Improvements and fixes to Rememberkin, newest first. Have a request or found something off? Email support@rememberkin.com.

  1. Review books by spread, animate FamilySearch portraits

    • Improved

      Ancestor Book editor shows real two-page spreads

      The couple preview now matches the printed book: portrait plate facing biography, photo albums two to a sheet. Navigation reads “Spread 3 of 8” and the sidebar thumbnails are laid out as spreads.

    • New

      Mark each couple ready for print

      An explicit “This couple is ready for print” checkbox replaces the old behavior where moving to the next couple quietly marked it done. Reviewed couples show a green check on the book overview.

    • New

      Enhance and animate FamilySearch profile portraits

      Ancestors whose only picture is their FamilySearch profile portrait can now be enhanced or animated. Small portraits are upscaled automatically before processing.

    • Improved

      More natural photo animation

      Reworked the animation style for gentler head motion and far fewer blinks.

    • New

      Guide: why a deceased relative shows as living on FamilySearch

      Explains the private-copy-never-merged case and how to fix it. Linked from the editors wherever dates or photos are missing.

    • Improved

      Couples are labeled with a surname

      “Warren & Barbara Davis” instead of “Warren & Barbara”, so repeated first names across generations stay distinguishable.

    • New

      Remove photos from individual-page galleries

      The photo editor now offers a Remove action on gallery pages.

    • Fixed

      “Used elsewhere” photo badges respect crops

      Cropping a group photo to one person no longer marks the other person’s crop as already used.

    • Fixed

      Book preview no longer jumps back to page one

      Selecting a portrait plate while photos were still loading used to reset the selection every few seconds.

    • Fixed

      Friendlier messages when photo enhancement fails

      You now see a plain retry message instead of a raw provider error.

    • Fixed

      New book builds start promptly after a failed one

  3. Buy first, design later

    • New

      Buy any book or chart as credit before designing it

      Every product can be purchased up front (or as a gift) and redeemed later in the editor. Buyers pay tax at purchase, so redemption is free.

    • New

      Branded order and account emails

    • Improved

      More reliable FamilySearch imports for large trees

      Imports that failed part way can be restarted, and a book no longer goes live until every person has been saved.

    • Fixed

      Sign-in reliability fixes

  5. Direct checkout and a rebuilt chart editor

    • Improved

      One-step checkout

      Carts are gone. Every product goes straight from the editor to payment.

    • Improved

      Rebuilt wall chart editor

      Fan, pedigree, and descendancy charts share one editor with live previews and print-accurate fonts.

    • New

      Store credit and gifting
