| When researching your family history, have you
ever come to a point that you could not go beyond
because information was not available about that
particular branch of your tree? Or perhaps you
have come across hypothetical links to the next
generation of grandfathers only to find unusual
dates or a lack of definitive documentation that
proves that link. The mystery of filling the gap
left by inaccurate information or finding a dead
end compels us to make costly efforts in time and
money searching for the answer. AncestryBank
allows users to reach a large audience of
professional genealogists, enthusiasts, and family
researchers by posting their specific objective
and placing a cap on the amount they are willing
to pay for definitive proof of that objective. |
|
|
| Hiring professional genealogists can be costly.
However, many possess a wealth of experience and
information. Perhaps they came across the answer
to your problem while researching other projects.
Rather than being subject to an hourly rate that
may or may not produce results, offer an award for
the proof that answers the particular question you
have. By opening up a post to many users, you give
everyone from the random interested web browser to
professional genealogists a chance to gain from
the information and research that is already at
their disposal. |

|
| Several advantages occur when using AncestryBank's services. First, by filling out a
simple form, posters can allow others to easily
search a database that, upon clicking on the link
to the surname of interest, pulls up a screen that
presents the objective as well as the facts and
possibilities that the poster has already learned.
Stating the facts (e.g. John Smith was born in
1778) and the possibilities (e.g. His parents
might have come on the ship “Supply”), the poster
filters out information that he or she already
knows, while providing a more advanced starting
point that others can use. Second, anyone that has
the same interest in solving the original poster’s
objective can add to the award amount. We
encourage people to contact others interested in
the same family history problem to go to the site,
increase the award by an amount they are
comfortable with, and entice web viewers to work
harder towards solving their objective. Lastly,
manage the progress of your post. Posting is completely free! |

updates. If you too are having trouble answering a
client’s question, take advantage of the service
and post the problem. You might find it is a lot
easier for the genealogist or enthusiast in
Scotland to answer a difficult question than it is
for you to find the information in America. |

|
|
| To search the posts is 100% free. Users that would
like to post their specific objective may use the
simple form provided on this site. |
|
|
| AncestryBank's goal is to have your
objectives accomplished. By posting an award
amount and agreeing to the terms of use, the
poster agrees to pay the award to the provider of
information. AncestryBank and the poster must
agree to the proof before the award is given. |
