Nice little App if you use Chrome and Ancestry
« on: Tuesday 22 February 11 07:48 GMT (UK) »
One of the reasons I like using Legacy is that it will search FamilySearch for you very easily. I have just found a similar looking thing for the Chrome Web browser and Ancestry.
Here is how you can get it.
First make sure you have the latest Chrome Browser.
http://www.google.com/chrome/

Then go to the Chrome Web Store and install 'Ancestry Family Search Extensions'
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iahjgikepkkgkinlhipagkkdgfbobphh

Now next time you go to your family tree on ancestry and the profile of one of your ancestors a little tree should appear in the URL bar, click on that and it will search Family Search for the person whose profile is displayed.

Just found a new one.

This one slideshows through a census on ancestry meaning you don't have to click to turn a page!
