The Genealogist

Genealogists Can Earn Online

UK based Genealogist and Internet Marketer Paul Duxbury has launched Genealogy Experts. The site provides a range of resources to help Genealogists take advantage of the Internet to generate a regular monthly income.

The internet has opened up the world of genealogy in ways which could not have been envisaged even a few short years ago. However, all the information that is available is leaving more and more people confused and asking questions about their findings as the thousands of questions that are posed in forums demonstrates. There is a massive opportunity for professional and passionate amateur genealogists on the internet but many of them say that they don’t know where to start.

There are full-time and part-time Genealogists or Researchers who are struggling to maintain their income as more and more information becomes freely available on the internet.
Many passionate amateur genealogists want to share their passion with others through the internet but are not sure what to do.
Many would like to be able to set up your own Family Tree website but don’t know how to get visitors to their site and to cover the costs of their hosting and other expenses.
Many enjoy writing about genealogy and would like to be able to earn a regular monthly income from it.
Many have their own genealogical website and find that it appears nowhere in the Search Engine rankings and it is costing them more than they are earning from it.

More and more genealogical information is now freely available on the internet. More and more professional and amateur genealogists who want to share their work and passion with others are admitting that they don’t know what to do on the internet! They want to be able to succeed and are looking for guidance and advice on how they can go about it.

Each and every month there are literally hundreds of thousands of people searching for genealogy on the internet? There is a massive opportunity for full-time, part-time and amateur genealogists to generate income on the internet but so far there hasn’t been one place that you can go to get the advice, guidance and useful tools to help you.

That is about to change!

Three Clicks Away!

THE GROWING interest in family history over the last few years has been remarkable. With a new series of the popular BBC programme “Who do you think you think you are?” due to start in the New Year, family history and genealogy research is becoming easier thanks to the internet. Leading the way in online genealogy is the website www.familyrelatives.org which has begun to revolutionise Family History research by making the process of locating Birth, Marriage and Death records (BMD) for England and Wales much easier, more accurate, cheaper and without the need to visit the Family Records Centre in Central London.

Familyrelatives.org has launched the complete records for the period 1837, (the year of Queen Victoria’s coronation and the year records began) to 2003. It is the first website to make available 300 million records searchable by Surname and Forename with 150 million of those records being fully searchable on any criteria from spouse name to age at death to mother’s maiden name.

This ease of use and pinpointing of family relatives has created much excitement in the Family History community as no other website allows the searching of marriages by using a marriage match or booster marriage facility.

Familyrelatives.org search capabilities allow family history enthusiasts to find an ancestor quickly and identify the exact record needed. Searches for 1866-1920 and 1984 to 2003 can be made by forename, surname, mother’s maiden name, spouse’s maiden name, approximate age at death (+/- 5 years), year of event, year range, geographical area as well as official registry districts.

In addition a unique and exciting feature has been added which allows researchers to track down spouses using the ‘Marriage Match’ search.

Now we can go to the right records almost immediately with the Marriage Match. For example we want to research Charlie Chaplin’s mother: we know his father was also called Charles Chaplin, and we know his parents were married sometime between 1870 and 1910 and his mother’s surname was Hill, although we don’t have her forename or the precise date they were married. We can search for Charles Chaplin in the period during which the marriage took place (1870 to 1910); and entering the spouse name. Once the search button is pressed it searches 150 million records and it produces one result. As we know that Charlie Chaplin’s mother was called Hill, we have established our match as Hannah Harriet Hill, St Saviour.1d, Page 325, Marriage – Quarter 2, 1885. Furthermore an important and invaluable feature is that all previous searches are automatically saved allowing researchers to pick up from where they left off.

Treequest Ltd., the company behind Familyrelatives.org, says “Genealogists across the globe are beginning to appreciate this remarkable facility in terms of reliability and user-friendliness. The new additions and the new search functions are just part of our commitment to the Family History research community, to make available as many useful UK genealogical documents as possible on our website and to make sure that they can be accessed in the quickest, most up to date and most affordable way.

We have had some very positive comments and interesting stories. One lady found out that not only did she have a Nelson in her family but she also had a Bonaparte (which no doubt they kept quiet at the time!). We also had a family history enthusiast who was tracing his roots and found he was related to Cecil Rhodes of Rhodesia or modern day Zimbabwe. So it’s very rewarding to be able to help people trace their heritage.”

MyFamily.com Changes Corporate Name to The Generations Network

MyFamily.com, Inc., the leading online network for connecting families across distance and time, has announced that it is changing its name to The Generations Network, Inc.,
effective immediately.

The company will continue to serve families online through its portfolio of leading brands and websites. Ancestry.com, Ancestry.co.uk, Rootsweb.com, and Genealogy.com together
form the No. 1 network of family history websites in both the United States and United Kingdom; Ancestry’s OneWorldTree(SM) is the world’s largest online family tree

Ancestry.ca, Ancestry.com.au, and Ancestry.de were recently launched to extend the company’s presence into Canada, Australia and Germany. Family Tree Maker(R) remains the world’s No. 1 selling family tree software

MyFamily.com, online since 1998 as a place for families to connect and share photos and news, is being overhauled and relaunched in early 2007. The company also publishes Ancestry Magazine and over 50 book and CD-ROM titles.

” The Generations Network has a powerful mission to connect families across distance and time, said Tim Sullivan, the Company’s President and CEO. Our company was founded over two decades ago as a publisher of genealogy products. Today, we are a multi-brand company focused on providing families with unique, interactive online experiences that help them research their family history, share and publish their stories, and
find and stay connected to family members throughout the world.

We felt now was a good time to establish a company identity expansive enough to encompass everything that we do, but also completely focused on the family … across the generations. Over the past year, we’ve improved Ancestry.com through the addition of millions of new records, enhanced
tree-building and family networking technologies, and by giving our members the ability to save and store their precious family photos and memories online. We’ve grown rapidly in the UK and expanded our presence into new international markets.

In 2007, we are looking forward to the upcoming relaunch of
MyFamily.com, an exciting new release of Family Tree Maker, and our plansto make Ancestry.com even more mainstream and indispensable to families around the world. And we’re thrilled to be moving forward as The Generations Network.”
