Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom, 06/24/2008 - A new software package entitled "Map My Ancestors" aims to link the world of Genealogy with the powerful mapping capabilities of Google Earth.

The Map My Ancestors software endeavours to bring the Family Tree to a wider audience by integrating it with the popular and powerful Google Earth mapping program.
Where previously Family Historians had to rely on static charts and listings to grab the interest of their relations, they can now use the dynamic views of Google Earth. Additionally, users may find that this new geographic view of their family tree may highlight connections they had not previously considered or may indicate areas for further research.
Map My Ancestors enables users, who have exported their family tree from their favourite editing program in the industry standard GEDCOM format, to automatically read and identify places from their tree.
A unique feature allows the user to view ratings for the locations which will help them to identify and correct any errors in the automatically assigned locations. Locations that have been corrected are remembered in an internal database so that the user doesn’t need to repeat the process next time a revised GEDCOM file is imported.
Map My Ancestors can also save the resulting geographic data in KMZ or KML format, ready to be emailed or published on a website – enabling other relations or friends to view the data in Google Earth without any other Family Tree software.
Since Map My Ancestors uses the online Yahoo Geocoding technology to locate places it has been possible to keep download sizes small enabling a trial version to be made available.
