{| style="float:left; width:45%; border:0px"
 * The Instructor Materials - Simple Sandbox is a fake database featuring Robert and Ann, members of their family, and other individuals. This database contains incorrect relationships. All of this is intended to provide a safe place to practice more complicated tasks in Family Tree, such as finding and merging duplicates and fixing incorrect relationships.
 * The first time you go into the Simple Sandbox (Instructor Materials), click on Simple Sandbox First Account. You will be asked to sign-in with your Family Tree username and password. It will take a few minutes to generate your account.
 * To avoid difficulty with the sandbox, no more than five persons should click to make an account at one time.Wait a few minutes for the next group to create their accounts.
 * Every time after the first. click on Simple Sandbox Reset Your Account. You will be given a new fake database. The given names that appear in each family are the same as before (Robert, Ann, Rachel, etc.) But the surnames, dates and places are different.
 * Activities done in the Simple Sandbox can be done repeatedly and do not affect your ancestors' information in FT.
 * Before any changes are made in the Sandbox, it is assumed that the correct relationships in Robert and Ann's family have been established through careful research.
