An overview of what Artisticancestry.com is all about.




Artisticancestry.com has been created to pull family history off of the dusty shelves of genealogists and grandparents, and to bring it to life with color, stories and history. In the beginning aa.com was to be used on both iPhones and iPads, but the recent changes to iPhone technology has crashed that plan and the new standard for viewing eBooks will have to be met. This is why, until aa.com has generated enough income to have these codes and artwork created Artisticancestry.com will download eBooks only to iPads at this time.

In order to begin using Artisticancestry.com you will need a Gedcom file of your family tree; this can be created or downloaded from either ancestry.com (a subscription site) or from familysearch.org (a free use site). Please save yourselves time and grief by checking for duplicates before downloading your Gedcom!

(Gedcom is an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunication) Because Gedcom's are not created with a standard format only those Gedcoms created at these two sites can be used at this time. 

For full usage and guideline information please to the bottom of the home page and click the links in the footer.

When an eBook has been finished, the Owner/creator buys a download of the eBook to be sent to email accounts of those they wish to share their eBook with. Then a link with instructions, with passwords, will be sent to the recipient so they can view their interactive eBook through Artisticancestry.com

Artisticancestry.com is not a research site and does not allow research to be conducted; it is the only online site that combines family history with basic scrap-booking. Just as with a printed book, once an eBook has been shared it is a fixed commodity and can not be changed or updated. Neither can family histories be updated on site; to update you must do so wherever you have created your Family tree.

 When the Author (You) wishes to make another eBook they can do so for as long as their subscription is current. There is no cost involved in the assembly of your eBook, only on the registration/subscription and each download.

For the purpose of making Artisticancestry.com  available to everyone the costs for eBooks and subscriptions have been kept as minimal as possible:

· The first 72 hours after registering on Artisticancestry.com is absolutelyFree. 
· 24 hour subscription is $3.95.
· 3 month subscription is $9.99.
· Yearly subscription is $39.99.
Please use your free 72 hours to upload your gedcom files, photos, videos, audios, PDFs and documents. Photos can be uploaded by 'drag and drop', all other files are best uploaded using the 'Add files' button.

I hope you enjoy Artisticancestry.com and it becomes the next best website to use for family history sharing since the creation of the internet, so please tell your friends and share this message with all your friends and acquaintances. I'm counting on you!

Sincerely, Cristina Besendorfer
