Ancestry Family Tree
As predicted in last week’s newsletter, Ancestry.com has just launched a new service. It is called Ancestry Family Tree. I have used Ancestry Family Tree a bit and had some successes with it that I will describe later. First, here is the press release from Ancestry.com:

Free downloads now available at Ancestry.com: aft.ancestry.com

Ancestry.com has just announced the launch of a new service for family historians that combines the personalization and ease of family tree software with the depth, speed, and power of the Internet. Ancestry Family Tree (AFT) is an innovative combination of tools that opens a whole new world of discovery and possibilities!

With Ancestry Family Tree You Can:

    • Organize all your family history information in one convenient gathering place.
    • Zero in on your ancestors in Ancestry.com's valuable databases as they are entered (or downloaded) into the family tree software with the software's powerful search tool.
    • Ancestry World Tree files are also automatically searched and once located and verified, whole branches of your family tree can be automatically imported into your tree.
    • Attach important files, documents, even photos to your online tree, making a comprehensive history your family will cherish.
    • Easily share your family tree with other family members around the world via the Internet, and collaborate online!

The software is very intuitive and easy to use. Here's how it works:

    1. Members can download the software FREE at Ancestry.com.
    2. Enter a name to start with, in the space provided in the software's simple interface. For increased results, add parents' names as well.
    3. Once you've entered this beginning data, Ancestry Family Tree immediately begins searching more than 1.2 billion records at Ancestry.com and returns likely matches for each. Results are ranked for accuracy, so it's easy to find the right data.

Ancestry.com is also launching a new membership option to allow Ancestry Family Tree users to view search results directly from the software. All paying Ancestry.com subscribers automatically receive membership benefits to allow this functionality.

Memberships are available to non-subscribers for only $19.95. This unique membership will allow users to view and import Ancestry World Tree search results directly into Ancestry Family Tree. The membership also comes with 14 days of access to our subscription databases and a $20 discount for members who decide to become annual subscribers. Finally, new members will also be able to create a premium site on MyFamily.com ($19.95 value).

There's never been a better way to do your genealogy online. When you subscribe to Ancestry.com, you can access over a billion searchable records-and now you can download Ancestry Family Tree software FREE.
