Website Review - Dynastree.com.jpg)
As the owner/admin of FreeGEN and a long-time user of their website and software, I was asked by Dynastree.com to write a review. I am receiving no form of incentive to write this review and I am not affiliated to them in any way. All of my opinions about this website are impartial and I hope I will be able to give you some insights into Dynastree.com and what it can offer you as a genealogist.
What is Dynastree.com? In a nutshell it is a genealogy community encouraging families, relations and friends to collaborate on producing a tree with a common goal. Dynastree also helps family members keep in touch through messages, calendars, and photos.
My first impression from looking at Dynastree was how bright and colourful everything is which gives it a really fresh and fun feel and for me made it very appealing.

 The IPS Digitisation project
What is the digitisation project ?
In 2005, Siemens IT Solutions were awarded a three year contract to undertake the digitisation of birth, death and marriage records for England and Wales from 1837 to 2006. The Siemens contract expired and was not renewed in July 2008. At that point the Digitisation of Vital Events (DoVE) project was closed, as was the MAGPIE project which was intended to provide online access to the digitised indexes. The work has been in a "pause and review" stage since July 2008.

| Suffragettes Christabel Pankhurst (right) with Annie Kenny, 1906 (Image reference: COPY 1/494) |
Files uncovered at The National Archives shed new light on the hardships some women endured in their fight for the vote 100 years ago.
The two Home Office files date from late 1909 but only came to light during a recent cataloguing project. They relate to the arrest of nine suffragettes, and their subsequent imprisonment in Winson Green Prison, Birmingham. |

Looking for records of a person? (Catalogue reference: COPY 1/454)
|
The National Archives has launched a set of more than 60 'research signposts' on Looking for records of a person, to simplify the process of researching an ancestor.
Each signpost takes a single topic - for example the census, railway workers or the Indian Army. The short, clearly written guide points you to the most useful resources, whether these are online or original documents, held at The National Archives or elsewhere.
