So, what is FamilyGen, and what can you do for
me?
Are you the 'historian' in your family? Have
you been wondering if there is a more convenient way to share your family's
history and lineage with the rest of your family than printing out and
mailing sheaves of paper?
We wondered about that ourselves. After looking
at what was currently available on the Internet, and not finding anything
that we really liked, we decided to provide a service using our own
designs.
We originally intended to build Web sites to showcase
genealogy work, but decided to put our format into e-books instead. We
think that our design is the most pleasing to look at and the easiest to
navigate of any other design available anywhere. You can distribute
your e-book to as many folks as you wish for no additional charge. We
only charge each time we update your book for re-distribution.
The e-book is great for relatives who do not have access
to the Internet, and perhaps don't want to. It is built from a file
saved in the GEDCOM format
from whatever genealogy program you use and displays information similar
to the way your genealogy program does. The difference is that your
family members do not need to buy a genealogy program to view your work
- you can distribute the e-book as freely as you wish. Learn more
about this by clicking on 'E-Books' in the navigation panel.
