FamilyTree with Tribal Pages 

Tribal pages

This is the software I found that is easy to use and it is free if you have less than 50 photos or use less than 10 MB of storage. Otherwise, you can upgrade for only $15 per year.

My eBay guide on photography

I wrote this guide to help take good digital pictures and I also included help on getting old photographs into digital form to upload into your family tree.

Success stories... 

• At a recent family gathering for the Holidays, a relative told me how my family tree site save the day for their son's homework assignment. He was asked to produce a family tree poster with photos and connections. This was the perfect solution.
• This Holiday season was the first time that some of the family members moved away to a distant city. Not all of us could get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. By posting group photos and videos of the events, we can still share this holiday with each other.
• The "Events" feature of Tribal Pages allows for quick viewing of birthdays in any given month. This will alert the users to see whose birthday is near and remind them to send a greeting.
• I found the Family Tree site is a good way to share family photos. Instead of sending Christmas photos that gets lost after the holidays, posting the photos on the website will preserve them going forward and let others share in the joy.
• I was able to get a family history document translated from Chinese to English recently. It contained some very interesting facts and myths about our ancestry. The author was my uncle who passed away a few years ago. I found this document recently in some of my old papers. It traced our family back to 5 generations.

Nathanville Hi I have a number of contacts with Tribal Page members, who prove to be a useful source of information. I have a luxury of having my own free 200 Mb web space with my ISP so my genealogy site on Nathanville has a lot of useful information. Posted April 26, 2007
