Improvements to GenMail Service

OneGreatFamily continues to work on your genealogy while you are away from the computer. This effort results in matches and merges with other family branches found at OneGreatFamily.com. GenMail is a free service provided by OneGreatFamily to let you know the results of our ongoing efforts.

OneGreatFamily launched a new "friendlier" version of GenMail earlier this month. The new version provides a summary of what has been happening in your family tree as a result of OneGreatFamily's ongoing efforts. The new version includes the first 20 names of individuals who have been merged. Each merge may result in the addition of new individuals to your family tree and in new collaboration opportunities.

Links are provided in GenMail to a complete report of each individual affected. This report is only available to subscribers.

After a new GenMail is sent, OneGreatFamily starts compiling a list of changes for the next batch of GenMail messages. These messages are now being sent on a weekly basis.

If you have not received a GenMail, you may need to add more information to your personal family tree. Adding information to your family tree provides more potential links to the OneGreatFamily database.

Please look for additional improvements to GenMail soon!

  3. Click on the "Family Info" button found between the selected individual and the individual's spouse in the Handprint View
  4. Click on the "Family Group" button found on the Family Info dialog box
  5. You will then see the Family Group report for this family. You can then preview and print the Family Group report for your records.

Interface Enhancements for Hints and Conflicts

You can now access Hints (light bulbs) and Conflicts (lightning bolts) in Genealogy Browser easier than ever. Clicking on these icons from the Handprint View now lets you review the information in question. Prior to this improvement, access to these features was only available after clicking on an individual to view the Individual Details.

A second change to Genealogy Browser expands the area that can be clicked from the Handprint View to include the Individual Header. Previously, clicking on this area provided no action.

We have also made a few wording changes to make the process of reviewing Hints and Conflicts easier to understand. These changes are especially helpful to those who are new to the services and features found at OneGreatFamily.
