Publish Your Genealogy Online
Description
After putting many years and a lot of effort into family research, many genealogists consider ways to share their work with family, colleagues, and even the world, using the newest technologies available. There are several choices for publishing a genealogy on the Internet, or even on a CD or DVD, some of which may appear daunting at first. Sharing genealogy data today is easier than many realize. This lecture will discuss the fundamentals of publishing family data to a website, whether it is done through a big-name genealogy site, or by using genealogy software and a personal domain.
We will explore options for appearance, access, costs, and privacy issues. Even without a computer-based genealogy program, there are some reasonable alternatives for placing a genealogy online. Whether you use a PC or a Mac, or even a public computer at your local library, you have choices for software, online access, and the final presentation. We’ll also review additional important considerations like degree of interaction, multimedia, and sources.
Although the process may seem intimidating, after we work through each of the steps and explore the various options, the adventure into publishing an online genealogy will enter the realm of possibilities.
