You can now add whatever event you like to a profile, should you not find what you are looking for in the fields we provided.

A new display on your homepage shows who is currently viewing or editing the tree.

The Kekulè number, a genealogical standard number for labeling different generations, is now displayed, starting from one’s own profile.

New logoff page with all surname maps

All available surname maps are now displayed after you have logged off, and you can search for any name anywhere via the select box.

Web profiles ( I like this one, I have started to make surname pages on my blog, and wanted to way to make connection to pretty much all available information for that person when you click the name. I can have it link here and add all extra contacts like (Footnote, Facebook I Remember, SSDI. ect)

A lot of new social networks like Facebook or MySpace can now be added under “Contacts” in one’s profile.

Accents in the search

Accents are now ignored by the search function to provide a wider range of results.
