Ancestry 3.1 has been released for iOS Universal (iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch) by Ancestry.com. Ancestry is a free genealogy application related to Ancestry.com. It allows you to access your Ancestry.com genealogy data as well as use Ancestry.com on the go. Whether this is timed to coincide with tomorrow’s rumored launch of an iPad 3 or iPad HD is anybody’s guess.
Ancestry 3.1 is a significant upgrade though. Besides speed and stability improvements, there are now push notifications enabled when there are events on Ancestry.com that affect you – new historical records related to ancestors you’ve researched on Ancestry.com, etc. There is a hint feature built in, and now there is a Relationship Calculator built-in, handy for when you are showing somebody something and they ask how you (or they) are related to that person.
