I need to watch this again. I only have an iPad so this is super helpful. Thank you 🌻

I know I go through things quickly - you may want the 27 page handout - it has lots of images and covers ALOT that isn't in the video. You can get it here: ancestryaimee.etsy.com or sign up on YT for Aimee's Crew.
I’ve been using my iPad for Ancestry for a few years now. Love your videos, always learning even at 92! 😊

@VictoriaReginaAnn you just made my day!!! Hope this helps you as you use Ancestry on your iPad. :)
I sometimes use the ancestry app, but most of the time I open my browser (currently using Safari) and go to ancestry that way, combining the usefulness of the “computer version” with the convenience of a tablet. I am doing this primarily because my computer died about a year ago and I cannot afford to get it fixed or replaced, but the tablet is the next best thing. Also, between my iPhone and my iPad, taking photos, scanning photos, or uploading audio/video clips is simplified! Thanks for this video! I believe it will open up new paths for people!

Thanks so much for this info!
I prefer my desktop computer because I often have multiple screens open. But I do use my iPad when the desktop is in use by my husband. The best use I have found for using Ancestry on the iPad is that the iPad is portable! When I’m visiting a family member or am on a genealogy road trip, I always have my ancestors with me and can share pictures and stories or do research. Thanks for all your great teaching, Amy!

Completely agree with you about the benefits! Thanks Susan.
Thank you for this! I have used my Ipad,but I'd rather work on my laptop. I was using my Ipad the other day and I wondered where the Thrulines were at. Now I know. Soimetimes I use my Ipad as another screen instead of having multiple tabs open.

I do that too. Use it as another screen. If you have a Mac you can even connect them. Thanks for sharing that!

I do like using my iPad. I sometimes have to use my Microsoft edge to look deeper, but I have a standup TV tray I work on my tree. My computer is old and it is harder to start up. Love the video to the iPad version you did. Your videos are very helpful. 😊

How did you get started in genealogy? I watch videos on ancestory academy and they help. You and Connie Knox are my favorite genealogists to watch. I really learn a lot and take notes. I had a tree for my adopted. Going by what she said she had told me about people who were related to her but not the person she thought they were to her. I got most of it straightened out but it was a mess.

@user-ic4xm1di6j thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. I was the only granddaughter on both sides of my family and both grandma‘s were into genealogy. I loved to hear the stories. I got more serious about it when I was a late teen. Some years when my kids were home, I didn’t do much, but I have been working on my family history for a long time.

@user-ic4xm1di6j why is it often like that!?
Thank you for your overview. I primarily use my computer for research as I like the use of multiple screens and tabs but I do occasionally use my iPad. I have a question for those of you who are iPad Ancestry users.... if I am in a document with a large number of pages and I want to skip 100 pages, how is that done on the app. I only see the next page arrow. Thank you!

You’re welcome. I don’t see a way to skip pages rather than go page by page with the arrow keys. I agree. That’s something they need to fix.
I am using the ancestry mobile app on my Google pixel fold. So far I am not having any problems using the app on my foldable phone . I just need a more comprehensive tutorial on how to use the mobile app and how to build a family tree using the app.

Hope this helps a bit. What else are you needing to assist you with the app?
I have found the app frustrating. I always have to do research on my pc

I think I’m with you for research. I like having the app for travel to look at what I’ve already gathered. I like the maps too. I have a video coming this week about that. But it’s difficult to carefully research.
I use all versions - computer, I-Phone and I-Pad
