Lack of user current context
For us with family large trees using family search is painful for the following reasons.
- While using the pedigree tree if the browser or app decides to do a refresh this window goes right back to the home person!!!!! With the lack of support of trees with more than 15 generations this means a long time finding back to where you was working!
- Please others do not reply setting home person every time this is not viable as anyone with a big tree will tell you
- Please others do not reply use recent people , as browsing does not add to recent people
Simply keeping a context per user for the pedigree window on display e.g. keep left most person displayed on pedigree window as context and then on refresh or on startup go back to last viewed people considerably would help considerably.
The second useful thing would be extend the 15 generations limit of show relationships and say to 1 to 2 levels of cousins below direct relations. Before any replies why they think this is not possible, I have written code in Kotlin that does this on my familytree gedcom file with over 50k relatives and 30 generations and its takes a few seconds to process. Yes i know familysearch has 1.6 billion records that need not relevant with the right design.
Incidentally if there is a way of downloading my entire tree I love to have a local copy. Thats developers for your excellent work and I know what is like when everyone wants different things at the same time. Seriously i believe the without changes I have proposed users with large trees will just give up in frustration
