THERE'S A NEW MESSAGE FOR YOU

The FamilySearch Blog caught our eye. That little red dot in the upper right hand corner of  you family tree is for messages. It's been expanded. The blog indicates that there are now sub-catagories -- CONVERSATIONS, DISCOVERIES, GENERAL, INDEXING & TEMPLE .

Conversations

While this feature has always been available
in the mailbox, it has been greatly improved. Here you can converse with other FamilySearch
users about records, dates, times, places, and whatever you would like. Many
people use this feature to work with their family on finding and adding sources
in the shared Family Tree.

Discoveries

This tab shows you messages from FamilySearch
about record hints and other findings that can enhance your work on Family
Tree. These messages are specific to you and can help you discover many new
things about your family!

General

These are messages about feature updates on the
FamilySearch site and other general subjects. If you are curious about what new
records have been added to FamilySearch or want to keep updated about what is
happening on the site, you will find those messages here.

Temple

Here you will see thank you messages, messages about reserved names being released, and other information relating to connecting your ancestors on both sides of the veil.
