Pedigree-linked data and the contact information of other people doing research on related family lines are key factors in their exponential approach to doing genealogy.
Find those Elusive Ancestors
Build your Family History with a Family Search from Birth Records, Marriage Records, Death Records, and - of course - Family Trees in the Ancestry Archive.
This database consists of pedigrees submitted by thousands of patrons from around the world, and the automatic indexing of other Internet genealogy sites, making MyTrees.com the first true genealogy search engine on the Internet.
MyTrees.com takes the content of the family genealogy database, known as a GEDCOM file, and matches the names and file information against a 47 million name archive. Found matches are listed as links to pedigrees submitted by other users. The viewer can then check these pedigrees to see how much of the data exactly matches the data being submitted and what additional names can be found. Each file found also lists the name of the submitter at the top of the screen and source notes at the bottom of the screen. They have found that this additional service helps families find one another and work together to further connect their family pedigrees.
This pedigree search tool saves hours of searching for genealogical data on other genealogy sites or in the library on a name-by-name basis.
