Unable to get app working

Works very well

I just wish it would extract from Americanancestors.org

Excellent App/Extension

This is one of those things that have left me scratching my head, and thinking how on earth have I managed my research without it before! This is the equivalent of a ‘Swiss Army Knife’, it’s just incredible, my workflow is now so much faster, and accurate. Just a pity it wasn’t developed 20yrs ago :)

Excellent time saver

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this app but I am so glad I purchased it. With it I am able to easily add inline citations, narratives, and household tables for census documents. These tables give a great visual and comparison. I also really love the search options. I was able to find records I was missing.👍👍
