Takes vital information from an Ancestry Family Tree profile page and makes it easy to search FamilySearch.org using those details.
This extension takes the vital information from an Ancestry Family Tree profile page and makes it easy to search FamilySearch.org using those details. (An Ancestry subscription is required to view other people’s Ancestry Family Trees.)
=== GETTING STARTED ===
Once the extension is installed, visit an Ancestry Family Tree, view an individual’s profile page, and look for the small tree icon on the right-hand side of your address bar. Clicking the icon will allow you to search the FamilySearch.org website using the individual’s information from the Ancestry Family Tree profile page.
=== FEATURES ===
Version 3.4+ works with the new Ancestry website family trees.
Version 2.0 includes the ability to search using:
• either birth or married names (for females)
• birth year and location, death year and location, or any event and location between the birth and death years (and if either year doesn’t exist, the extension searches within a 100 year period instead)
• names of spouses or parents
The following Ancestry sites are supported:
• ancestry.com
• ancestry.ca
• ancestry.co.uk
• ancestry.com.au
• ancestry.de
• ancestry.fr
• ancestry.it
• ancestry.se

=== KNOWN ISSUES ===
Unfortunately, from version 3.0 the search results can no longer be displayed in the extension popup due to FamilySearch API restrictions. Instead, just click the “Search using FamilySearch.org” button to view your results in a new browser tab.

- I can't get it to work. Its all greyed out :-(
- Mandy Snell
- Well it always worked fine now just comes up with an 403 error whatever that is! Have removed extension, very annoying as now have to manually put search info myself on Family Search website.
- Tonya Gordon
- Since Ancestry has updated this does not seem to work as well. It used to provide wonderful information. I hope you update it soon!! !
- David M Schaedler
- I have family search and ancestry searches it ok. Luckily, my accounts are free so I don't get charged. One review says you need to be signed in to FamilySearch.org to use it. I was having trouble with it at first, also.
- Thomas Wightman
- Use this all the time. You need to be logged in to Familysearch before you use it. Also, you should adjust the search dates to match what information you have. Such as entering a birth year range. This is worth using even if you just use it to copy your ancestors name from ancestry to familysearch.
