A New Way to Get Started
One of the key pages in The Family History Guide is getting a makeover—it’s the Get Started page in the Intro menu. The previous look featured tiles and options to click for items of interest; the new look is question-driven. In fact, the page begins with a question: “How Do I …?”
From there, you’ll see a list of starred question categories. Click any of them to open the category, and a list of question links appears. You can click any question to go to the place in The Family History Guide that gives you help and guidance on the question.
