The Roots Search Chrome Extension connects popular genealogy websites by providing search links when viewing records or people. For example, when viewing a person in your tree on FamilySearch, this extension will add links to the page for searching for that same person on Ancestry, WeRelate, FamilySearch itself, and more. This removes the need to copy and paste lots of information when searching on multiple websites.
1. Go to this page on the Chrome Web Store, it is for a browser plugin known as RootsSearch. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/RootsSearch
2. Click the blue install button.
3. Once installed, log into FamilySearch Family Tree.
4. Go to an ancestor you would like to find records for.
5. Open the ancestor’s ‘person page’ where you see all the details about the person. At this point, look in the far right end of the browser address bar, you will see a blue magnifying glass, click on that.
6. A box will pop up below the magnifying glass with the info from Family Tree for that ancestor prefilled. But when searching, you can add or take out data as needed, or change any parameter.
7. You will also see on the right, buttons for a number of free and fee-based sites. Click on one to search it. You can even search FamilySearch this way to see if there are other records on the site for your ancestor.
