POSTING YOUR FAMILY TREE ONLINE

The O’Mahony Society does not post family trees online. We recommend the following strategy to our members to best use our website to increase their likelihood of contact by others researching ANY of their family ancestors:

1) Post your ENTIRE family tree online on Rootsweb at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

2) Use our members’ Queries & Postings web page to provide your basic O’Mahony ancestry information, email contact and the link to your posted family tree. For an example, see the first posting in our Queries & Postings.

Posting your entire family tree at this Rootsweb site provides the following advantages:

• Totally free
• One of the oldest and best known family tree posting sites
• Provides opportunity for contact by others searching for any branch of your family, not just your O’Mahony ancestors.

You can also post your family tree at additional websites like the subscription sites Genes Reunited (popular for Ireland, Scotland and UK family trees with a modest annual fee) and Ancestry.com (largest subscription family history/genealogy web site). Be aware that posting on Ancestry.com (which hosts the free Rootsweb site) is a distinctly separate tree posting; if you do not maintain your subscription, you will lose the connection feature which allows you to connect to others with trees posted on their site.
