Signon: Help

This dialog provides the ability for a user to signon to access extended features of the web site. These features include:

• Contribute to transcriptions of census, birth, marriage, and death databases.
• Post blogs related to individual records in the family tree.
• See private information on individual records in the family tree of which you have been granted shared ownership because you have demonstrated to an existing owner that you have a close relationship.
• Update individual records in the family tree of which you have been granted ownership. This includes adding new immediate relatives, such as spouses, parents, or children.

You get to this dialog by clicking on the "Sign On" button in the upper right-hand corner of any page in the genealogy section of the web-site. Initially the dialog looks like:

You sign on by entering your user identifier and password in the indicated fields, and clicking on the "Sign In" button at the bottom of the page body. If there is a problem a message is displayed and you are given the opportunity to sign on again. Otherwise the top level genealogy web page is displayed.

If you wish to disable the extended features, for example to prevent inadvertent alteration of the database, you can click on the "Sign Off" button.

If you do not have a user name for this site, you can create one by clicking on the "Register" button. This displays a dialog to register a new user name.

Clicking on the "Close" button closes this dialog.
