New Options Added To The Geneanet Automatic Matches

Posted by Jean-Yves on Feb 20, 2017
 

Some new options have been added to the Geneanet Automatic Matches.

Until now, you could automatically find new ancestors for an individual, as well as its date and/or place of birth and/or death.

You can now automatically find new children for a couple of persons.

When some Automatic Matches are found for a person in your family tree, a red icon is displayed on the “Matches” menu item as shown below.

EN-automatic-searches-01

Click the “Matches” menu item.

This will open a new page with the Automatic Matches list.

In the example below, 2 family trees have been automatically found with 7 known children for the same parents.

Just click the “View” button to see results and to get new information about your ancestors.

I have over 400 matches to my tree and you want me to add them manually? I think Geneanet can do better than that. Is there something in the works to add the feature.

Answer from Geneanet: Keep in mind that these matches are suggestions, not facts… you will want to evaluate each match to avoid adding random people to your tree. If we could be 100% certain that every match is accurate, this would not be an issue, but alas! not everyone with the same name, in the same county, is the same person. And we have seen cases where several trees have the same incorrect information, no doubt copied from the first person who made the error.

Stop by our forums to suggest features, we are always listening!

I have just started using Geneanet and have switched on automatic matches. Is this the reason that some individuals now have started appearing with spouses, etc, that I didn’t enter myself?
