Introduction
In larger and larger databases, it can be frustrating to hone in attention on the people we need to research.
This mod helps by providing searching aids to get right to the right people.
It adds the following functionality:
To the Search Page
- Search end of lines - finds individuals with no parents. Use with branches or Sosa to find top of the line ancestors
- No sources - returns records that do not have citations. Useful for improving your data
- Sosa search - Search for folks with sosa numbers. Shows up if you have Sosa installed
- New Search criteria - Adds CAPS (for capital letters) and does not contain to the search criteria
To the Search Results Only for logged in users:
- Sources, notes and media numbers are added to the table
- A filter bar for branches, sosa (shows if mod installed), sources, notes and media.
It can be used as a stand alone or in conjunction with the Bold Ancestor Child Links mod or Sosa mod to identify direct and end-of-line ancestors where many of us want to focus our attention.
