I often take screenshots of family trees on Ancestry to share with my family and clients. When I need to print these family trees, the dark background and low-contrast lines of the default Ancestry tree make this difficult. To address this, I developed a custom tool that modifies how Ancestry trees are displayed, making them more printer-friendly for sharing offline.

When you activate Ancestry Printable Tree, any family tree you are viewing will have a cleaner look for user-friendly screenshotting. Simply deactivate the style when done screenshotting your tree to view the user-interface again.

Many times I share screenshots of Ancestry trees with family and clients. The Ancestry interface is great for doing work, but when taking a screenshot I don’t always want the user-interface items to appear. I created a custom tool that eliminates many unnecessary buttons on the Ancestry tree interface so you can take cleaner screenshots.

When you activate Ancestry Tree Cleaner, any family tree you are viewing will have a cleaner look for user-friendly screenshotting. Simply de-activate the style when done screenshotting your tree to view the user-interface again.

I am often taking screenshots of Ancestry’s ThruLines page to share with family and clients. While I like the layout, some of the elements on the page are distracting and not needed in my images. I developed a custom tool which makes the layout a little cleaner and more appropriate for sharing with others.

When you activate Ancestry ThruLines Cleaner, any ThruLines you are viewing will have cleaner lines and larger user photos, so we can see our matches better. Simply de-activate the style when done screenshotting your ThruLines to return to the normal clickable web interface.
