Makes increasing the FamilyTree size infinitely easier and faster, would highly recommend giving it a try!

Really great extension that simplifies so many of the steps for keeping track of research. Particularly for me, as someone who is not only disorganized but also distracted by every rabbit hole I find, this helps to keep me on task and most especially know where to start each time I begin researching. A huge game-changer in the family history tech space.

The chief benefit of this extension in my opinion is that it points out which ancestors are well sourced and which have never had any updating since the old Book of Remembrance pages. Let's face it. Too many of us think our family history is "done," when the tree hasn't been pruned or fertilized for years. This is a great time for this utility to be launched, since more of us are housebound and need some constructive things to do with our browsers. It can also serve as a way to create a to-do list and "research log" that might be useful to whoever inherits our computer if we pass on sooner than we planned.
