Technical Background
• Make sure you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox before you attempt to download the toolbar.
• Here are two independant reviews of the genealogy toolbar from the Easter Family Genealogy Blog and from Anglo-Celtic Connections.
• Occasionally, we make improvements and updates to the genealogy toolbar. If you already have the genealogy toolbar installed, you don't need to reinstall the toolbar or do anything. You will automatically receive the updates.
• The toolbar was designed in concert with Alexa (the internet traffic people). Alexa uses the data gathered from the toolbar to help determine the popularity of various websites. You can easily opt out of this feature if you do not want your vote to count. Simply click on the Options button (the button on the far right of the toolbar – it looks like a gear) and then uncheck the box labelled “Send button usage statistic to Alexa”.
