FamilyAtlas lets users create custom family maps based on their own genealogy data.
FamilyAtlas users view their family information on an interactive world map (either spherical or flat), and can zoom in or out to see additional detail like state and county boundaries.
FamilyAtlas directly imports data from popular genealogy software including RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, PAF, Legacy and GEDCOM. Places are automatically geo-coded by matching them against the 3.5 million name world place database included with FamilyAtlas.

Only your most pertinent qualifications will surface to the top of your bio if you answer the above question.
