How do I see which ancestors have been added to my family tree?
There are three ways to know if your family tree is growing on OneGreatFamily.com. Seeing which ancestors are new, however, requires a bit of effort. Future enhancements promise to make this process easier.
You can rely on the following indicators to see if there has been activity on your family tree that may have resulted in the addition of new ancestors:
- GenMail - Pay attention to your GenMail notifications. We send GenMail email
messages each week to let people know if their family trees are
growing. Any merge that takes place within your family tree has
the potential of adding new ancestors to your family tree.
- Starfield Merge Indicators (!) - The exclamation point is the icon we use on the Starfield to indicate individuals who have been merged with other branches on OneGreatFamily. After launching Genealogy BrowserTM, you can click on the Merge Icon (!) to show or hide these indicators.
- New Stars Message - When new individuals are added to your family tree, you may receive a message from within Genealogy Browser that says how many new "stars" have been added to your Starfield. These stars represent new family members who are now in your family tree!
You can use the Details Report, which is available through your GenMail message, to look at your ancestors who have been merged or who have new "hints." (A hint means there is a possibility that your ancestor is the same person as someone else in OneGreatFamily, but OneGreatFamily wasn't 100% sure.)
Clicking on any name in the Details Report allow you to see if there are also new ancestors as a result of the merge that has taken place. You can collaborate with others who have common ancestors to learn more about the new individuals who have been added to your family tree. For more on collaboration, please refer to the newsletter from the week of April 24.

The following success story shows how the efforts of one individual at OneGreatFamily can benefit others. The following is a simple message of gratitude we received this week:
"Mary was so helpful. With her help and the help of others I found my great grandfather's village in Switzerland. I received help from some helpers I don't even know, but I truly thank Mary Jones from Ohio and Walter from Switzerland.
They do know what they are doing, or they know things I don't. Thanks again. This OneGreatFamily is one great site."
