Family In History

How Your Family Tree Website Works

Custom family tree website

Your family will have a personalized genealogy website to store and share genealogy information, photos, stories and more (e.g. http://yourname.familyinhistory.com/ ). Each member will have a user profile with a unique log in and password, as well as their own private page they can update. Everyone you invite will have instant access to your family tree online.

 

It couldn’t be easier

With a simple click you can upload your GEDCOM file to instantly create a custom family tree website that your relatives can enjoy and expand. Your group can view online genealogy charts and make a family tree online. To show you how easy it is, you can try it out free.

 

Administration

As the administrator you will have control of who can do what on your site. If you’re not sure you want crazy Uncle Joe embellishing the stories with his creative memories, you can limit what each member’s rights are. Administrative privileges include the ability to add, edit or delete any content. Collaborators can upload pictures, stories and timeline events. Viewers can read, enjoy the stories and relationships and view your family tree online.

 

Flexibility

Create additional pages for your website with just two clicks. Don't feel intimidated if you don’t have any experience building web pages. You can create these pages in a user-friendly "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" editor. Experienced webmaster? Great—feel free to customize your family tree website using the HTML editor for these additional pages.

 

Accept donations

Easily accept donations on your website by including your Paypal address. You won’t have to wait for checks in the mail to help pay for family reunions, copies, or other genealogy-related expenses. When family members want to donate, they will be taken directly to Paypal where they can contribute with a credit card, bank account or Paypal account. This is especially ideal for a family association.

 

Breakthroughs

Through your FamilyInHistory website, you could make connections with other branches of your family tree. More of your family could be out there looking for you, and this is the perfect way for them to find you. They might have the missing piece of information that you have spent years searching for.
