Genealogy Website Reviews

We think that Kindred Konnections is a great online genealogy service for those who simply wish to create a family tree and have no clue where to begin.

The user interface was fairly simple to browse through and you are given tons of options and features to take a gander at. For those who wish to begin building their family trees, excess amounts of information might make it a bit intimidating.

• Legacy 6.0 software-research your ancestral roots with this professional program.
• Social Security Death Index, Customized family tree charts, Ellis Island Genealogy

Star Reviews tends to favor websites that offer numerous features at a low price. We commend Kindred Konnections for catering to a genealogy-serious crowd, but really would have liked to see a free trial offered, as it's sometimes hard to get the hang of a site. There is a limited, free membership, but your access is very basic. A 10-day subscription is $7 and it's $15 for a month. This is pretty common for sites of their kind. Customer support can improve, as the FAQs are limited, but email support was on point. They earned themselves 5.0 Stars!

 Genealogy.com has a lot to offer those seeking their family’s deepest secrets or maybe just a curious individual who wants to design a family tree. There were a lot of resources available here, but we can see how an inexperienced Internet user might be intimidated, as they were pretty in-depth.

Overall, our team didn't encounter too many problems when navigating their website. If you aren't familiar to family tree terminology, it can be a little confusing. But, this site definitely provides enough resources and tools to make the process nearly painless.

• Celebrity Family Trees -You know you're dying to unearth Donald Trump's family history.
• Virtual Cemetery-Add, Edit, or Browse through burial information.

Star Reviews loves some of the features on Genealogy.com, such as the Learning Center and free genealogy classes. This site truly recognizes the niche-following and vitality of ancestry and worldwide familial roots. We discovered a really cool way of keeping track of your family tree, images, and data through the MyGenealogy.com feature. How convenient! Although prices are a tad higher than some of their compeitions' at $69.99 for a year, it is worth it for serious family tree creators. Customer support had long wait times through telephone and email support contradicted what they told us. So, all in all, they get 4.5 Stars!

We weren't awestruck by the Genealogy Today online genealogy service, but we did like some things like their audio podcasts, war ration indexes, funeral cards and criminal records. Many of their services are sponsored and provided by other family tree sites, like Ancestry, so pricing relies on outside sources.

We didn’t have too much trouble navigating the site, as it was pretty straightforward. However, finding pricing and contact information wasn’t the easiest.

• Adoption Articles -If you were adopted or know someone who was adopted, you will appreciate these.
• WWII Ration Book Index, Criminal Records, Funeral Cards

Star Reviews definitely noticed the unique and groundbreaking offerings that Genealogy Today offers site visitors. While most cannot be accessed unless you sign up for paid membership, it's nice to know the option is there if needed. We admired how self explanatory and user-friendly their website interface was with clearly categorized research tools, guides, and features clearly marked. Prices vary by product and service, but there is a family tree CD-rom for sale at $24.95. Customer support is great via email, but not so memorable by way of telephone or FAQs. They receive 4.0 Stars!
