Ancestry App Version 6.6.1 — #Genealogy #Technology

by C. Michael Eliasz-Solomon

Ancestry App 6.6.1

Version 6.6.1 of Ancestry.com ‘s App changes the UX (User Experience) in two noticeable ways:

  1. Tapping on an individual takes you immediately to the profile (not just select and alter tree branch paths)
  2. Tapping & Holding (see top image) highlights the ancestor and allows you three options:

Edit Person, View Tree (previous function of the initial tap of prior app versions), Add Relative.
