Monthly Meeting (Meetings / Programs / Seminars)

Del Ritchhart will speak on the topics of My Heritage and Family Tree Builder.

MyHeritage is a Genealogical Web Site, very similar to Ancestry.com, where you can post your family tree, conduct searches of their data base of 6.1 billion records from 32 countries, 1.5 billion family trees, and 100 million tombstone inscriptions & photos.  The site can be viewed in 40 languages.  Within the past couple years they have entered into partnerships with Family Search, Billion Graves and also acquired GENI.COM, and World Vital Records/Family Link.

Family Tree Builder (FTB) is personal Genealogy software which you load onto your computer for maintaining, researching, and managing your family tree.  You can also sync your family tree between FTB and MyHeritage.  The relationship between MyHeritage and FTB is very similar to that between Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker.  My presentation will discuss and demonstrate the features and capabilities of both programs.
