I dont want to see all this, I just want to do my geneology.

Step 1: click the FamilySearch logo at the top left of this page.

Step 2: on the new tab that opens, click the Family Tree menu item and choose Tree.

Or you could set a bookmark/start page in your browser for the pedigree chart.

I'll give an example when off work - or maybe someone else can explain.

Disclaimer: Use these instructions if you want to know how to set a bookmark or change your start pages in your browser (hopefully the instructions have your browser listed - if not the general idea applies).

The pedigree chart should appear:

1) when you are logged into FamilySearch (note: if you use the option to stay logged in for 2 weeks you should not receive the prompt to login as often)

and

2) you click the following link for the pedigree page:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/

You can set this page/link as one of your browser start page(s) - OR you can also bookmark it and display it to your bookmarks bar (if you have that displayed it might provide easier access).

Set a Bookmark

Rather than write up instructions for bookmarking the pedigree page I will just refer to another website that explains the generic process for several browsers (you would want to use the URL for pedigree when instructed to enter page/URL):

Set a Start Page

If you want FamilySearch Family Tree/Pedigree to appear when you launch your browser - here is a webpage that explains how to set those in several browsers (you would want to use the URL for pedigree when instructed to enter page/URL):

@Dawn Nessl I hope this helps provide a work-around for getting directly to the pedigree chart.
