'''Pandora's Hope Chest '''– (for more information, see [https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Pandora%27s_Hope_Chest Pandora's Hope Chest])''''' WARNING:''' This is a tool to help users find "green arrows" indicating that an individual may or may not have incomplete ordanances and is not a genealogical research tool. ''It does not show how you are connected to those "ancestors" it finds.'' Unfortunately, due to the errors present in Family Tree data, there is a significant chance that a user is not related to those it finds unless each generation in between the user and those it finds has been verified with accurate sources. Users must be very careful when using this extension to FamilyTree and it is not recommended for novices. <br> '' | |||
The large majority of green arrows it finds represent individuals who have duplicates in FamilyTree and when these duplicates are merged the green arrow disappears. Users should always make a reasonable effort to find records and complete as much of the vital details as possible for a person. This should be done before users check for duplicates. Checking for duplicates is imperative before processing green arrows. Further, after users submit a name, they must again resolve any remaining duplicates that are shown on the submission page. <br> | The large majority of green arrows it finds represent individuals who have duplicates in FamilyTree and when these duplicates are merged the green arrow disappears.
