We have just deployed a brand-new version of dynastree! A wide range of minor, and, well, major bugs has been fixed, and we have also added some interesting new features. All category 1 features from the list created from your suggestions were added, except for the chat. You can find that list here.
We will be elaborating on the new features over the next few days, and you can find an overview below:
View-only invitations:
- Premium users can now invite people as view-only guests to their family tree. Such users can then view the whole family tree without being able to edit it, and no further persons can be invited by view-only users.
Flippable profile cards:
- More information is now displayed on the profile cards, such as partner, anniversary, date of death or burial, and much more.
Date of funeral
- There is a new field in the profiles for adding the date of the funeral.
Baptistery
- There is now a now field in the profiles for adding the baptistery.
Add custom events
- You can now add whatever event you like to a profile, should you not find what you are looking for in the fields we provided.
Name day
- The name day can be added to a profile, and it is also added to the calender. A reminder can be set as well.
Online/offline display
- A new display on your homepage shows who is currently viewing or editing the tree.
Kekulè number
- The Kekulè number, a genealogical standard number for labeling different generations, is now displayed, starting from one’s own profile.

Web profiles
- A lot of new social networks like Facebook or MySpace can now be added under “Contacts” in one’s profile.
