photo.
The older I get the more I realize how important it is to make notations when uploading a photo or a document. Chances are 10 years from now I'm not going to remember where I got it
I have lots of hints for photos from a cousin. She copied from my tree as I am the original owner of the photos. She shared them to her tree and now I receive hints on my photos.
@@elizabethalioto1758 this happens when the new poster download the photo and then re-uploads it to their own tree. If they simply share the photo from the original tree to their own tree it creates a linkage and avoids making new hints. Took me a couple years to figure that out
I’m so excited As a Nigerian American this gives me life❤ I’m finding that my ancestors voted during the reconstruction era not sure if that is a result of the awesome work of ancestry Would love a special collection that speaks to my African heritage
I used to have 1 tree per grandparent. They were eventually merged because adding nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, etc, to each tree became too cumbersome. By merging the trees, I found duplications of people which led to finding cousins related in multiple ways. Ex; my mother's siblings married distant cousins of my father. Therefore my maternal first cousins are also 4th and 5th paternal cousins.
I have an ancestor that is my 11, 12, 13 and 14 great grandfather in 74 different pathways. Endogamy is a very common thing in my family history (Acadians).
I had recent ancestors less than 200 years ago from Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Slovenia and Switzerland and only have the same 2 USA communities since I tested.
Crista, you've already made a major impact on your nieces and nephews, etc. just by your intense interest in genealogy. It's a legacy that will probably have a profound effect on your family, now and in the future.
I trying to use this ancestry/newspapers and there is no button to go back one screen, there is not a new tab for me to go back to my list of options to look at. I tried that big left arrow, which I have tried before and it still takes me to HOME. That is not where I want to go.
Is the enhanced shared matches going to be available with a DNAplus subscription? A video I just watched from Ancestry said it's coming 1st half of 2024 but you had to have protools.
I would love to have a genealogy buddy or two. I would not even care if that person was my family member. I am love making discoveries in other people's families as well as mine.
Very interesting presentation. One point I often think of is as time passes many family trees will have living person entries that will become deceased. If the records are not updated there could be many entries with age's well past 100 + and still living. Does Ancestry have any plans to mark a person as deceased after a certain age ?
With the social climate these days I feel that there needs to be a minor update to the format. When you enter a person's name I feel that there needs to be another name field added to this: reasons being: adoptions the first name line can be for the legal name at birth and a second name field for the adopted name field. This can also work with the binaries and trans, like my daughter in law changed her name legally because she thought she would become a published author, criminals with known aliases, immigrants etc. next to suffixes you can have another drop down menu to identify the name as a legal, alternative, or a preferred nickname.
What has happened of the birth, marriage & death records since 2007, will they be up loaded at some point in the future. Also what about the 1921 census access information, will they be done in the first future.
Just to clarify, for the ANCESTRY FAMILY PLANS new subscriptions...5 people total. All working on the SAME tree?? Of course, that makes sense but I have 2 cousins each working on their own VERSION of our shared family. I would love to collaborate with them as a family group. When will new fee structures be available? My subscription ends in June so can I switch over before then?
currently as i do not know who my mum's dad is, i have 6 different trees to each dna associated to the matches till i get a match between 2 trees and then merge them in till i get to know who my maternal grandfather is then i will make 1 tree
The problem with Communities and Communities by Parent is that the "Featured matches" for that community are 3 very close family members. Those people are in all of my communities. So this makes that feature useless. It would be more helpful if "featured matches" were your top 10 matches that are from that community.
Beautiful presentation, great information but the Pro-Tools idea is terrible. You are trying to charge extra for basic functionality; please stop this madness and make one subscription tier which sets the bar for everyone else.
There is no marriage record for my 4th great grandma and no records of her prior to marrying her husband. She is a complete brick wall. No parental info, notbing.
You know what would be great, to be able to download segment data for shared matches to put into a real DNA painter tool. This sibscription is expensive, then the put up a pay wall for "pro tools" and can't even see segment data for chromosome painting. This company is greedy.
maybe off topic but is it possible for the AI to search by address rather than just a name? as i have seen people living at a address but then still be there years later but not noted in a electroral roll.
Ancestry has robbed us again! Just a few days ago, the "View Another Account" link disappeared. I suppose you are expected to pay a separate fee to research other accounts that you manage!
And still no real chromosome browser. How are you not embarrassed to tout all these trivial features and new ways to charge people increased fees, while Ancestry refuses to give us what we really need: a true chromosome comparison tool? We’ve been clamoring for one for years. Shame on them, and shame on you.
Then they’d have to list everyone in the US as indigenous. Because we didn’t all come from Europe, or Asia, etc. If they detect indigenous ethnicity in a sample, they list it; if not, then not.

What a special experience that you had with your dad! Thank you for sharing and thank you for doing your family history work!! 🌳✨
Who else was clapping at home! Who else thought there needed to be a lot more clapping there!
We appreciate you cheering us on!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Christa, it is so wonderful to see the "Real Christa" Thank you for your willingness to share your passion. Your Aunt Polly would be proud of you!
We agree!!
Love the story she works with her father on Sunday and I am glad I listened to this today.

Yes this is so important! Thank you!!
Always so fun listening to you talk. Thank you ❤
💚💚💚
Crista, I love listening to your videos. They are inspiring, motivating and I learn so much from you. Bless you for all you do.
Thank you so much! We are glad that you find them useful! Thank you for doing your family history work 💚

All about her.
Thank you 😊
Just noticed the genetic groups were updated again in the last few days, looked good.
I had recent ancestors less than 200 years ago from Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Slovenia and Switzerland and only have the same 2 USA communities since I tested.
Wow! What an exciting find 🧬

Good presentation. Grabbed my attention with the skirt story😂😂😂😂.
Family Groups ❤💯

I finally found out about why you are tagged the "Barefoot Genealogist."
I would love to have a genealogy buddy or two.
I would not even care if that person was my family member. I am love making discoveries in other people's families as well as mine.
What a fun idea! The more, the merrier 🤗
Is there a genealogy society near you? Or choose a society in a town / county / state your ancestor lived in!

This is awesome, which there would be more on Mexico.

This was fabulous

I'm lucky my 7yr old Granddaughter is fascinated
Great presentation
More custom tags PLEASE
Ten minutes in and she hasn't told us any precise new thing on Ancestry. I think I will go back to my own family history work.

So this makes that feature useless. It would be more helpful if "featured matches" were your top 10 matches that are from that community.

We’re sorry to hear that! Don’t give up though! You are doing so much good 💚

This company is greedy.
Sadly, I am the only one in my family who is interested in Family History let alone actually being involved in it.
You are making such a big difference in your family tree! Keep up the good work 💚🌳

Crista we are 9th Cousin's!
How exciting!!
Technology is good but AI made a lot of mistakes with the 1950 censuses.
Lots of new fees

The intro was very boring, get to the point of the video, Why is the focus mainly on the US
Way to kill the hobby. Thanks ancestry for your greed.
Why doesn't this test list black Americans as indigenous Americans? We did not all come from Africa.
Then they’d have to list everyone in the US as indigenous. Because we didn’t all come from Europe, or Asia, etc. If they detect indigenous ethnicity in a sample, they list it; if not, then not.
@@Historian212 No they don't. These tests are rigged.
