Linda Jonas (ID: 0000004473e061bd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/31/2022 This extension allows you to add any information you want to be displayed on the YFull Tree. You can add information such as the following where I inserted the YFull ID, the name of the man who took the test, his most distant paternal ancestor, his Family Tree DNA kit number and the test he took: "YF078290" : "Gibbs, John (William Gibbs, b, 1827 Co Monaghan, IRE) FTDNA Kit 123456 Big Y-700" You can also add notes to the haplogroups. I absolutely LOVE this extension!
