    Our New Family Group Sheet and Pedigree Chart are now available for use!

    Do you sometimes get nervous having your information stored only on your computer? Just recently OneGreatFamily has added a new feature to our site that can help keep you better organized and take away the fear of records being lost or erased. OneGreatFamily has created new downloadable and printable forms for you to maintain a "paper trail" of the information you enter and find using OneGreatFamily. These pages are available in PDF format, so they can be accessed for free on any computer system. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free application that allows anyone to view and print these downloadable forms.

    Our new Family Group Sheet and Pedigree Chart allow you to enter detailed information on each family and individual in your family tree. You can use the resources at OneGreatFamily to store your information in on our database and maintain a "hard copy" for new research notes and personal records at home.

     Q&A: Use OneGreatFamily to keep organized when doing your genealogy research!

    What resources does OneGreatFamily offer to help me keep organized and further my research?

    by Chelsea Beattie - Marketing Manager

    Many OneGreatFamily visitors have specific research needs that go beyond the resources currently available within OneGreatFamily. OneGreatFamily now provides links to some of the best services available. These resources include this FREE genealogy newsletter from OneGreatFamily, links to past "One Great Genealogy Site" Award winners, and OneGreatFamily Preferred Affiliate websites. We also offer other resources such as sites about ethnicity and religion, genealogy education, genealogical tours and travel, and family history libraries.

    We also offer FREE genealogy tools that include our "Genealogy Names Alternates Look Up" and printable genealogy forms. The "Genealogy Names Alternates Look Up" tool allows you to look up differently spelled (but equivalent) first names or last names. It also allows you to request additional first name or last name alternate spellings that are not already listed.

    Many of us like to have our records on our computer and also tangible records. Our new printable Pedigree Chart and Family Group Sheet are now available for those who prefer to handwrite their genealogy, or desire to see their genealogy work in a tangible form. Each sheet allows you to enter specific, useful information. These forms now make it easier for you to keep organized.

    OneGreatFamily is the only genealogy service that allows you to see your whole family tree at once. You can zoom in and out to view a portion of your family tree in more detail. There is also an option of printing your entire pedigree chart.

    If you would like to become part of our resource index, send us an e-mail with the site you would like us to include. We are always open to any suggestions on how we can help make your research process easier and help keep you better organized. Please send your suggestions to marketing@onegreatfamily.com!
