iFamily.bz - Facebook For Your Family

Family Tree is one of the newest applications for the online social network Facebook, largely funded by CountryRoad Capital LLC. This application allows you to create your family tree on Facebook, and display your family heritage and favorite relatives on your profile. Adding a member to your family tree is simple, fill in their relevant information or add one of your family members that already have a profile on Facebook. Other users cannot see your family tree which gives you privacy but will deter possible family discoveries such as a long lost second cousin you might have on Facebook.

“iFamily is a Facebook application developer focused on building family-oriented applications within Facebook and other social networks. The iFamily flagship product, Family Tree, is the leading social genealogy application on Facebook today.”

The application iFamily was launched in June, 2007, since then Family Tree has recorded more than 62,000 family tree profiles. The application is quite popular and helps you keep in touch with family members.

Family trees cannot be seen by other Facebook users, which some may prefer, but the best situation would be to let each user set their privacy settings. It would be great to be able to see other family trees and make connections. It’s not a unique application, how will it deal with competitors who offer more features?
