No. This site doesn't store any data to avoid having to deal with databases and servers, and in order to keep this site free and maintainable. Therefore, I have no way of keeping track of the citations you create. All data that you may enter on the site is cleared when you leave the site.

Of course! My goal is to make sure that this website becomes as useful of a tool as possible for anyone interested in Family History, especially students. I would love to hear feedback on the kinds of features that would be useful to you. The best way to reach me is by email at agbonnyh@gmail.com. Just two caveats. This is a side project that I work on in my (very limited) free time, so there may be some features that take a long time to be implemented or that I don't have the bandwidth to create and maintain. Also, I'm not being paid for this website meaning that some features may not be feasible because of the costs that would be associated with maintaining them.
