FamilySearch Person Page Redesign

Some things have been around for quite a while, such as the Person page in FamilySearch. So when that page gets an update, it’s worth noticing. Below are a few of the key items in the update.

  • New “About” Tab includes a life summary, time line, family overview, etc.
  • Source List displays all the attached sources for the ancestor
  • Other Relationships are tracked, such as employment, household, neighbor, relative, etc.

The new version will be phased in over time. To access the new version, open a regular Person page in FamilySearch and click the “Go to New Person Page” in the upper right.  To learn more about the update, check out this FamilySearch blog article:

In the article, you can also volunteer to test the new page design and give your feedback.

 

Project 1 Updates in The Family History Guide

Look for updates to be made in FamilySearch Project 1: Family Tree of The Family History Guide, to accommodate the new changes to the Person page, when the new Person page design is finalized.
