HistoryPin allows you to create collections (aka, by Surname) and tours (chronologies), and allows you to embed those on to another website -- such as a family history website or blog.<br /><br />However, HistoryPin does require that you actually pin a digital object (photo, video, audio, document, etc.) rather than just an event.<br /><br />-- Colleen Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201192735038020976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-53465491989404824702012-08-04T00:29:52.150-04:002012-08-04T00:29:52.150-04:00Lorine, I just want to comment to your readers who...Lorine, I just want to comment to your readers who are requesting different maps/pins etc to track different branches of family members... we are creating this as we speak! It's been on our list since so many genealogy enthusiastic began using the site and telling us it would be beneficial. We have attempted to prioritize items and the custom mapping is the NEXT big feature to roll out.

Might be able to use this service to aid in doing that.<br />FTM is limited in its mapping to an individual's movement and not being able to create an ever widening circle as ancestors move about.Bernie Hornunghttp://haushornung.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.com
