Find the gaps worth investigating next
A large tree can hide an unfinished line, a missing date or two records for the same person. Research analysis and checks help you choose where to look more closely.
Coverage that points back to the records
Choose ancestors, descendants or the project as your research scope. Review ancestry gaps, birth and death information and unrecorded parentage, then inspect the records behind the finding.
Run the tree checker for consistency findings. Review possible person duplicates before deciding whether they are the same individual, and inspect a merge preview before making a permanent change.

Signals for review, with the decision left to you
- A research scope you choose
- Review ancestors, descendants or a project, so coverage relates to the part of the research you are working on.
- Missing dates and parentage
- Find birth or death information that is missing or undated, and ancestry positions where a parent has not been recorded.
- Consistency findings
- Run the tree checker and inspect each finding in context. A historical exception may be legitimate and needs research judgment.
- Duplicate review and merge preview
- Compare possible duplicate people, inspect affected data and retain linked evidence and conflicting events when merging. These tools are part of the core workspace.
What this does not do
A finding is not an automatic correction
Shared names and dates do not prove two records are the same person. Review the evidence before a merge, which is permanent. Coverage measures what has been recorded, not whether every assertion is correct; an unknown parent is a research gap to investigate.
