Many association members have built up databases with a wealth of genealogical data. As an association, you can offer your members a platform via Genealogy Online for associations , where members can upload their data files (in GEDCOM form) in order to share their research results with the other members of the association.
It also allows to meet requests from older members who quit their hobby or relatives of deceased members who want to share their data with the association. Namely by placing the failed GEDCOM files as an association via Genealogy Online for associations .
Genealogy Online for associations basically uses the proven Genealogy Online platform. What is added is the possibility to restrict access to the publications to the members of the association. A protected environment is created within Genealogy Online, as it were, specifically for your association members and their data.
Do you, as an association, also want to offer your members the possibilities of Genealogy Online for associations ?
Contact us for information about costs and conditions.
An association member (of an association that offers Genealogy Online for associations to its members) who wants to publish on Genealogy Online must register in the regular way and log in to Genealogy Online.
The Genealogy Online user can indicate on the profile page that he/she is a member of the association. On this page the user is asked whether the association can be checked (based on the e-mail address with which he is logged in to Genealogy Online) whether he/she is a member. After confirmation, Genealogy Online queries the membership administration of the association ("Is the e-mail address ** in the membership administration (yes/no)?"). Genealogy Online does not store additional data such as membership number, except for the fact that someone is a member of the association. All this falls under the privacy policy as detailed on the privacy page of Coret Genealogie.
A user can upload a GEDCOM in the normal way to create a publication on Genealogy Online. The additional question is now being asked whether the publication may be made "public", or whether it may be "findable" by everyone, or whether it should only be made accessible to association members. The management of the publications is otherwise the same as for non-association members. If an association member already has one or more publications on Genealogy Online, these can be moved from the public to the association members area.
Upon registration, a user will automatically receive a Trial Subscription with associated capabilities as set forth on the subscription page. A notable limitation of the Try subscription is that only one publication can be created. This corresponds to one GEDCOM file, the number of persons/families within this GEDCOM file is not limited. If a user wants to upload several GEDCOM files and also more starting points, images, stories, configuration options and the like, the user can purchase a Plus subscription of € 48,- per year.
Association members automatically receive a 15% discount with a new subscription (or renewal of their subscription)!
A publication that is only accessible to association members has the following restrictions:
Publications of association members are shown on an association page on Genealogy Online. This includes a search function to search people within publications in the private association section and an index to all publications that link to the home page of the relevant publication. This list of publications is also available in machine readable format (JSON/XML) so that the current list of association members' family trees can be automatically displayed on the association website.
The collections of associations pages are public. Only when the search function is used or a publication is opened will it be checked whether this is allowed by the author (read: the publishing association member). If someone is not logged in, you will be prompted to log in. If someone is logged in but not an association member, the message will be shown that access is reserved for members of the relevant association with instructions on how to set this up on Genealogy Online or how to become a member of the relevant association.
The participating association can create a page on the closed section of its own website with a time-bound, encrypted link to the association section on Genealogy Online. Via this link, the association member (for Genealogy Online anonymously) gets read access to the association section on Genealogy Online.
Does your association not yet offer its members Genealogy Online for associations and would you appreciate that?
