Extension summary

This is a really simple genealogy research tool that is used for those who use a feature in puzzilla.org. Puzzilla has a feature that populates your browser with ten tabs which contains ten pages from familysearch.org. These pages allow you to attach historical records to your family tree.

Some of the tabs in your browser may contain missing family members that you have not discovered yet. This tool will find those tabs and change the tab title to, "*Possible Additions," so that you can jump to those tabs without having to view the other tabs.

Note: This tool does not look at or change any of your data. It only looks to see if there is an "Add" button with the option to create a new individual record. If so it notifies you by changing the text in your browser tab. This extension is not associated with Puzzilla.org, Familysearch.org or any other company.

This tool is free, though you may wish to donate to the cause of more genealogy collaboration tools by going to this site: paypal.me/larrymaddocks/3
