I recently has an opportunity to interview Nick Francis of Ancestral Atlas, a brand-new site that adds geographical information to your genealogy data. The service is unique and I think it is fascinating. I have become a fan of Ancestral Atlas service in the few weeks that it has been live.
During the interview in late February, Nick promised that GEDCOM import capability would be added "real soon now." As he predicted, GEDCOM upload has been added and is now available for all Ancestral Atlas users.
Mapping and sharing your family history is now even easier with the new GEDCOM upload facility. You can first use your favorite genealogy program to export your database in GEDCOM format. You then go to http://www.ancestralatlas.com and upload your GEDCOM data, confirm your locations, and you’re done.
Registration for Ancestral Atlas is available free of charge but the company does charge for some of the more advanced features. In fact, the service will even pay you money if you have entered information that is of value to others. I'd suggest that you first experiment with the free services until you become familiar with the service.
Ancestral Atlas supports locations anywhere in the world.
