Discover your ancestors and build your family tree
by searching The Social Security Death Index!OneGreatFamily
will soon provide you with access to the most influential Social
Security Death Index available on the Internet! The Social Security
Death Index contains records that are collected from the U.S. Social
Security Administrations Death Master File. This government provided
database contains over 70 million names of deceased individuals
whose death had been reported to the SSA, was of employment age
after 1935, and died before April 2004. The social security death
index contains details about the individual's name (Last, First),
social security number, birth date (usually complete), death date
(usually month/year), last known residence (zip code, city, county,
state), and last benefit payment location (zip code, city, county,
state).
These records you receive from the SSDI can also lead
to the discovery of more vital information. So watch for the
addition of the SSDI on our site! Make sure you take advantage of
this new tool to help discover your ancestors and build your family
tree!

Does OneGreatFamily Sell my Data?by
Chelsea Beattie - Marketing Manager
OneGreatFamily is not in the business of selling
user-submitted data. OneGreatFamily's business is focused on
facilitating genealogy growth and discoveries by providing
personalized access to the human family tree. Some
customers have a hard time understanding what OneGreatFamily is and
what is included in a subscription to OneGreatFamily. Some people
erroneously believe OneGreatFamily is in the business of selling
family tree data.
Some of this confusion is created by
competitors that charge fees to access their family tree collections
or that sell family tree data that has been freely submitted back to
customers on CD-ROMs. OneGreatFamily does not engage in either
practice.
What is included in a subscription to
OneGreatFamily?
If OneGreatFamily doesn't sell data, then
what is included in a subscription? OneGreatFamily spent three years
developing technology that automatically compares your family tree
with the family trees that have been submitted by others. Where
exact matches are found, the data is merged.
Merges in
OneGreatFamily create opportunities for people to collaborate on
their genealogies, identify new ancestors, and discover conflicting
information. As explained in past newsletters, OneGreatFamily's
ability to preserve each person's view of the family tree is
something that makes OneGreatFamily unique.
OneGreatFamily
charges money for the added value the OneGreatFamily system provides
in helping people around the world collaborate on one family tree
This approach reduces duplication, makes identifying ancestors
easier, and improves the ability of each member of OneGreatFamily to
collaborate with others.
OneGreatFamily provides each member
of OneGreatFamily with complete access to the information they have
submitted to the service. The Genealogy Browser allows anyone who is
a subscriber or registered guest to edit or download their personal
information.
Subscribers receive the added benefit of being
able to view the names and information for individuals who have been
added to their family trees through accepted hints and automated
merges. Subscribers can also print wall charts and use a Genealogy
Browser that does not display advertising.

An Expression of Gratitude from Member to
MemberThe following success story shows how the efforts of
one individual at OneGreatFamily can benefit others. The following
is a simple message of gratitude we received this week:
"Mary was so helpful. With her help and the help of
others I found my great grandfather's village in Switzerland. I
received help from some helpers I don't even know, but I truly
thank Mary Jones from Ohio and Walter from Switzerland. They do
know what they are doing, or they know things I don't. Thanks
again. This OneGreatFamily is one great site." Submit your success story
