Doesnt work on Chrome. Wont even open and it came pre-installed on my new Chromebook so should work. NOPE.

Find A record is wonderful. It works with FamilySearch information and helps get all the little errors corrected, all the repeated information that's not needed cleared out, Tasks that are overlooked are discovered through Find A Record, I sure wish it was still connected with FamilySearch. I used it daily.
