RootsFinder tries to be a great tree for supporting genealogy researchers at all levels, but especially new genealogy researchers. It also focuses heavily on pictures, stories, and videos to make things more interesting for a younger audience.
Here is the announcement:
RootsFinder.com
is a free, online family tree that makes researching family history
much easier. Unlike other online trees, which only provide hints to
their own content, RootsFinder provides hints and search suggestions to
websites such as:
- FamilySearch
- FindMyPast
- AmericanAncestors
- BillionGraves
- FindAGrave
- Ancestry
- MyHeritage
- and more
In addition, seamless sync with
FamilySearch, integration with GenSmarts, evidence analysis, embedded
research logs, and DNA tools (coming soon) add to RootsFinder’s powerful
offering.
Along with these valuable tools,
RootsFinder has also developed two Chrome Browser Extensions. The
extensions make research and recording information faster and more
accurate.
- WebClipper – Copy records and source citations quickly and automatically into your family tree from major genealogy websites such as Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and more. It adds records to entire families at once.
- ToDo Creator – Save search ideas for later by attaching action items to specific people in your family tree, adding them to research logs, and marking them complete when done.
RootsFinder also has tools that make it easy to share your genealogy with your family safely and securely:
- Invite others to your tree, but you control who edits
- Ancestor reports with stories and pictures can be turned into family history books
- Descendancy reports in the register format
- Videos & photo mosaics created from your media
- Fan charts and wall charts
- Pinterest-like media wall for scrolling through photos
Two plans are available: an ad-supported
Free-Forever plan, and a $35/year Pro plan that removes ads and includes
additional storage and advanced features. Everyone gets a 30-day Pro
plan for free.
A small group of dedicated
genealogists and software developers have been working on RootsFinder
for the past three years. Our goal is to provide a free online family
tree that is focused on the needs of the genealogy researcher. We think
we finally have something worth talking about. – Dallan Quass
