OneGreatFamily Does Not Sell
Data
OneGreatFamily is not in the business of
selling user-submitted data. OneGreatFamily's
business is focused on facilitating genealogy
growth and discoveries by providing personalized
access to the human family
tree.
Some customers have a hard time understanding
what OneGreatFamily is and what is included in a
subscription to OneGreatFamily. Some people
erroneously believe OneGreatFamily is in the
business of selling family tree data.
Some of this confusion is created by
competitors that charge fees to access their
family tree collections or that sell family tree
data that has been freely submitted back to
customers on CD-ROMs. OneGreatFamily does not
engage in either practice.
What is included in a subscription to
OneGreatFamily?
If OneGreatFamily doesn't sell data, then what
is included in a subscription? First, every
subscription includes access to the only single
shared collaborative on-line family tree in the
world. Everyone who works on OneGreatFamily is
working on the same shared family tree, so when
one member adds to the tree, that material is
immediately available to all other
members.
Still, OneGreatFamily also has the unique
ability to preserve each person's member’s view of
the single shared collaborative on-line family
tree. If one member believes that an ancestor had
a 2nd wife, and another member believes that
ancestor did not have that 2nd wife, they will
both see the tree as they desire.
Second, OneGreatFamily spent years developing
technology that automatically searches every name
in your family tree with every name in our single
shared collaborative on-line family tree. Where
exact matches are found, the data is merged. This
means that OneGreatFamily eliminates duplication
in research. If 100 people submit the same family
line, all 100 will be de-duplicated down to one
single family line.
Third, merges in OneGreatFamily create
opportunities for people to collaborate on their
genealogies, identify new ancestors, and discover
conflicting information. OneGreatFamily has
collaboration built in, with the ability to easily
reach out to others working on your same family
lines.
Fourth, a subscription to
OneGreatFamily includes the use of the Genealogy
Browser™, a free downloadable family tree program
what allows you to view, edit and print the single
shared collaborative on-line family tree. This
program includes many unique features, including
the ability to zoom in and out on any portion of
your family tree, allowing you to get the context
of where various ancestors are in your
tree.
Fifth, subscribers receive the added benefit of
being able to view the names and information for
individuals who have been added to their family
trees through accepted hints and automated
merges.
Sixth, OneGreatFamily allows users to upload
and preserve up to 3 gigabytes of your multimedia
objects. In addition to making it easy to share
these with other relatives around the world, this
storage represents a secure backup in case of
accident or natural disaster that destroys your
originals.
Seventh, a subscription to OneGreatFamily
provides you access to the subscriber version of
the Weekly Newsletter. This informative newsletter
is focused on helping you get the most out of
OneGreatFamily.
OneGreatFamily is not in the business of
selling user-submitted data. However,
OneGreatFamily has invested millions of dollars in
the development of all the capabilities mentioned
above. Further, these capabilities are unique—no
other company in the world offers all these
capabilities. We believe you will find a
OneGreatFamily subscription to be some of the best
money you have ever spent on genealogy.
OneGreatFamily's business is focused on
facilitating genealogy growth and discoveries by
providing personalized access to the shared human
family tree.
