(It&#8217;s the only part of The Family History Guide that requires a username and password; the rest of the site does not.) With the Online Tracker, or &#8220;OLT&#8221; as we sometimes call it, you can keep track of your notes and progress in The Family History Guide in a secure online database.<\/p>\n<p>Today we updated the OLT in a number of ways to help your user experience be even better. Here&#8217;s a list of the new enhancements, going from top to bottom of the screen:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Menu updates<\/em>. Now the OLT has the same double-menu system as was recently introduced to the rest of the site.<\/li>\n<li><em>Green bar update<\/em>. The green menu bar now lets you go back to the Home page of the OLT or change your account settings.<\/li>\n<li><em>Learning paths<\/em>. There are now Project sections for FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Findmypast.<\/li>\n<li><em>Country Research<\/em>. Regions and countries are now represented in the OLT. The North America region is finished, and other regions will be added in the next few weeks.<\/li>\n<li><em>Footer updates<\/em>. The OLT now uses the same new footer as the rest of the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the new Learning Paths and Country Research sections. Active links in the OLT are green. And &#8220;coming soon&#8221; really does mean coming soon!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1008\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/OLT1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/OLT1.jpg 799w, https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/OLT1-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/OLT1-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Online Tracker still has the same great original features: secure account management, easy updates with slider bars, and notes sections for capturing key learning.
