Discovering Free Family History Software - (Genealogy Software Showcase Ep7)

[@songs8619]

The library versions of Ancestry and My Heritage give full access to the sites. The libraries do not get their accounts for free; they actually pay for them (the subscription price for the library editions are considerably higher than the personal accounts. So we really should make great use of our libraries' resources - make their subscription a worthwhile expense for them!)

Well done!

I’ve got Scottish roots.I Find if you hit a brick wall, and can’t get any further with an individual name try using the maternal family name as a given name for one or more of the Children. A common habitat in Scotland.

What is the best free website to build a family tree from scratch (not uploading a GEDCOM) where the branches do not minimumize/collapse, allowing you to view the entire tree as you scroll?

[@StoltHD]

State, Universities, Libraries and Humanity Research Labs are all great resources for information.

[@jray9242]

I hear it perfectly out of the left channel only.

[@pinwheelgrl9304]

Thanks for the input, this is the first channel I've had trouble with in a few years. At least someone can hear, looks like good info.

Generally, tools are country agnostic, although there tends to be a US/UK bias. The real question is what resources are available in that country, and what kind of records were kept.

I hate Legacy. I bought the full version a few years ago, imported my family tree and it messed up a lot of my tree. It put people in weird places. One example was a relative belonging to my paternal branch from early 1800's ended up on my maternal branch of the tree in the early 1900's. I don't know how often that happened because my tree is quite large. I just now went in to see how many people and the program just closed itself. Grrr, I hate this software.

Why is there no sound on any of your vids upon replay? I hear audio on all other vids on YT, just not yours. Vid 1&2 had music, no voice. Vids 3+ have nothing.

[@GenealogySoftwareShowcase]

I am not having issues. It's possible I only recorded on on channel instead of two. Check your right and left speaker balance.

[@pinwheelgrl9304]

@@GenealogySoftwareShowcase It is balanced. Maybe it's a YT record/play glitch if you are using just one channel. I even tried using another browser, no dice. Delete browser cache, refresh, sign out and see if you can still hear it as an anon person going to this channel, just curious.

@@GenealogySoftwareShowcase Yes, that is what is happening to your end because I got a diff set of earbuds and I only get reception on the left regardless of computer settings. My other set the left had died so I couldn't hear you at all, confirmed by a 2nd set w/same issue. Hearing in one ear is a bit much, hope you get fixed as your experience wisdom is worth listening to.

@@pinwheelgrl9304 oh thank goodness you mentioned you had problems I spent 10minutes checking settings thinking my very costly headphones were stuffed. I am somewhat deaf too so it had me concerned that overnight right ear had gone totally, lol. So relieved to realize it was just a tech glitch.
