While You're Relaxing This Summer, OneGreatFamily is Working Hard on Your Family Tree

Many of you are spending your free time this summer relaxing and enjoying the nice weather. As much as you enjoy genealogy, on those beautiful summer days, who wants to be stuck indoors on a computer? OneGreatFamily can help you out! While you are having fun in the sun, OneGreatFamily is comparing your ancestors to all the other names added to OneGreatFamily. It’s like having a personal assistant who does the legwork for you so when you get started you can be super-productive.

We do this in three ways:

1. OneGreatFamily does all the searching for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Our search system is constantly comparing your entire family tree against any existing or newly entered data. Think of all the time you save by not having to enter each name of interest into a search engine, then adjusting the search criteria to try to get to a manageable number of results.

2. OneGreatFamily focuses your attention on both obvious and probable matches. Instead of forcing you to wade through mountains of useless records, OneGreatFamily automatically discards the obvious mismatches. Possible matches are identified and highlighted with a "light bulb" icon. The system calls these "hints." You can then go in and waste no time by reviewing these hints, which could lead to finding more ancestors.

3. OneGreatFamily allows you to leverage the efforts of thousands of other genealogy enthusiasts. Many individuals spend needless hours, days, and weeks searching for names that others have already found, documented, and recorded into the OneGreatFamily tree. When you use OneGreatFamily, you will be provided with those names without any work by you! The only step that you need to take is to get started by submitting all the information you already have. Then, check back every once in a while to see what we've found. Many users see their family trees grow faster than they ever expected!

Subscribe to OneGreatFamily, submit your family tree, then sit back and enjoy your summer. Let us do the legwork for you.  Then the next time you log in at OneGreatFamily, you will see if there are any hints leading to your ancestors. The power of OneGreatFamily lies in the fact that the OneGreatFamily Tree isn't just another collection of family trees, but instead is a single, unified, global family tree that everyone is working on.
