Some Technical Background
• Make sure you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox before you attempt to download the toolbar.
• Here are two independant reviews of the Genealogy Toolbar from the Easter Family Genealogy Blog and from Anglo-Celtic Connections.
• If you already have the Genealogy Toolbar installed, you don't need to reinstall the toolbar or do anything. You will automatically receive the update.
