Family Tree Site



If you like genealogy and have been looking for an interactive way for family members across the country (or even the world) to be involved than you must check out this great family tree site. It is called MyHeritage.com. I love this site! It is so easy to navigate and to update your family tree. I uploaded over 30 family members in about 20 minutes. It's fun and addicting.

I didn't realize it at the time but the site automatically e-mails all of the family members you add and tells them about the site. The e-mail invites them to add more information. I thought this was a great feature because I certainly don't know everyone's details. This way they can fill in any blanks I had and/or make any corrections to my information.
Myheritage.com allows you to upload pictures and tag them. It also provides a way for family members to keep in touch by sending messages to one another. Another great feature is the "events" tab. It shows you all of the family's upcoming events such as birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, parties and much, much more. Now you won't have any excuses for not remembering anyone's birthday.

Anyway! Check it out. I think you will love this family tree site as much as I do. It really is a lot of fun.
