New icons on Family Tree pages - ancestry
 
I think these are new, anyway - next to the name of a person in the "profile view" (rather than pedigree view) in my family tree on Ancestry, I see two icons. They have a line round the outside to show how much of each is complete.

When you click on one a sort of pop-up appears at the side of the screen, and it says "Test" so I guess they are testing it at the moment.

The top one is "Facts" - there are 4 essential facts about each person: birth, death, marriage, and burial, and it shows which of these I have "completed" and which are "to do". Though there is a tick box available for "did not marry". Not for "was not buried" though. Strangely, it is saying that "marriage" is not complete for the person I am looking at and I need to find the marriage place, even though it is filled in. I will mention this in their feedback survey!

The lower one is "Family" - father, mother, siblings, spouse, children, though I don't know how it will ever know if some of those are really "completed" since there could be another sibling, spouse or child still to find.

But anyway, it could be useful to suggest which people in your tree you need to find out more about. Off to fill in the feedback survey now...

I don't have this either.

I might start sulking. I wonder if it is because my sub is due to expire soon?

No, it seems to have disappeared, Toni. I guess they just tested it for a short time and withdrew it to tinker with it.

I think they value your feedback in particular, Kite.

Lol.

They have reappeared for me now, or something similar anyway. I know some other people have been seeing them recently. But they don't actually seem to work at the moment.

And they have disappeared again. I wonder whether they are planning to release them next week when Rootstech is on.

Kit 23-02-20 23:35

They were back today but not as you described.

I had a hint show up, in dotted lines, on the person's timeline suggesting a "Possible Marriage Record". On the top left of the dotted line box it said Beta and there was a blue circle with an i in it next to words saying Have feedback?

I screenshot it but can't remember how to post something from my computer.
