Take a Look at FamilySearch Labs

Note: This article appeared previously in the Genealogy’s Star blog site.

 

https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/The current experiments in FamilySearch Labs include:

  • Merge Analysis View: Understand the nuances of a merge from a tree person’s change log.
  • Expand your search with Full Text: Unlock hidden discoveries in historical records that have never been searchable until now.
  • Family Group Trees: Gather your family into a group, and see the same living tree. Enrich your history with photos, stories, and sources.
  • Find Help with AI Search: Explore how an AI-assisted search might provide better guidance and help for doing research and using the FamilySearch website.
  • Profile Quality Score: Display a quality estimate for a profile in the Family Tree. Only available on certain profiles.
Each of these options has detailed instructions. I have written about some of these experiments in the past but they continue to evolve.
