About the Tracker

One of the keys to success with family history skills is the ability to monitor and track what you’ve learned to do. In The Family History Guide the Tracker—Online or Word—provides you that capability. You can use the Exercises in Projects to help you rate your skill and learning levels. Then you can transfer that information, along with notes and tips, into the Tracker. For more information on using the Tracker, either Online or Word, see Features Help in the Intro menu.

What’s New

Here are the latest changes and enhancements to the Tracker:

Word Tracker

We’ve added Goal links to Tracker sheets for Countries, states, provinces and counties. These links open the corresponding Goals in The Family History Guide website for convenience. For example:

Online Tracker

There are now Online Tracker entries for the following pages: U.S. states (50), England counties (36), Canada provinces (10), and Australian states (6). That’s 102 new entries, bringing the total number of Online Tracker entries to 192. A partial list of the new entries is shown below.

Research Pages

At the top of state, county, and province pages, we’ve added QUIKLinks to the Online and Word Tracker for easier access. For example:

Study Center

We’ve added Tracker buttons for most of the Choices in the Study Center, whether for FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or Findmypast. These open the Online Tracker entries for each Project.

Have a blast with the Trackers, Online or Word, and happy Project tracking in 2019!
