This picture formed in my mind, but Craig Noorlander, who taught this class, quickly dispelled this image and said Puzzilla was a web tool that works with ''FamilySearch''’s Family Tree. It condenses your family tree to little blocks on a tree which helps you visualize more easily what you have and what you need to work on. | [[File:03F8D894-3F2A-4E3B-97B1-3F3E510BBA81.jpeg|300px|left]]What the heck is ''Puzzilla''?

To use any of the ''FamilySearch'' premium programs, you will need a compatible internet browser, either ''Chrome'' or ''Firefox''. You can also use ''Edge'' if you configure it to use extensions from other browsers. (Do this by clicking on the extensions icon at the top of the browser--it looks like a puzzle piece--then click on Manage Extensions, and in the left panel, click the button labeled "Allow extensions from other stores." Once you have a compatible browser open, you are ready to install the extension that will allow you to access the premium content. The name of the extension is the '''FamilySearch Center Premium Content''' extension. Go to [https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/family-history-center-premium-content-browser-extension '''this''' '''webpage'''] for instructions. You can do this before you arrive at the ''FamilySearch'' center. | |||
