- Use color to separate lines – make my Duers’ blue and my Leiningers’ green and my Koss’ purple, for example. \u00a0Then, when I was looking at a descendant I could easily identify their lineage. \u00a0I know there is supposed to be the actual connection listed but mine comes and goes:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSee, it’s missing. It should say relationship unknown but it says nothing. Kate’s line does not link to my known lines as the connection was somewhere across the pond and hasn’t been rediscovered yet. \u00a0 I don’t know why sometimes it displays and sometimes it doesn’t. \u00a0I would add that to my wish list, too – get it to work consistently!<\/p>\n

- A way to copy and paste a line to make a new tree while leaving the line in the original tree. Several years ago I had several trees and it made me crazy! \u00a0People would contact me about dear so and so and I had to hunt through all the trees to figure out who they were referring to because no one ever said, “I found so and so in your Main tree.” \u00a0When I asked there where they found it they would say, “online.” \u00a0So, I entered everything together. Actually, I merged it when the old Family Tree Maker worked. \u00a0It wasn’t perfect but it was fairly quick. \u00a0Now I’d like to do the opposite, take my Landfairs, for example, and just work on that line for a bit and then merge it back to the original tree. \u00a0This would also be nice if a distant relative wanted just their line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
All of this got me thinking of photos. \u00a0There are some people I would just love to have a picture of and after searching high and low still can’t find one. \u00a0There needs to be a vehicle to find those wanted photos. \u00a0I know about DeadFred. \u00a0That’s nice but I’m thinking more of a posting of a request for the photo and not that I found this picture. \u00a0In DeadFred, if I enter Harbaugh I get 3 photos of Alburmah Harbaugh which is interesting because I’ve updated all the Harbaughs known to be in the US since Cooprider and Cooprider did it in 1947 and he wasn’t one of them any Harbaugh source has found This validates what I already knew – my tree is incomplete. \u00a0Since genealogy is always a work in progress that doesn’t phase me. \u00a0But back to pictures…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nI’d like a place where you can post that you want a photo, not just that you found a photo, which is what most of Cyndi’s list links are. \u00a0It would be even nicer if it had an ap so that lost photos, say from an antique shop, can be plugged in to see if someone is seeking that picture. \u00a0Granted, most of those photos have no identifying info. \u00a0My own family was really awful about documenting their photo’s, too. But if there was identifying info, the requester could be emailed or texted of where the photo is and can arrange to make the connection. \u00a0That’s a win-win for everyone – the store owner makes a sale, the finder feels awesome about doing a good deed and the requester gets the photo he\/she wants! \u00a0Any ideas or suggestions about this please let me know – might be an area I work on once I finally submit that BCG portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
