How do I confirm a match in the new Discoveries section?

To confirm a match in the new Discovery section of your family site, please do the following:


​

1. Log in to your family site.


​

2. Move your mouse cursor over the ‘Discoveries’ tab and select ‘Matches by people’ or 'Matches by source'.


​

3. Select All Matches, Smart Matches or Record Matches view.


​

4. Click ‘Review X matches’ on the right side of the person’s name to view a list of all the matches found for this person.


​

5. Click on ‘Review match’ to access detailed information about the specific match.


​


​

The next page will give you all details available about the matching individual, including photos, facts, relatives, as well as a tree comparison window where you can view the person's card in both your tree and the matching tree.


​

6. To confirm the match without extracting information to your family tree, click on the ‘Confirm Match’ button in the top right corner.

Note: If you wish to 'unconfirm' a match, filter down the matches by ‘Confirmed’, click on ‘Review X match’, then on ‘Review match’. You will see a sentence stating that the match was confirmed and saved. Click on ‘Undo confirm’ in order to cancel the match confirmation:

Note: To confirm 'all matches' at once, you need to visit the 'matches by source page' and filter down the matches by 'Smart Matches'. Click on 'More actions' on the upper right-hand side of the list and choose 'Confirm all'.
