PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 29, 2007 -
Hamburg, 26/11/2007 - With itsourtree.com (www.itsourtree.com), the family network for online family trees has been launched in English. A huge interest in the European countries shows a trend concerning family trees and genealogy on the internet. The pan-European service is the Germany’s community of the year and the fastest-growing German Social Network.

Itsourtree.com’s concept is simple: Due to our easy-to-use interface, you can create your own family tree with a few clicks completely free of charge. Relatives can be invited automatically via email and after registering look at their tree or participate in the building process. This way, a family network can be build up all around your family tree.

There are various possibilities for active users to add information on living or deceased relatives such as photos, birth places or hobbies. All information in the family trees is only visible to family members that have been invited previously.

Christian Richtscheid, Manager in charge of the international website, explains: “In most countries, the family is the core of society. This fact, in connection with English as the world language, opens an extremely wide-spread target group all over the world.”

Itsourtree.com is available in English, Italian, Portuguese, German and Spanish so far. This internationality allows the creation of multinational family trees across language barriers. If family members already have a family tree on their PC, they can easily import their data completely free of charge.
