AncestorOS analyzes your tree and surfaces six types of discoveries — hints, potential records, DNA insights, upcoming anniversaries, missing data alerts, and new items — all from your own data, organized in a filterable dashboard with confidence levels and one-tap actions.
Four stat cards at the top give you an instant count of new hints, potential records, DNA-linked discoveries, and missing data points waiting for review. Filter tabs let you focus on one type at a time — All, Hints, Records, DNA, Anniversaries, Missing Info, or New. Every card shows a confidence indicator (low, medium, or high) so you know which discoveries to act on first.
Missing Info discoveries automatically identify people in your tree with incomplete key fields. Each card includes a direct "Add Info" button that opens the person editor so you can fill the gap without hunting for them. The Anniversaries tab surfaces upcoming birthdays and death anniversaries from your tree automatically — so meaningful dates never slip past unnoticed.
Every discovery card shows the type, title, description, and a confidence indicator. Action buttons let you Accept a discovery to save it, Dismiss it with a confirmation (keeping your queue clean), View Source for external links, View Person to jump directly to that person's profile, or Add Info to open the person editor for missing-data discoveries. Each hint also tells you exactly what to do next — like "Add their birth date in the person editor to resolve this."
The more you add, the more AncestorOS can analyze and surface — all from what you've entered.
As you build your tree, AncestorOS scans it for patterns, missing fields, relationship gaps, and data that warrants a hint. Upcoming birthdays and death anniversaries are tracked automatically. DNA match entries you've added feed the DNA tab. All analysis stays within your own data — no external databases involved.
Open the Discoveries screen to see your dashboard: stat cards showing counts by category, followed by filterable cards for Hints, Records, DNA, Anniversaries, Missing Info, and New items. Each card shows confidence (low / medium / high), a description, and the suggested next action.
Tap Accept to save a discovery, Dismiss to remove it from view (with a confirmation step), or use the action buttons — View Person, View Source, or Add Info — to resolve it directly. Discoveries move from "new" to "accepted" or "dismissed" so your queue always reflects what still needs attention.
Hints, records, DNA, anniversaries, missing info, and new items — all organized with confidence levels and direct action buttons.
Patterns noticed in your tree data — naming conventions, birth spacing, migration trends — surfaced as gold-coded Hint discoveries with a confidence level and suggested action.
People in your tree with incomplete key fields are flagged automatically. Each card includes an Add Info button that opens the person editor directly — no hunting required.
Upcoming birthdays and death anniversaries from your family tree are surfaced automatically in the Anniversaries tab — no manual entry needed.
The DNA tab shows insights derived from DNA match information you've manually entered. These are your own data analyzed — not external DNA database connections.
Each discovery card shows a three-dot confidence indicator — low, medium, or high — so you can quickly prioritize which ones to act on first.
No external databases, no AI guessing. Every discovery is generated from what you've entered — tree data, relationships, dates, and DNA matches you've recorded yourself.
Build your tree and your discoveries dashboard fills with hints, anniversaries, missing data alerts, and more — automatically.
