Individual ancestor pages

Bring your ancestors to life and celebrate them as the real people they were. Each ancestor listed on your family tree website will have a separate page with all of their vital information; including birth, marriage and death dates, as well as any photos and stories you have to share. Information about living family members will be private.

Individual timelines

Find more than your family history; understand your family in history. With the dates in your GEDCOM file, you will have a timeline for each person, including birth, death, marriages, and children. Other important dates like military service, honors received or college graduation can be added online. Genealogy charts will suddenly be about your family, instead of faceless names on dusty papers.

Easy online genealogy charts

Pedigree charts can be confusing and time consuming to fill out on paper. FamilyInHistory organizes all of your information into an easy-to-read family tree. Modern technology makes genealogy work easier and allows your whole family to access the information when they want to. Try FamilyInHistory for your genealogy web hosting and you’ll see how convenient it is to store pedigree and descendancy charts on your own genealogy site.

Family blog

Gone are the days when families filled neighborhoods and Aunt Geraldine lived down the street with your 7 cousins. Now you can keep in touch with a family blog. The blog is a fantastic way to share good news with the whole family, like a promotion or a new baby. Reminisce about childhood memories, share genealogy breakthroughs, get to know your distant cousins, or plan a family reunion.

Security

The additional security of storing your family tree online and having all of your photos and genealogy information on your family tree website protects against damage or loss of information through disasters or accidents. It also eliminates the need to divide up precious family photos and documents or pass around valuable family history charts and information.

Work on it anywhere

If you are going on a genealogy scouting trip, you don’t have to pack up all of your loose papers. Just bring a laptop and access your family tree website online. If you travel for work, evenings can be hard to fill, but it’s a great time to work on your family history. You can also work on it during your lunch hour, waiting for a flight, or anywhere you have access to the internet.

You don’t have to do it alone

Younger generations can be turned off by the old fashioned pen and paper concept, but online work is a familiar and inviting way to get them involved. You might be surprised how excited they will be about genealogy when they can access their family tree online. Instead of having just one person working on your family history, you can now have 10, 100, or even 1000 family members contributing—imagine the possibilities!
