Question/answer » How do I show what I have researched?

Years of searching in archives, hundreds of records, a family tree of many generations. You can be proud of that. On Genealogy Online you show it, to family and to other researchers.

Your name as compiler

Your name is on the home page of your publication and under every person page. Anyone who uses your data can cite your work properly. And anyone with a question knows who to turn to.

Showing sources

Have you recorded sources in your family tree program? Then they are shown with every fact in your publication. Visitors can see that your research is sound. With matches it is also shown how many sources you have. A family tree with sources is taken more seriously.

Beautiful overviews

Mark an ancestor or a progenitor as a starting point. Genealogy Online then creates a pedigree chart or a descendant report: as text, as a graphic, as a PDF and as an e-book. All starting points of all authors are on the page Starting points. In addition you get maps and statistics of your family tree.

Your place in a bigger whole

Are you a member of a genealogical society? Or does your family tree belong to a region or a subject? Add your publication to a collection. Your family tree then stands among those of like-minded people. Special publications are also put in the spotlight on the page Family trees.

Working by the rules

Do you want to know what good research looks like? On the page Reference you find the genealogical standards and guidelines.
