By Jim Ericson, VP of Marketing at OneGreatFamily

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? OneGreatFamily spent three years developing technology that automatically compares your family tree with the family trees that have been submitted by others. Where exact matches are found, the data are merged. Merges in OneGreatFamily create opportunities for people to collaborate on their genealogies, identify new ancestors, and discover conflicting information. As explained in past newsletters, OneGreatFamily's ability to preserve each person's view of the family tree is something that makes OneGreatFamily unique.

OneGreatFamily charges money for the added value the OneGreatFamily system provides in helping people around the world collaborate on one family tree This approach reduces duplication, makes identifying ancestors easier, and improves the ability of each member of OneGreatFamily to collaborate with others. OneGreatFamily provides each member of OneGreatFamily with complete access to the information they have submitted to the service. The Genealogy Browser allows anyone who is a subscriber or registered guest to edit or download their personal information.

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. Subscribers can also print wall charts and use a Genealogy Browser that does not display advertising.

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.
