They are also including capabilities to view places where your ancestors lived, connect with other people that are researching your family line, and connections with other genealogists that live in your ancestors locations who are willing to do look ups for your family. The authors of the FamilyLink state that there is going to be more features, but this will not be launched until this coming Friday, August 31st, 2007.

I have joined this site and have found a friend in Denmark who I have been able to help with her family that immigrated to the United States. She has also told me that she would be happy to help me with translations of documents that I find from Danish to English. As you can see, this site can be extremely valuable in assisting you in your research. If you are interested in checking this out, here to be directed to the create an account page for Family Link.
