 Freature Friday episode and I don't know about you guys, but Julie and I are really excited about this We are there's so much cool stuff on wiki tree and We can't wait to share some of it with you We sort of decided to do these videos because we've talked a lot lately about new members and how we can help new members You know be more successful on wiki tree and something that comes up often is that? People say well, I didn't know who know about that. I didn't know this was here I've been on wiki tree pretty active since 2013 and I still find stuff that I did not know existed And so we thought it would be really fun to do a couple videos a month where we can showcase some of the really cool stuff The wiki tree has to offer and then hopefully Help everybody not just new members Be more successful and have a better experience and really be able to make use of the great tools that wiki tree has to offer so Yes Yes, oh you look like you're about to say something. No, I was just getting my little tabs ready. Okay So for today's feature we are going to do our part one of the overview of the apps that are available There are actually quite a few of them. I didn't realize until we started going through them and There are some that we can combine into a video like this where we can show you them There's others that are actually pretty elaborate and those we're going to cover in future Episodes more on their own. So we have the time to really get into what they can do. So we're going to do Part one of apps today and then in a couple in a month We're going to do another apps one where we'll do an overview of Some of the other ones and then in between that In two weeks, we'll have Rob Pavey and he's going to go over his AGC and his sorcery apps, which are super popular So we're really excited about that and then going forward we want to cover things like categories and projects and Things like the family tree and tools the tutorial pages Relationship finder a connection finder all the cool things you've been able to do with those and you know all the kind of hidden gems and tips and tricks that are All over the website. So we're really excited about that. But today Julie is going to I'll be cartoon Julie Can I go through 10 10 today So if you have questions or comments or tips while she's going through them You can post them in the chat and after each app We'll check to see if there's any questions or if someone has a suggestion on how to use it And we'll share those or try to answer those two. So oh and Full disclosure here some of these I hadn't used before this week So I'm not an expert on any of them But I I think I covered all the features on them So if you guys have better ways to use them that I'm not hitting on just say so and we'll take a look at whatever you have to suggest So the first thing we're going to get started with is the ancestry citation builder I'm going to click over here to the apps page. Anyone. Can you share the screen for us? I can So the ancestry citation builder is here on the help apps page Like you guys are probably familiar with that. That's where you can find all of our bits and pieces that fit with wiki tree So it's right here Pop that open So This was written by Greg Clark Greg is most famous for his fan chart and we'll cover that another day But he's got here a piece of software. It's really like a whole piece of software in one web page Where he can help you build a citation to add to a profile. There's a lot of moving parts here So I'm going to try and keep it simple. I'm just going to do an ancestry index record So I have a profile here. Do you see James Henry lotta? Is it showing my whole window? It's showing you're good Okay, excellent. So I'm going to scroll down here. I have a death record for him and Actually, I already created the thing because I didn't want to be unprepared so we're going to go look at his death record over here on Ancestry So on Greg's page, I have selected ancestry indexed record I'm telling it which side I use you can do it for any of the different countries that have ancestry available. I want to put The URL in here for the record. I just pop up here to the address bar and grab it pop that in the field And you can ask it because we we all use ancestry, but it's a subscription site So I Actually like to use this little checkbox here that says require subscription Excuse me require subscription so people know that if they go out there, they may not be able to look at it I'm another neat feature that that he has available is that you can choose from a list for sets of Records out there. So if you don't know You don't want to type all of it in actually you can you can probably find what you're looking for here and on James's We're going to be using the New York US death index. So I think that's on here Yeah, and I know I talked to Greg about this because I I started using this and The things that aren't listed can be added by other people So he said added to added to the drop-down The are you on the section? I think you're on Where it does the type of What it is I'm doing this source quick pick Yeah So the repository I Don't see the one that I'm looking for so and that's okay. We don't need to use that So next thing you want to do is go to the source information So you go back to your record and this is really self-explanatory as this labeled Well, there was a section on ancestry for source information. You just copy Copy that into the box You can even expand the box if you need to I Don't Source citation again on ancestry. That's right here. I'll try to pick up the pace here a little bit I don't want to put anybody to sleep The source or the search path is really just how if you went into a Collection of records and you needed to drill down to find the record That's what this source path is or search path is I'm not doing that for this record because the link should take you straight to the record So we're not going to do that for this particular record Date access is is already filled in Free to view image link so that I can go back over here. I can view the image. I Love the free to view image app or image link. So you can go to the share You can just use like a Facebook. It's not going to post it to Facebook without you saying more Oh, it says it's not set up for me. So I'm gonna say okay, but still when I come out look It's already there. It puts in a little box So we'll copy that Can fill that in images are great Final note transcription I've gone through like 10 apps in the last three days Somebody tell me the final note slash transcription Let's see. I guess I could probably add something in there on my own Or I could copy this stuff in Yeah, I think that field is just for anything additionally my way. Yeah, yeah And we can do new line characters if we want I'm not going to do that, but I am going to compile it. I'm going to use a simple ref So this will create an inline citation that I can just paste right into the profile You'll notice it's got ref there the closing tag there It's got the ancestry templates I'll copy that and we can go look at it over here on like I said, I already put this in here once as I was goofing around Just for fun. I'll put it down here and take the rough tags out and there's your citation. We'll do a preview Now one thing it did is it kind of gave me a paid or a line break here that I am not crazy about So I'll fix that. I think I would prefer to just have that there. There you go Easy peasy Yep So that's a great way I mean, I I don't know about the rest of you but when I used to use ancestry to get citations I never liked how they ended up It just seemed a little, you know wonky to try and move everything over and then this app that Greg wrote actually uses our External link templates to create the sharing links and everything. So that's really handy. Yeah, it's nice Yeah, so I'm gonna yeah, so that's about all I have to show you for that. I'm gonna back out of yours And so I already have that on here Does it has anybody else use this much do you have any other tips and tricks for us? Now Nancy was saying she usually adds the name of the source and the profile somewhere in the citation. Oh Jillian can the citations be used on other sites, too. Oh I would think so as in copy paste them Sure, why not? Yeah, I'm happy sure Except those external link templates won't work for you. So you would want to replace those with just the URL probably Right. Yeah And Benjamin go ahead. No, go ahead. I say Benjamin wants to know if that requires a subscription Well, it's creating ancestry Citations. So yeah, ancestry does require a citation or a subscription So, yeah So that's kind of a cool app great has worked hard on this Greg works hard on all of the apps that he makes for if he just does a great job He really does. He's done a lot of really cool stuff. Yeah So we'll move on What's next? We are gonna talk about oh, this is another one of my favorites the biography generator. Oh Yeah, I like that one. I know I I played around with that quite a bit this week And I discovered a way to use it That I hadn't thought of before cool so If you want to pop me up there into Yeah, I will I just wanted to show again where the help They're all listed on the apps help page so you can get to that. Yes, right there Yeah, so you can just do a control F and search for stuff or you can just scroll So I popped open the biography generator here It's a very simple-looking tool, but it does something really cool that I just didn't think about until the other day So here is like my second great-grandfather. I don't really have much of a biography for him yet So let me grab his oh, I still have muscle memory to grab the URL when I can just go here and get his ID So I'm gonna put his profile ID there And I'm gonna check this box that will include spaces for inline citations And I'm gonna generate a biography for him magic. Look at that Nice isn't that cool? So here's my helpful tip for that. I'm gonna first of all I'm gonna break it into Paragraphs and I can do that right here in this box. Nice So, let's see. There's his parents He married and had six children And he died so of course he did a lot more than that but Right, right, so I'm gonna go ahead and copy this into his profile. I have some of these records over there But mostly I think I just have I Have a marriage record and some other stuff. Okay So I'll edit his profile And I will pop that in here So as you can see we have citation needed here So I don't have a birth record for him So I know that I need it well citation one doesn't really tell me a whole lot so I'm gonna do this I'm gonna say citation needed birth record Nice and I need a Need a record that shows Parents names I Need a marriage record which I do have down here I have an old Yeah, this is a research note. I haven't Brain doesn't work like that. I Have a marriage record. So we'll put that up here and It lists all the children. I personally am not a fan of putting Citations for each child in because those are on their profiles. So I'm gonna take that out. That's your own preference Personal preference. Yeah. Yeah, you can do that if you want but I'm gonna take them out and I Know that he died that I don't have a citation for it yet. I have a burial citation, but so I need a death reference So now that I've edited those watch this. This is like my favorite tip of the day Let's see. I Have a little to-do list down here now of the records that I need. I Know that's not super clever, but it is Well, that's cool. That's a good idea. Yeah So now I know when I come in here I can look down in my sources section and see where I need to start searching for more information Exactly what you need to look for. Yeah So there's my my most helpful tip of the day. I think I like that Yes, so I'm gonna save this one because I hadn't Really added anything for him yet So does anybody else have any helpful helpful hints for us? I I've got a quick coming over here You're gonna have to read the helpful hints I I will If there were any John did ask if there's a way to create Scotland's people citations And I'm pretty sure that Rob is working that into his Sorcerer app So that would be a good one to bring up next time. Mm-hmm When he's here perfect for that question. Yeah. Yeah, great Yeah, and that would be a great time to add to his to-do list if he hasn't added that to this. I That I saw it come up in G to G and He said, you know, his intention is to add more and more things to it. So yeah Yeah and Yeah, that was about it for that one Okay, Nancy said citation needed is optional She doesn't want to scare newbies away as long as there is at least one citation in the record Yes. Yeah, I think it's cool for what Julie was talking about Yeah, I mean you don't even have to have it Here we're back again You don't even have to do the inline citation checkbox on there I just did that because I discovered I could make it to do list for myself Definitely cool. Yeah Steven is asking about wiki tree sorcerer. So Rob Pavey will be our guest two weeks from now Where we're only gonna talk about his two apps the AGC and the wiki tree sorcerer So save all your questions about those for when he's here because I know he's excited to come and talk about it and answer questions Yes, and I think Hillary she said earlier. I think she was a Did she say she was a beta tester for Rob? Yeah, I think so. Yes, I think she is yeah Yes, which is cool. Well, it'd be good to have her here Hillary mark your calendar two weeks from today Mm-hmm. Is it two weeks from today? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah It's like the week before Thanksgiving us Thanksgiving. Yep All right. So next on our list is I'm popping around here a little bit Ancestor statistics say that three times fast No, go ahead. Hey, oh And this is just kind of do you want to share again, I've got the screen up here I did Okay, so this is this you can only run from your own profile Basically, if you're logged in it will use Your ID as the base And then it will show you up to ten generations of your ancestors and This is from Jamie Nelson One of our team members who likes to write apps and she did a pretty cool thing here. So Just some useful info again ten Generations it shows you how many profiles you have for each generation. So you can or Excuse me birth dates you have for each generation So while I might have all 32 of my third great grandparents Only there's six of them that don't have date birth dates It gets worse Yeah, so that gives you a target of some things to work for of course when you get out to the Seventh-grade grandparents working on that. It's a little harder. Just a bit. Yeah So We'll just look at each column real quick. Got the earliest birth year per generation Which is kind of fun to look at The latest birth year. So there's quite a spread here in my seventh great-grandparents generation. Yeah their average birth year and Then we look at generation length, which I was a little confused by at first So I talked to Jamie and I figured it out with her help and I did a little searching on Google because I wasn't sure how to define generation length But the eye saw a general definition says you take the average birth year of Each generation and then subtract. So Right here. You see that it's years Yeah, so this 30 comes from subtracting 1678 from 1708. So this is basically like the average Average age of a person in a generation So like from when the generation started to when the next generation started does that make sense? It does. Yeah, okay So that's kind of cool to look at I Started I this was a rabbit hole for me So I started playing around just a little bit and I thought it was also cool to take Like the earliest birth year In each generation and what you found there's quite a bit of difference there, you know, like people were Much younger when the next generation started than what this indicates But that's the official officially defined generation length and Then I thought this was really interesting to the average lifespan It mostly increases But this generation right here included the Great depression Generation three So you'll notice that the average lifespan dropped off by quite a bit. It did so I thought that was really interesting you can Maybe look at your own and and see, you know, what sorts of things Were attributed to that change this also included the the 1918 flu pandemic Oh So, yeah So I just thought that was really interesting. Oh and then down here Average lifespan of everyone average generation length and your oldest ancestor. Oh, that's cool, too Yeah So that was kind of fun Jamie has a g2g post that she put out when she first created this. So if you have any suggestions or questions, that's the place to ask them nice So that's fun. That's just a fun one to me Numbers even though I can't do math on the fly. I do like numbers Yeah, yeah So a couple people asked about where you can find apps, so I will just show it again. This is the help page I've got it open right here. You can also go to the drop-down menus in the upper right corner under find It's right there at the top apps. So you can get to them that way. I Clicked instead of hovering. I don't know if you're looking at my screen or yours. No, it's not okay Yeah, but those are two ways you can just go to the help page or the find drop-down menu and apps is right there And some of them are included on your wiki tree and tools tab as well the family tree and tools Excuse me. Yes. That's what I said. Did I say that? No, you're close And then Kay asked about wiki tree plus. So let me just interject here We're actually gonna also start another type of livecast and we're calling it ask us anything or ask me anything if you've seen those before it's where Basically, we'll take a bunch of questions about a topic ahead of time And then during the livecast we'll answer those we'll answer questions from the live chat And so a lash is gonna join and ask us anything specifically for wiki tree plus in February or March So we'll be able to devote a whole a Whole question and answer just to wiki tree plus because there's no way that One Julie and I could cover it in enough time in one of these or two that we would even know all the things to answer all the questions That's the bigger problem I'm watch for that. It'll be in a couple months, but it'll be it should be really good Okay, great All right, so back to the apps here. Do you want to share me again? What are we looking at wiki tree turbo? This one I think might be a little more obscure. So I've used this for a really long time Julie and Laffy wrote this some time ago. I think it might say out here. Well, he updated it in 2020 But this is kind of a cool little extension and I have it right up here In my my extension bar. I have a lot of extensions So let me go to yes Do you want to quickly explain how there's some apps that you can just use from the apps? Help page and that there's some where you have to add an extension, right? Yeah, so this an extension is like But it's an extension it extends the functionality of your browser Some of them work in browsers besides Chrome This one I believe only works in Chrome. Let me look and see what he says here Let's see He does not say but I believe it's just Chrome and You'll notice that these browser extensions show up in a different section of the apps page So you've got your standalone apps up here And if you scroll down, you'll find the browsers extensions So these are something that works with your browser It knows when you're on a wiki tree page and it will use the data from the wiki tree page to do stuff so Was that a good description? Okay, okay, so yeah, so this is an extension. I installed it here You can get it from the Google Play Store And it will, you know be pretty self-explanatory once you get there this will this button here will change to add to Chrome When you're ready to add it. So let me close this and go grab my sample profile This is my great-grandfather and Noah Tilford he was a he was a pastor So Something the thing that I use the most from wiki tree turbo is this You know, you've got your descendants button So the wiki tree turbo adds these little expand and collapse buttons So if I want to go and work on the descendants, here's what I like to do I close them all up And then I have a simple list and I can just work through here and make sure I've got everything for everybody And when I'm done with that I can go all right Fred had two children. Let's work on those That's cool. Isn't it and then yeah, this is my grandma by the way had I think six children one of them died as a baby So then oh seven so then I can just work on those and I use the descendant list all the time So that's very cool. I love this feature. This is probably the most used feature of any of the apps that I've been using lately Nice. Yeah, so another cool thing You see this quick search button up here. I bet you haven't seen that before have you know So when I click it I can search my It takes a minute to load but I can search my watch list. I Just typed the last name Corson It's gonna it I'm gonna say it's a little bit slow. So I don't think that you didn't do anything It did hear you but it's gonna take a minute to load up here. Oh I'll wait it might be because my watch list has over 5,000 profiles Oh, I know. I got it below 5,000 for a while It's back. Oh Come on. Yes, I'm gonna wait I'm sorry you guys. I thought that this happened faster It might be right. Oh, we'll see you're gonna tell us a joke while we're waiting What does the chasaurus have for breakfast I've heard this before probably because it's my favorite pun. Oh sure go ahead a Synonym roll. Oh, yes, you did tell me that before And that was perfect timing because now it's got my stuff loaded here So I typed Corson just to see what other Corsons I have I have a bunch So it just brings them up and of course I can click on one and it will load it into the current tab So that's a cool feature to very cool Yeah, and then the third thing let's go back to grandpa a great grandpa You can tag folk people in photos This button shows up when you have this extension involved or installed And I can say no, what is here Did it and I can say little oh boy, I don't know which one Oh, they there she is. She's in the back. There she is Laura may was his wife So I'm gonna be done tagging for now It actually adds some code into a comment If you delete this comment, it will delete the tagging from your photo and you'll need to start over Yeah, right now I can go up here when I have a no, uh, it's not fun. There's Lily There's Laura. I may. Yeah So that's kind of cool, right? That is cool. Yeah So that's pretty quick that those are the three things that the wiki tree turbo extension does I don't use the photo tagging a lot because I have eight boxes of photos. I still need to load up So I haven't done much of that yet, but it isn't yeah, it's a neat feature. That's really cool I'm gonna have to add that one. Yeah, I like I said my favorite is the collapsible thing Okay, so this Nancy and I were looking at this the other day This is called What is the official title? Family search match This is gonna go through my watch list and Find matches on family search for the profiles on my watch list So you have to have a family search account So I'm gonna sign in free which is free just like us and then it will scan my watch list And I've already matched some of them up. So I know that Margaret Margarita craft has a Profile on there and I've already matched her up. I'm gonna scroll down a ways and I Know that there's yeah, this is the same guy here. Oh I'm sorry the second one. This is the same guy. So I can create a match Yep Yeah, I can get it to click so now it's added him as an existing match and I can do an update And that's gonna pop open a window where I can bring the data the external data from family search Into the profile and I can or I can compare them to make sure that they're actually the same I knew that they work as I looked at this earlier, right? So it looks like a profile merge Yeah, yeah, so then when you come down here It adds a citation for that profile on family tree or on family family search I take the HTML out because we don't like that So the one thing I mean I like that it does this because I like to have the connection there because you never it's I You always need to verify stuff you get from other sites. We always we already do that, right? It's true But it's nice to know that there's another profile over there that maybe somebody else found stuff on family search that I haven't found yet So I can go look at their work and do a comparison. Maybe they found a death record I haven't been able to find or something like that. Definitely. So this just a handy handy dandy way to do that Can you talk Steven wants to know can you undo the match once you make it? Yes, sir You've got a remove match link here And he puts it right back down in the POSSIBALS cool, and Nancy said the only disadvantage she saw is that it's an alphabetical order So if you use it, you need to pay attention to know what page you're on. Yep And if you've got a large watch list it could get a little tedious to go through it But you know you could always use control. I control f is your friend, you know search for the name up here And then just to go back to the turbo extension really quick Dee Brower wants to know if people don't have the turbo extension. Can they see the photo tags? Yes, and that's what that comment that showed up on that picture did. Let me so anybody can see it Should be able to As a matter of fact, you know what I'll do. I'll do this just for you guys. I'm gonna take that off Actually, I can shut it off. I'll just turn it off. I don't want to uninstall it So she's turning off her extension. Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna refresh and there's no button up here anymore But you can ah, it's not I thought it would it looks like the answer to that is no that you are correct That's a good question. That was a great question. I thought that it would still be there But you're you're absolutely right. I thought that this code down here would make it show up good to know Yes, thank you. Thank you. Did you say ask that Dee Brower? Thank you Dee You have enlightened us I'm gonna go turn it back on Okay, that's good to know. I That's what I thought the purpose of this comment down here was for I thought it would show it anyway I guess not No, LG price wants to know if having several apps running slows down wiki tree Have you ever noticed that it slows it down? I have no, I mean the the standalone apps. You're not usually going to run those Concurrently right you can see how many extensions I use up here Not all of them are wiki tree extensions, but you know sometimes I did run into a problem the other day where I had something We both did that where I had something that wasn't working right and oh, I know what it was the all of the radio buttons disappeared on wiki tree for me and Steve Paris and I were talking and so I shut off all of my wiki tree extensions and it fixed it And then I turned them all back on and it was fine. So, you know, I turned them back on At the time everything was fine. So I don't know what happened there Good. Yeah, Azure commented that she's never noticed a difference and I believe she uses quite a few so yeah All right, any other questions I can answer on any of those we've covered so far Not yet. What's the next one? The next one. Oh, I didn't have a sample app. I guess because I didn't feel the need This is one. I think most of you already know about Let me go to my profile real quick And I'm gonna go to Grandpa Frank Wasn't he a handsome man? He really was So root search is You can get to it two ways from wiki tree It actually works with some other sites, too But we're gonna just stick to wiki tree today. So if I go to the profile ID menu And I go to research it'll pop open a new tab Or I can just scroll down to the research section on his profile and it's right there as well This will not show up if you're working on a private profile on your watch list At least maybe it's just unlisted. I Can't remember But anyway, so when you open it it pops open this nice screen for you and it fills in all the information There's another one of my little quirks. I always just take it down to the state when I'm searching Because otherwise I feel like it it filters things too much You can remove any of the information here like if you wanted to try and search sometimes if you search census records With the parents names Entered it doesn't work very well Yeah, so you can remove and add information there. Yeah, so down on the bottom. I have all my favorite Websites lined up here that I can use for searching if I want to I can go into more sites and Enable more of them or disable some of them if I feel like I have some some that I don't use You didn't Owen I know I'm a failure You're not a failure. You're the forest elf. You can't be the fail of failure. It's a good point. Yeah So I'm just going to go to my favorite starting point and that's family search And it's going to open up the search screen and it's going to fill in all the stuff that came from research Magically, it's magic magic And there's my grandpa and his and my grandma and They're a marriage record, which I already have so I'm not going to do that But anyway, it's just a quick way to get places. It's yeah, it's really great for them Yeah, and again, well, this is family search. I'm not going to tell you how to use that but This this screen here just does it all for you and of course This is Justin York that has created this and he's got all kinds of stuff up here I don't know how or how current his blog is but you know, this is where you can get help and Whatever else you need. I think it just goes back to a help page on wiki tree. Nope. I'm totally wrong. I Haven't really used this part so But you can learn how to use it. Yep. You can learn more by going there I think most people have used this or at least most experienced wiki triggers have used this I'm curious to know Go ahead. No, you're curious to know what how many people that are watching didn't know about it. Let's wait Yeah, tell us if you did not know about it But I do think it's one of the more popular more used Yeah, I agree All right, Azure said she always takes it down to the state level too. Oh good About that choice if Azure does it then I know it's right She's a smart cookie So, okay, I'm ready to go back. Do you want to share again? I do we're gonna talk about wiki tree X not wiki tree plus Wiki tree X How does he have that on here They're not an alphabetical order either. There it is. No, that's plus. Oh It's it. It's because it's down here. There we go. No, that's not it another Justin York Masterpiece is wiki tree X. Here's the help page if you need help Talks about installation and how to use it. It is also an extension Here's the little button up here So I Used to use this all the time when I would go to family search, but there is a little bit of a bug for it it's Right now the way family search is restructured their database and or their interface When you go to family search and try to use wiki tree plus it will only work to pull information in from the principle on a record For example like you won't do the spouse and the children are Right, so if you're let me see if I can pull up a census record for Ruby. Look, I'm using Root search This is like my regular workflow here So I'm gonna pull up Ruby's This is her She is in the oh, this is her birth record. So if I pull this up I Should be able to get Ruby's information and pull it into wiki tree using wiki tree plus but if I were Sorry If I click on her father's name or her mother's name and pull up that version of this record It will not pull their information into wiki tree because it just looks at the principle just the principle. Yeah So with this record up, I'm gonna click wiki tree x and I want to update Ruby's profile Wrong thing. There we go. I put her profile ID in I Click go and Again, we're seeing it looks like another merge screen. It brings in the external data You can compare. Yep. I have her birth date from that record. I can add that I can add her Location, there's really nothing else on that record that's bringing in but it also pulls the citation in That's handy. It is When was she born? 1881 I don't know when she died. So I'm just gonna assume that Pat Coleman Did know her so we'll leave her statement there This is me being fussy taking out the HTML We don't need that anymore. This is like an old 2011 profile. So some of the stuff that that's on here. We don't need any more and so now I've got the citation in here I updated her stuff. I Can click save and look I have her birth date now Cool. We can check that off as a Friday date night wins and it looked like There were three options you could either add to an existing profile Create a new person that was attached to someone but you're saying you probably can't do that on family search That doesn't work. However, if you go to Find a grave I gotta find something quick. Let's just go to whatever pops up here We'll just use his profile if I go to find a grave I could create I could use wiki tree X to create a profile for him. So I pop it open Create an unrelated wiki tree profile click go and we'll wait for a second. I Don't tell me that part's broken I'm very sorry. It's not working Yeah, that is one thing I'll just say about the apps is that Most of these are done by people outside of the wiki tree team and so they have their information on their own sites for the most part and They are responsible for updating and fixing bugs and things like that. So sometimes you might find a bug like this where It just is yeah, there's there's if it's not an extension by Jamie or a lush pretty much There's not a whole lot. We can do that. I do know for Justin his life has gotten very busy. So He hasn't been able to stay to keep wiki tree X up to date as much as I'm sure he wish he could but They're still very useful features. Yeah, I love just being able to bring that that data over with the click of a button like that It's makes it so easy Definitely and I the creation button was working not that long ago. So my apologies for that not holding up for us there Alish says you're dating Julie I Am dating I don't know if he means I'm dating myself and how long I've been here or just No, you dated a profile Where's my glass of wine? I'm dating Yeah Alrighty So here's another fun thing go ahead As you said, I've been adding from the family search profile to add a new profile as a family member or unrelated With wiki tree X so Okay, so that's working from family search. It didn't want to work from from a fine to grave today So I'll fool around with it you guys. It's not gonna break anything So, you know, if you want to go play with it and see what is or isn't working It also I believe links to a g2g post where you can if you're having trouble with it You can post there and I do know Justin follows that He may not have a lot of time right now to do updates, but I do know he follows that And he's probably got a long to-do list for a couple of these things So our next one was this is an app I had never heard of before It's called sticker checker. Oh check stickers. I had that totally backwards Do you want to share me again? I did. Oh, you're on it? Okay, so here is Hans George Condor. He is a Palatine migration Probably. Oh, no. He is a he is an immigrant. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is pull his ID over here And he's from Germany Apparently, yeah, I did this for somebody else There's a handful of countries that you can use Mm-hmm So I clicked Germany because that's where he's from and I'm going to click submit And it's gonna take a few minutes To build the entire list, but it shows them as they're show there as they're coming up here It's gonna show me all of his descendants and Whether or not they have the German German descendant sticker So if it's in red the sticker does not exist on that profile Thank you, Joey We would not have a life without my goodness working, right? I'm trying to find one. I know there's some that have stickers in this list But they're way down and it's taking time to load What we can do while we're looking is it you can pop into that profile I Don't have the sticker handy, but you can add it into the biography and it will add them I believe does the does the descendant sticker add them to categories to a 1 I So I can't remember Yeah, I don't think it does either now that I think about it There it's just basically I think they all mostly say something like so-and-so as of Has German ancestors or as of German descent, right? Yeah, I think you're right. This one goes back quite a ways to Germany Apparently I've been in here for long enough because my dogs are have now lost their patience Okay, I know there was one in here that didn't have a sticker that did have the sticker Yeah, let's go back something else you can do you can put your own ID in here and And click submit Oh, sorry Click ancestors one button and it will go out 10 generations and get me a list of my ancestors from Germany oh Nice or whatever whatever country I selected. Yeah, that's pretty awesome Yeah, so I selected one of them and now if I submit I will get a report See there's something has sticker. It's green if she has the sticker and There should be an error down here. I did not fix all of these It's gonna take a while to load these. Ah Here it is. There's one. There's a sticker, but it's misplaced. So it will pop out there stickers belong below the biography header So I'll do that. I Don't know if it does an immediate Correction or not just was just a minor Correction and save so that's fixed now I don't think it will update this right away unless I reran the report. We saw how long that took so we're not But anyway, this is just a good way to go through and if you really are dedicated to adding all of your German descendants or Scottish or Whales Ireland in England you can find them. So that's kind of cool All right, who's next? Oh We have another way to look at our tree This is To know why stickers need to be below the biography header It's a style choice that we made Through the community. I believe sometime some time ago. We had a big discussion on G2G. Yeah the like project boxes Research notes What else what other templates do we put above biography? research notes and like project boxes and stuff go above But if if but it just plays them below. That's part of yeah, right, right? So the the stickers They okay, so let's let's talk about templates for just a second. They are the templates are what you see that use the curly braces around it around the words and If one of those is in the sticker category, it should go below the biography header and You can actually you can put it anywhere below the biography header So if you want a sticker to show up and be related to some text that you're putting in the biography You can do that. Yeah, and it just kind of shows up on the right side along with the paragraph Yeah, unless kind of says stickers next to the text describing them. Yeah So that was just a style choice that the community made Several years ago, right and we didn't even have stickers before then they're kind of relatively new To to the to wiki tree Okay so our next Final app is the topola and I don't know if I'm saying that right topola genealogy viewer poppola I'm not even going to try to pronounce our Developers name because he's I believe he's from Poland and I do not see I'm sure you know what I bet A lush could say it first first Mac Beach I think is how we say it But anyway, it's kind of a cool way to look at your tree We go in here and select a wiki tree ID. I'll just put in mine. I Can't type Take a minute and it's going to pop my tree in here and give us a few a few more features that we don't have within the website It kind of creates a dynamic tree that you can move around and look at different generations and stuff. There we go So there's me and my husband. Oh, yeah. Yeah Go up here. You can zoom in and out just by scrolling I'm I have a Touchpad, so I'm just swiping to do that And then you can click on anybody and they'll kind of get their own Focus here. So this is not the Tilda Mulvaney I I see that I have her marriage information included there and I just scrolled it away by accident It is a little bit touchy Here's a couple where I don't have their marriage information entered So the little bubble sits down here without the marriage info So it's just kind of a neat way to look at your tree You can scroll around and look at the different branches Scroll in and out and then it has a handy dandy link over here where I can just go to that person's profile Three wits. Yep. I had no idea until yesterday that I had three wits in my Family better than having half-wits. Yes, I agree. I was glad we had three So that's Topola Topola Topola You can download your tree to different file formats The fancy tree doesn't really I mean you could print that out if you wanted to have something cool to look at The hourglass is a little more feature heavy You can print it and you can pull in files from elsewhere Would you excuse me while I let my dogs outside? Yes, we'll excuse you Nancy says so many apps in one hour I know There'll be 10 more soon So that was awesome Julie, thank you. Thank you. I learned stuff. I did too.
