I just learned how to use the get involved app and was going to suggest you do a video on how to use it so glad you did that. It is so easy and people can do a little indexing here and there whenever they have time - like instead of scrolling through social media! lol! I am on a family search service mission and have other assignments so don't do much indexing but I will do this sometimes. Will this get applied to your indexing group if and when I do?

Unfortunately the get involved app doesn’t calculate the name reviews we do towards our group report or record. I tested it and it didn’t show any of the name reviews I had done. I will email familysearch and see if that’s something they would update for us. I do have a video about indexing that goes in more detail about how to do the name review also 😊

Do you have a video where you talk about matching and merging FTM with FamilySearch?

[@JoyousGenealogist]

Hi Bernard, here's the video on how I upload familysearch into family ttree maker. Let me know if this was helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3i6kpydor5rp9Usi=t3m7XAQbbIii4ZVe

I’ve recently been unable to log into family search within the family tree maker app. FTM informs me they know of the problem. Is everyone having this problem?

[@JoyousGenealogist]

I haven’t tried to login from FTM to family search recently so I’m not sure. That’s something I’ll look into this week though and respond back to you if I learn of the issue.

What do the colored dots indicate?

[@JoyousGenealogist]

If your referring to the colorization on family tree maker that is how I’ve categorized my family lines to see family relationships. I can do a video about it in the future if you would like? There’s a lot of different ways you can utilize this feature to help you with your research.

[@MariaGuzman-it2hh]

A video would be great. In the meantime, would you tell me where to find colorization, please.

[@JoyousGenealogist]

@@MariaGuzman-it2hh You need to be in the tree view not the person view. On the upper right hand side of the screen underneath familysearch and ancestry you’ll see a colored circle that says color coding. Click on that and you’ll see the settings for it. Let me know if that helps 😊

[@MariaGuzman-it2hh]

@@JoyousGenealogist Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

[@JoyousGenealogist]

Did you have any trouble with the color coding?
