Social Networking for Genealogy » The Collaborative Family Tree

56 Links

Social networking for genealogy most often refers to the ability to build, share, and interact with online family trees. However, the breadth or depth of the online tools vary across the board. Some tools also offer other features of social networking such as sharing photos or creating calendars and timelines. The links in this section represent a variety of these types of sites.

    In 22 languages, Rodovid's family tree maker is probably the most advanced web-based technology to date, especially in terms of its ability to generate very large trees containing dozens of generations and thousands of people. It is far beyond the capabilities of any computer-based family tree makers and web-based technologies from paid websites. There is no need to pay money for creating and sharing your family tree Rodovid is powered by the MediaWiki content management system (the same used by Wikipedia), so anyone familiar with the system can work on Rodovid easily. More detailed information about Rodovid is available at the About Rodovid page.

  • TreeX.com - Genealogy, Family Trees, Records and online Family Tree builder

    Relatives, friends or professional genealogists can work together or alone to help grow their family trees. Keep track of family ancestry and post photographs and historical text. The owner of the family tree can invite as many people as he wants to assist him in this effort. Trees are grown by inputting data directly to the site or by accessing computer files saved in the required GEDCOM format. Other information, photos and videos can also be inserted into the tree generically or for each member, improving quality and scope of the tree. A family tree can be kept confidential, set to public view or set to allow specified persons or relatives to access it -- and forums and user message boards have also been made available to make the exchange of information easier.
