Genealogists, family historians, and family associations can now
use a collaborative platform to preserve genealogy and family history.
Salt Lake City, UT (Bluehost/PRWEB ) September 19, 2007 - With the
recent launch of family history Web site FamilyInHistory.com (http://
http://www.familyinhistory.com), genealogy is now a collaborative effort,
involving entire families and all generations.
The search for ancestors used to be a solitary pursuit, but the
collaboration capabilities of FamilyInHistory.com allow every family
member to contribute to the effort.
"Imagine if 10, 100, or even 1000 people were all working together
and contributing information on the same family tree," says David
Grow, founder and CEO of FamilyInHistory. "We're making it more than
just genealogy and names and dates, it's about your family in history;
who they were, what they did, what they looked like," says Grow.
"By working together to put stories and pictures to the names and
dates that have already been found, ancestors come alive as more than
names on paper. They become real people with faces and personalities.
The most efficient way to accomplish and view the work is through a
collaborative Web site," says Grow.
Family associations use FamilyInHistory as a simple way to include
more members in tracing ancestors and to get them involved in the
association. The blog allows them to share information with everyone
quickly and efficiently.
"A resource like this is invaluable to a family association," says
Robert Grow, President of the Jared Pratt Family Association.
"Thousands of Jared Pratt descendants are able to share and contribute
genealogy information in a very convenient way."
"We can make much more progress on tracing all of the branches of
our family tree when so many people are actively involved." says
Robert Grow. "It's exciting to learn about our ancestors as
individuals who lived incredible lives, and now more of us can work
together to build that library of information to share."
Giving an identity to ancestors and recognizing how they were part
of important historical eras, like the Civil War, pioneer efforts, or
immigrating to make a new life in the United States, draws the younger
generations to genealogy. They are becoming interested in the people
who came before them.
Leo Ebbert, a 28-year old CPA and financial advisor has been
working on his family's genealogy with his mother. "For years it was
just my mom working on our family history," says Ebbert. "Recently
both of us have been working on it, and we are accomplishing a little
more."
"I love the idea of putting our family history information on a
collaborative Web site so more of my siblings can see it and get
interested," he says. "It would be great to have more of us involved,
and I think that knowing our ancestors as real people will make it
more interesting to them."
FamilyInHistory subscribers have a personalized genealogy Web site
to store and share genealogy information, photos, stories, current
information and more. Each ancestor has a page with personal
information like important dates and photos, as well as a personal
timeline.
Genealogy research was modernized several years ago with the use
of family history software that converts to genealogy data
communication (GEDCOM) format, a generic format compatible with most
family history software. Anyone with a computer and an internet
connection can easily upload GEDCOM files to their custom
FamilyInHistory Web site.

Interesting that this was mailed by the company and not someone who is
already subscribed to FamilyPulse or FamilyInHistory (same people). Not
even Ancestry gets desperate enough to advertise here when they come out
with something new.
