Have you ever wondered what life was like when your ancestor was alive? If so, you can use the Time Capsule widget to find out.

This widget is located on the “Family Dashboard” tab. If you have never used Family Dashboard before, the Time Capsule is the second widget from the top in the middle column. The only field that is required is the date. If you want to be more specific, you can enter in a name and event. For example, you could use your great grandmother’s name and her birth date to find out what life was like when she was born. Some of the facts it will give you are important events, famous people born on that day, the cost of living, best songs, movies, actors, information about the U.S. Presidency, and scientific news.

As always, we are happy to help if you have additional questions, so don’t hesitate to call 1-877-643-8733 or email if you need assistance.
