    I really like that it can be used entirely offline for privacy reasons, but it would be cool if it could search for relatives online to help populate the local tree from sources like Ancestry, etc.

      I will see if I could add it as an optional opt-in feature! Thank you for the feedback!

    Consider supporting references to https://www.familytree.org resources (each person has an xxxx-yyy identifier).

      Cool idea, thank you for suggestion!

    Really cool idea. How well does the app handle merging two large family trees?

      It worked fine in internal testing with sample data, but I've yet to find a real person with two trees that need merging to make a proper test
