The Queen series on Netflix has attracted a lot of worldwide interest in our British Royal Family. So specially for Christmas my Forebears app now has the royal family tree set up for you to play with over mince pies! Enjoy ;-) https://t.co/13No3Sj6oY
The radio silence from #4Bears means we’ve been busy. Our customers have been asking for some new photo library tools in our #FamilyHistory app and that’s what we’ve been building! By the way, if you have an iPhone or iPad and are into #Genealogy check-out 4Bears on the AppStore
@LorraineWhale Lorraine I could make your Teddy famous. In my #4Bears app there’s a little Teddy Bear family tree for kids to learn about family history. May I add Michael?

Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground - Faculty of Divinity 50 Treasures. This beautiful old burial ground is 100 yards from my front door. It would be an interesting challenge to show all the family connections amongst these famous people! #genealogy https://t.co/QCO2fNaX3a
@DanielGenealogy School is precisely the right place to use the App! No seriously. If you mean you’re a teacher, I’ve designed #4Bears to link to history lessons as well as family history. Some quite unique features. For a short time it’s free whilst I work out a pricing strategy #history
@DLGenealogist Well David, my great aunt Nora (born 1905 in London, England) had the middle name ‘Roosevelt’. And it wasn’t her mother’s maiden name. So I guess she was named after Teddy!
We’ve been listening to our users feedback and are busy expanding the photos capabilities of #4Bears . The new release will save high definition images in your Photos App under your control. Unlike other genealogy apps we don’t charge a subscription! #familyhistory#Genealogy
Most modern family history apps let you import and store photos. Some do it better than others. What would be your criteria for the perfect in-app photo archive? #genealogy#FamilyHistory
@red_scotland Fantastic achievement. I married a McEvoy so her family is probably in there somewhere (mixture of Scots and Irish). No I understand the only way to parse such a large Word document is digitally. I’m up for trying that on a small sample. Shall we chat? [email protected]
@red_scotland Apologies for short reply! Do you want a call to discuss? Questions on the top of my mind are (1) how many people in the dataset? (2) what type of database are you using? Thanks!
@red_scotland The standard data file format to exchange family history information between apps is GEDCOM. All the popular family history apps worldwide can import and export GEDCOM files. If you’d like help (free of charge) to generate a GEDCOM file from your data I’m happy to help?
4Bears - the family history app for iPhone and iPad let’s you carry even the largest #genealogy database around in your pocket. Here’s one that used to live on a desktop computer before our user downloaded 4Bears.

@kka_genealogy @gone_family I couldn’t agree more Katherine. I enjoyed family history as a teenager. My father’s family came from No-Man’s-Heath in Staffs. I was thrilled to find a 1780s baptism record in the old Register of the village church. 30 years later I saw the same record online! #familyhistory
One of the features we built into 4Bears is the ‘target-finding’ feature. Choose your target person and 4Bears will show the shortest path from anyone else to that person. Queen Victoria to King Henry I in 24 steps anyone? #History#4Bears
