What problem does Add All People Link to Matches Trees solve?
Add All People Link to Matches Trees adds a List of all people link to the Trees tab of an AncestryDNA match. It opens the match’s linked tree as a list of everyone in it. Ancestry’s own link opens the tree chart, so reaching the list takes several more clicks.
How does Add All People Link to Matches Trees work?
On the Trees tab of a match’s page, the link sits in bold after the number of people in the match’s linked tree. Click it and the tree opens in a new tab on its List of all people page, so the match’s page stays open where you left it.
The List of all people page shows everyone in the tree on one list. You can search it by name and scan surnames and places much faster than in the chart. That is usually the quickest way to spot a family you recognize in a match’s tree.
How do I use Add All People Link to Matches Trees?
The link appears only for matches with a linked tree, because Ancestry shows no tree section on the Trees tab for the others.
