Last Name History


Your last name history may seem like a difficult fossil to excavate, but a last name history is not as difficult to find as it used to be.  Today, for instance, Internet access and high capacity genealogical databases allow genealogists (and everyone else for that matter) to contribute last names and other information to large genealogical databases such as the OneGreatFamily database, which offers one of the largest combined family trees in the world.  After OneGreatFamily members contribute their names, they sit back and relax as OneGreatFamily connects them with others who may have clues regarding a specific member's last name history as well as other family tree connections.
  • Note: OneGreatFamily members contribute names from over 80 countries worldwide! This helps those who are looking for their last name history.

Meet and Collaborate
When it comes to genealogy and finding your last name history, two (or more) heads are definitely better than one.  With the OneGreatFamily database you can meet and collaborate with people from around the world.  This means that other people will actually be researching and updating information regarding your own ancestors and your ancestors' descendents!  Together OneGreatFamily members are building the original family tree!

Customer Satisfaction
Many OneGreatFamily customers are surprised to learn that with just a few names, OneGreatFamily can find literally thousands of connections.  Then, after reviewing the connections they feel are most worthwhile, they can sit back and relax while OneGreatFamily continually reviews new database information everyday, and all day long.  Finding your last name history has never been so easy!
