There is a new entry in the world of ever popular laminated quick guides for genealogists. This latest entry is for anyone who has, or has been considering, signing up with MyHeritage.com. The guide: MyHeritage.com Cheat Sheet by Sunny Jane Morton.
The guide gets going with an easy to follow check list for getting started on MyHeritage.com. The first page also offers a quick description of the six main tabs or sections on the site (Home, Family Tree, Discoveries, Photos, Apps, and Research). The page ends with six easy steps to customizing your welcome page.
Page 2 shows a copy of the family tree page with bubble descriptions for each primary element on the page. There is also a descriptions about what each individual’s box contains and what the various symbols mean, as well as details about personal profiles.
The third page covers the process of researching records and trees, along with automated search tools and the process for syncing your family tree with your home computer.
The guide ends with two charts on the final page. The first chart will offers a list of navigational options and how to get there on the MyHeritage site. For example, where to upload a tree, or where to create and print custom family tree charts as PDFs. The second chart clearly explains membership options on the site. This will allow new users to easily choose what level of subscription may interest them, and allow existing users to see the advantage of upgrading their subscription.
Like virtually all quick guides, this guide is a four-page, full-color laminated brochure, meant to be easily stored, easily referenced while working, and sized to take with you on the road.
