Introducing Place Pages, a Revolution in Online Genealogy

Have you ever wanted to go visit your ancestral homelands...stroll through the far away villages from whence your ancestors came? Have you had the opportunity of visiting and would love to share your photos and memories with your relatives who haven't yet been able to make the trip?

Well now you can, with Place Pages, a revolution in online genealogy!

Here's how it works:

These pages work the same way as "Ancestor Pages" in that once a page is created for any geographic locale, anybody else can add photos, histories, memories, etc.

This is a great way for those who haven't been able to travel to their ancestral hometowns to go on a virtual tour. Users can upload photos past and present, travel tips, tips for researching genealogy in these towns and countries, etc. - a great way to get to know where your roots are from!

For an example of a "Place Page" click here. To create your own "Place Page" click on "Place Page" under "Create" on the navigation bar at LivingGenealogy.com.

You can also browse places that have already been created using the "Browse Place Pages" link at the top left of the navigation bar.

As always, we'd love to hear what you think and any suggestions you have for improving the site. Thanks again for your feedback and for helping to build the largest genealogy community on the Internet!
