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.
Sites of important family events are easily pinpointed by adding custom markers automatically tied to the genealogy data. Markers can be based on specific people and events, or on your entire family tree, making it easy to see migrations and clusters in family data.

Writer's Summit Tip #35:

Intellectual property can only be transferred in writing, so get it in writing. A handshake will not suffice, payment is not enough, the written agreement is required!!!
And that is true - even with family - especically with family members who 'do you a favor'. You still have to get it in writing if you want to own the creative rights!

Writer's Summit Tip #38:
Your web presence needs to begin NOW - it doesn't matter what stage your book is in. If you are an author, especially if your book is not published yet, you need web presence that 1. establishes you in your niche, 2. compares you to others already selling similar books to your customers 3. creates a demand for your book and gives you a way to collect e-mail addresses and presale commitments. Check out the FORESITE website information to understand this more fully. Whether you use this exact system or not, create a website that fulfills all of the above 3 requirements and you'll launch your book to much greater success!
