If you have #SalvationArmy members among your ancestors, be sure to check out War Cry from 1879-1985 which has been scanned by the British Newspaper Archive and released today. It contains a lot of local news. https://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2026/04/07/war-cry-salvation-army/ #genealogy #genchat #histodons #nonconformist @histodons @genealogy

Okay, I double-checked and apparently "Descendants with Hints" is available in the app only.
From the FamilySearch app NOT the desktop!
* Open your Family Tree >
* Select an ancestor who's at least a Great-Grand-Parent >
* Open Person / Profile >
* Top right corner (3 dots / hamburger) has "Descendants with Hints" as an optionOn the desktop, your Home Page is the default landing. In the center options about the 3rd is Record Hints
-
When you're logged in and click on the left-hand corner menu, it should offer Tasks; also if you start from your home page.
"Descendants with Hints" is from a personal profile (which I do thru the Tree to do one generation at a time), then the Right-hand corner menu selections.
-
Nope, FamilySearch. I was poking around one day when I got frustrated with the Tasks that hadn't shown any new records to consider for an ancestor.
It takes individual documents, and pulls potential profile matches for a human (TM) to evaluate.
I've found a lot of bare-bones profiles, and hints for 1950/1940 censuses as well as the 20th century military draft registrations that went live "recently"
-
With Real Life intruding, it tends to be quick 'n' dirty.
FamilySearch has some useful options for me; the ever-popular Tasks on the drop-down menu.
If you've run thru all the easy/simple ones from there, try the "Descendents With Hints" option - from the Tree, select an ancestor (at least a great-grandparent if not further back), open their profile, and look at the menu selections from the top right (3 dots / hamburger). It will pull from far reaches of these people.I also receive the 5-a-day emails, and have saved the most recent email they send to prompt checking of hints.

@[email protected] @[email protected] #genchat #wills #probate One thing we could be better at doing is sharing the names of all the people we find in a will. Beneficiaries are not generally indexed, but imagine if you could search a probate archive like that. Some societies have done some excellent work on this e.g. Oxfordshire FHS, see an example here: http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/

@projectkinorg probably most Brits forget they have American cousins. In reality, we probably have a lot of them. Food traditions are interesting as they carry a lot of 'cultural memory', particularly down our female, Mitochondrial DNA lines. #mtDNA #genealogy #DNA @geneadons @genealogy #genchat #thanksgiving

@KottalGenealogy @bethroots @[email protected] @[email protected] I have potentially found a neat solution to make mind maps for Research Plans workable. If you use 'View Your Mind" - #VYM https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/ after you have created your map you can easily export it to a spreadsheet, csv or a LibreOffice presentation and quite a few other formats. #MindMap #ResearchPlan #Genchat
