Genealogy Corner… Genealogy Facebook Apps

Issue 25.11

Part 2

With Live Roots you can tap into a specialized search index listing more than 230,000 resources (about 25 percent are fee-based). You can discover new resources, navigate locations, search keywords and surnames, and suggest other genealogy resources. Search for your surname on more than 15 websites, including Ancestry.com and Google Books, simultaneously.

Mundia is Ancestry.com’s app to locate family and search for ancestors in public trees and message boards on Ancestry.com. You can build your family tree, track family events, create a photo gallery, tag pictures, search message boards, send messages to family members and view family facts.  Use the Find People function to search 1 billion people in more than 10 million family trees.

One Family Tree is an app from family website service OneFamilyTree and has the ability to import a GEDCOM file.  You can build your family tree, collaborate with family members, share photos, and track family events. Check Privacy Settings under the Admin tab to control visibility of your Anniversary Calendar and Family Wall.

We’re Relate is Family Link’s app that helps you find other relatives on Facebook and share information. You can build your family tree, connect with relatives, create a family “photage” to post on Facebook and again, expect a barrage of ads.  (Hey Mark Zuckerberg didn’t become the world’s youngest billionaire the old fashioned way!)
