"Amiglia is built by a family for families. Amiglia was founded by wife and husband Paul and Milena, and has been funded and developed with father Tim Berry.

Amiglia evolved out of a family photo site started by Tim and later perfected by Paul, which became a focal point for all the Berrys' family pictures and memories. Paul has 4 sisters and the brothers-in-law - not sharing the Berry name, did not upload photos on the Berry site.

Over time, with 2 of the sisters daughters married into different family names and grandchildren born, we realized we need a better way to share the newest photos with each other, as well as to unravel the oldest photos of common ancestors.

That's when we realized the collaborative potential of related, yet different photo albums.
Paul and Milena both sides of the families were the first to start using the site avidly, and it has spread through their families and beyond. Now we're able to offer it in beta to anyone."

The testimonials from well known companies such as about.com and Yahoo tech, is a great way to gain users’ confidence. Amiglia definitely has more features for a family tree site than any other family network I have seen. It is great that users can be connected to their social networks and Skype through Amiglia. Amiglia also has a very visually stimulating but clean interface. The family tree structure is simple but just by clicking on a photo you can get much more information and features. The calendar is a great feature because getting family members together can be a huge task.

Amiglia may have too many features and be a bit overwhelming for grandma and grandpa. There are other sites that include family timelines and more historic features, Amiglia may want to incorporate more f these types of features.
