Ancestron App

The returned results are listed in Ancestron App's interface, displaying a few lines from the contents of the page and emphasizing the keyword from your search, in other to help you figure out if the entries are worth further exploring or not.

By clicking on any of the featured links, the corresponding page will open in your default web browser, enabling you to investigate the results and see if they can be traced back to you or if it is simply a name coincidence.

The toolbar of Ancestron App allows you to move forward and backward just with one click of a button, while the 'Home' option enables you to return to the start screen and perform a new search.
