Genealogy Search Helper

Genealogy Search Helper is designed to help with ancestry research. I am new to the world of Genealogy but recently have been creating my family tree and quickly started looking for a tool that would help me search multiple websites without having to stumble through all my bookmarks just to re-enter the same data over and over. This extension allows you to enter First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, *Birth Year, *Death Year and then launch several websites at the same time with this information. Each search is opened in its own tab, so you can review results and modify the search on the launched tab without having to go back to the extension. Whether you are looking for Birth, Death, Military, Census, or any other Records this can help you find them. This extension was built to use minimal permission (no having to give all your information away just to use it).

Included are 3 searches prebuilt and ready to use: 1. Google 2. Ancestry.com free databases 3. FamilySearch.org *Account login needed

To Use: Enter Person’s Info in appropriate boxes. Select the links you would like to launch from the list. Then click ‘Launch’. The extension will replace keywords in the URLs with your inputted information and then open the link in a new tab.

To Add URL: Find a site that you would like to add. Do a search for a person to generate a URL with the names in the URL. Copy the URL and Paste it in the ‘Link’ box of the Options Page. Replace the searched person’s information with the keywords. (i.e., First Name would get replaced with @FirstName). Then click Add. Now your new site is available for use.

To Remove URL: Go to the Options Page and click the ‘X’ to the Right of the URL. Then confirm you want to delete, and it will be removed.
