I don’t know if I’m just doing something wrong but I built my family tree and the website seems to have barely any information about my family at all. I found out more just checking out our national archives then what I found on this website. It’s maybe worth noting that I’m not in the US and it does appear to be somewhat US-centric.
The best it could find was a couple of enrollment records for voting and a single immigrant notification in an old newspaper. It didn’t find these either by itself, I had to manually go though the search system to find it. The OCR didn’t even get the spelling of the name correct.
I’m not sure what I expected but it was definitely better than this, especially for all the pay walls they throw up.
I thought if I put my name and my parents and grandparents in, it would help me build a tree. Then it was so who are your great grandparents? removed that’s why I’m here!?
Yeah exactly. I would have thought by the time I gave it a parents name or two that would be enough, but no.
How did you do your username like that? Is it just emojis?
Step 1: have an unrequited desire to be the center of attention
Step 2: emoji
Step 3: Don’t fucking care because I use an app that blocks that shit.
Check out Voyager if it bugs you so much.
It doesn’t bug me that much, I was making a joke. It’s like the Internet version of naming your daughter Genefyr
I do wish we had an IRL app to force correct spellings of common names on birth certificates.
Yet another thing we can learn from Sweden.
It’s a fancy text generator off Google. I’m not certain it is emojis, then you can change your display name on he website.
