What is the handprint concept and how does it benefit me?
Today many genealogy sites are able to give you names of your ancestors
and statistical information about your family; however, few are able to
show you how you are related to each of your ancestors. OneGreatFamily
is able to show how you are related to each of your ancestors by providing
a "handprint." What is a handprint? The handprint, like a fingerprint, is a way to uniquely identify people.
However, the concept of a handprint concept is based on relationships rather than patterns made by the ridges of your skin.
In the past, genealogists have primarily focused on dates and places as evidence to identify ancestors. Dates and Places are valuable, but focusing on family relationships is
better for identifying an ancestor as a unique individual.
The following describes the concept of a genealogy handprint: if you were to place yourself in the palm of your hand
and then use each finger to uniquely identify who you are, your fingers would
represent your father, mother, siblings, children, and spouse. Those
relationships provide the best information or evidence to uniquely
identify you among the billions of other people who have lived on
the earth.
You are able to view your handprint through Genealogy BrowserTM. Selecting any individual in OneGreatFamily gives you access to that individual's unique handprint. You can see the relationships that identify who that person is. The handprint view lets also see details for the individual you have selected or for that individual's family, as either a parent or a child. The handprint view allows you to see details for the selected individual his or her father, mother and spouse. You also see the names and birth information for siblings and children.
Clicking on the selected individual opens the individual details, which lets you edit the record and view additional information, such as biographies, photos, notes, and sources.
The handprint view also includes buttons to view family information. Buttons that say "Family Info." can be clicked to view the details of the selected individual's immediate family. You can choose to see the family in which the individual is a child or the family in which the individual is a parent (if the individual had children). The family view provides marriage/divorce information and access to additional information that applies to the entire family.
OneGreatFamily uses a handprint for more purposes than showing an individual and their relationships in Genealogy Browser. OneGreatFamily also uses the handprint and other available information when constantly searching for ALL of your ancestors. The handprint is useful when finding matches in the OneGreatFamily database and showing you where more information is available on your family tree.
While OneGreatFamily searches for matches for everyone who has submitted
their family trees to OneGreatFamily, only subscribers gain unlimited
access to the new relationships and information that results from
the matching and merging process.
