Here's the press release:
TEL AVIV, Israel & LEHI, Utah-- MyHeritage, the
fastest-growing destination for discovering, preserving and sharing
family history, launched PedigreeMap™ today — an innovative way to
visualize family history, optimized for tablet devices. PedigreeMap™
displays all events in a user’s family tree, such as births, marriages
and deaths, as well as digital photos and scanned historical photos, on
an interactive map. This allows users to trace the locations of their
ancestors and gain new insights into their lives. All data is grouped by
country and location, and users can easily filter their view of the map
by person, family group, event type, and time period.PedigreeMap™ comes with additional features such as place name standardization to improve data quality, and Heatmaps that showcase which geographic areas have a high concentration of activity in the user's family history.
“MyHeritage is the family history technology leader. We’re constantly developing new ways to give people insights about their family history," said Uri Gonen, Senior VP of Product Management at MyHeritage. “The first release of PedigreeMap™ helps people understand the life journeys of their ancestors, and we have interesting and original ideas lined up for the next releases.”
PedigreeMap™ is free for all users. To access it, log in to your account on MyHeritage or create a new account for free, then select PedigreeMap™ in the “Apps” menu.
