HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GENEALOGY SERVICES
Six important differences between OneGreatFamily and other online family tree collections
1.
OneGreatFamily automatically merges two family trees together into one when it finds the exact same person in both.
2.
OneGreatFamily identifies and eliminates all duplicated data within our family tree automati-cally through our exclusive technology.
3.
OneGreatFamily searches 24-hours a day for you, comparing every person you’ve added against everybody else in the tree to see if they are the same person.
4.
OneGreatFamily searches utilizing our patent-pending Genealogy Handprint™ technology.
5.
OneGreatFamily preserves everybody's unique view of our universal family tree.
6.
OneGreatFamily automatically identifies those places in your family tree where other people have information different from yours and helps you zoom in and resolve those differences quickly and easily.

The Three Types of Online Family Trees:
A Collection of Family Trees
Examples:
World Family Tree Ancestry Family Tree GenCircles
description:
Each submitted tree is maintained separately and distinctly from other trees in the collection. You can manually search for your ancestors in the trees in the collection. If you find an ancestor, you must download the tree and merge it into your tree using PC software.
pros/cons:
You do all the searching and merging work yourself. Sometimes older versions of a newly submitted tree are still present.
Linked Family Trees
Examples:
Ancestry
OneWorldConnect(sm)
description:
Each submitted tree is maintained separate from the other trees in the collection, but links are formed between apparently identical people. Links may lead to other family trees or proprietary genealogy content.
pros/cons:
Because trees aren’t automatically merged, you have to review and accept even completely obvious matches. Links sometimes require an additional paid subscription.
Internet-Based Collective Family Tree
Examples:
OneGreatFamily
description:
Everybody works on one single on-line family tree, but each user maintains a unique view of how his or her family lines connect into the single on-line family tree. All duplication is automatically eliminated. System automatically searches for new connec-tions and ancestors for you, and automatically merges them for you.
pros/cons:
Only one in the world. Greatly reduces tedious work and time spent, focusing you on key decisions. Full chaining occurs, so that tying into the core tree often results in tens of thousands of ancestors automatically added to your tree.
