New Ancestry.com Interface -- First Look

The new Ancestry.com Beta was just sent to me. Here is a screenshot of the Family Tree page:


There is a lot more color and a little bit of redesign of the entries on the tree. The green leaf icons are quite a bit larger. Most of the other menu options in the Beta version don't seem operational as yet. So there is not a lot to say.

Here is a screenshot of the Portrait or Family View:


More color and larger icons. There is a reduced size navigation field down in the left-hand corner of the screen that looks like this:


As I get a more detailed look, I will report back on my impressions.

  1. I like the portrait view in the Beta version compared to what it is now. The way they have it now is like a picture box with a border around it, like when you use Visual Basic for a picture holder. I wish there was more for you to test. Thank you for sharing the new proposed look.

  2. I don't like it. I like the FS Family Tree new interface better with portraits, hints, data issues, research indicators, and temple icons. Pretty cool that they can get that all into one couple box.
