Yes. Genealogy Online is not only a place to show your family tree. It also helps you to get further. But that only works if you publish. Your family tree has to be there before it can be compared.
Every month, Genealogy Online compares all family trees with each other. Is an ancestor of yours also in someone else's family tree? Then you see that. Often the other person knows more: an extra generation, a second marriage, a place of birth. That saves you hours of searching. It works both ways: others learn from you too. Have a look at the matches that have already been found.
Genealogy Online knows the scans of records at dozens of archives. For every birth, marriage and death in your family tree it checks whether a scan of the record is online. You then get a link. This way you find proof for what you already knew, and sometimes something new. Read more on the page Scans search.
Genealogy Online checks your data. A mother of eight years old, a child born after the death of the father: such mistakes are reported. You also see place names that are not right. This way your family tree keeps getting better.
Was an ancestor a miller, an artist or a victim of the Second World War? Genealogy Online searches for you in databases such as Allemolens.nl, RKDartists and the Netherlands War Graves Foundation. You get a suggestion, you decide whether it is right.
