  •  What's New?: Welcome to Family History Month

    What is National Family History Month?

    For the past three years, the United States Senate officially recognized October as National Family History Month, a time "to encourage family history research, education, and the sharing of knowledge."

    President George W. Bush, in signing a Proclamation in support of Family History Month in 2003, said, "Lessons in family lineage are often lessons in courage, endurance, and love. While tracing our roots can be challenging, the rewards can be great - affirming our pride in our history and keeping us mindful of the sacrifices of our forbears."

    We at OneGreatFamily also wish to echo those sentiments by encouraging everyone to spend time this month in pursuing the discovery of their personal roots as a gift to future generations.

    Join OneGreatFamily in celebrating Family History Month by taking advantage of huge savings when you subscribe to this remarkable service.

     Technical Support: How to View a descendancy

    How do I view or export an ancestor's descendancy?

    The ability to view the descendants of an ancestor is a powerful and valuable feature of OneGreatFamily. A descendancy view can help researchers identify collateral lines to research or can lead to the discovery of living relatives who have descended from a common ancestor.

    Viewing the descendants of any ancestor is easy using the Genealogy Browser:
    1. Launch Genealogy Browser and find the desired ancestor in the pedigree (Starfield View)
    2. Select the desired ancestor within the pedigree (Starfield View) by clicking on the box with the individual's name
    3. Click on the descendancy icon in the toolbar OR select View descendancy from the View menu within Genealogy Browser
    4. The descendants of the selected ancestor will now appear to the left of the pedigree (Starfield View). Navigating in the Starfield View will often be slower when viewing descendants because of the number of descendants.

    We hope you will find OneGreatFamily a useful tool to trace the descendants of your ancestors.

     Success: Genealogy will never be the same!
    Good Morning,

    First off I must let you know what I think of your site. I and my family think it is inspired, and it has done so much for our research!!! Genealogy will NEVER be the same. Fifty years ago my father struggled greatly for years to compile six to nine generations . . . all his hard work is the basis for the 171 generations we now show in our pedigree at OneGreatFamily.

    Best Wishes
    James G. Hastings
