How does the new Ancestors and Decendants icons work?

Question

Is this new? I've never seen them until today and if they're intended to open a tree this feature does not work on a smart phone.

Answer 1

Hi Cynthia. This a very new feature, see here:

You're welcome Cynthia.

Answer 2

If you look further down the G2G list you will see the explanation and discussion thread started by Chris Whitten a couple of hours ago.

Lynda there's no thread showing up on my screen or when I wrote the question. Hence it's likely this is example of our limitations on a smart phone with wiki. I hardly know anyone who uses a full fledged computer or even laptop anymore so hopefully one day Wikitree will be able to focus on this. I worry that if we don't pseudo keep up the younger generation won't catch the genealogy bug.

 

I'm gonna scroll through today's new g2g posts and try to find Chris's info. Thank you.

Gillian my laptops broken and thus one uses what they have. I agree a desktop or laptop is far superior.
