Question/answer » How do I add stories and documents to my publication?

A family tree consists of names and dates. But you often know much more. How your surname came about. What your great-grandfather did. An old letter or a family coat of arms. You can add such stories and documents to your publication. This is a feature of the Plus subscription.

How to add a story

1. Log in and go to Publication management.
2. Choose your publication and click Story management.
3. Choose New story to write text yourself. Or choose New document to upload a file, for example a PDF.
4. Give the story a title and a short summary. Save and publish.

You can decide the order of your stories yourself.

Where can the stories be seen?

Your stories are shown on the home page of your publication. They also appear on the Stories page of Genealogy Online, together with the stories of other authors. This way, people who do not know your family tree also find your story.

Ideas for stories

• the origin of your surname;
• the life story of a special ancestor;
• occupations and traditions in the family;
• a transcription of an old record or letter;
• the results of DNA research.
