I do not have as much time as I did. So, when on-line I want to save time. Often, I get carried away pushing my line to find the next generation and quite frequently now, I discover someone really, really interesting. Then I can’t remember how I got there. I know there is a path generated by the clicks shown above the tree, but I seem to lose it. All I want is a path back to where I came from. I see you have different shapes and colors for boys and girls.

>:> Could you please create a diamond shape in either pink or blue to represent a relative which links to the line being studied.<:<

Then you can go forward or backward very easily. I think you can create that if you can create the square or circle.

I wonder if you can create a little software program which with one click changes either shape to the diamond to encourage subscribers to mark their path as they look over their tree again. THAT would be such a time-saver, a big help and to your benefit, encourage more people to stay subscribed long enough to tag the line. In my case, I reached about all I could do and let my subscription lapse. i'd be willing to work on my tree again if I could trace my direct ancestor instead of clicking on his siblings and wasting time. Mine you I like having siblings available, but I want my path shown more clearly.

What do you think? Diamonds link, blue or pink.

I do like hints. It has led me to many documents that I may have eventually found. Suggestion: Allow exclusion of some hints. I don’t trust others research without documentation, so let me exclude hints without sources other than gedcom files or links to other family trees.

That said, today’s ancestry.com is much better than the one I initially subscribed to years ago.

Approx 600 full time employees last I heard- but that is worldwide. Not sure just how many at HQ.

As to physical locations…

Depends on if you mean production locations or include sales, marketing locations as well.
