Question/answer » How do I get in touch with other researchers via Genealogy Online?

You rarely do family tree research alone. Somewhere a person with the same surname or a distant cousin is working on the same family. Genealogy Online brings you together.

Visitors can send you a message

Every publication has a contact form. Anyone who knows something about your family can send you a message this way. Your e-mail address stays hidden. The form is protected against spam. The messages arrive in your mailbox and you can also read them back under My received emails.

What kind of messages do you get? Often additions: a missing date, an extra child, a photo of a gravestone. Sometimes a correction. And sometimes a family member you did not know yet.

Matches with other family trees

Every month, Genealogy Online compares all family trees. Does a person from your family tree also appear with another author? Then you get a message about it. You see right away who is working on the same family. You get in touch via the contact form of that publication.

Your name as a researcher

Your name is shown with your publication. So everyone knows who did the research. Your name links to your profile on the Stamboom Forum. There you can also ask questions yourself to thousands of other researchers.

Good to know

Only a public publication can be found by others. Data of living persons is never shown and is not included in the comparison.
