Hi all,
I have had another update on the new Ancestry Aid Family Tree Maker. The system is looking very good indeed. At the moment we are still on for going live early next month (maybe sooner).
For those of you that have used the tree maker over at Ancestry you will find our version easy to use. We have designed the tree maker based on theirs as we found it to be the best one out there.
Some of the features included:
- Start your tree manually or upload your GEDCOM
- Each member can create up to 8 (eight) seperate trees on their account.
- Inline editing of people in your tree.
- Add photos to your tree and to people in your tree.
- Upload files and stories to your tree and link them to people.
- Write stories and articles.
- Invite family and friends to view your tree automatically simply by adding their email address. The system will take care of the rest for you.
- Add life events to people in your tree.
- Choose to keep your tree private and exclude it from search results.
- Integrated AncestryAid hints for hot matches from your tree to other trees in the system.
- Pedegree view with AJAX animation (like on Ancestry)
- Add comments (like a notebook) to people in your tree. Allow others to make comments.
- Search other trees in the system and contact the owner of the tree via Ancestry Aid's Private Message system.
- Import & Export your GEDCOM file.
Those are a few of the features that I can think of off the top of my head. Alot of the ground work has been done and I will be soon entering the Q&A phase of the project with the designers.
I will keep you posted.
Regards
