The FamilySearch Partner Tracks on The Family History Guide

The Family History Guide has undergone a major expansion. Learning Tracks for each of the three major FamilySearch.org Partner Programs have been added to the website. These Partner Tracks include Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, and Findmypast.com. When you choose your Learning Track, the instructions in The Family History Guide are then adapted to the chosen website.

The idea here is that by choosing a different track, the Projects change and all the Goals and Choices reflect the chosen website. For example, by choosing the Ancestry.com track, I get the following screen:


The red arrows indicate the logos that show you that you are working in the Ancestry.com track of the website. If I change to a different track, such as MyHeritage.com, then the instructions change to reflect that website.


In case you get lost, just click on the link to the Home page and you will get back to the beginning.

This new set of instructions, added to an already valuable website, makes The Family History Guide the "go-to" place to learn about all four of these valuable genealogy websites. The website is in "Beta" release until November 15, 2017, so you can expect the changes and the content to expand.
