YourFolks.com's database contains
Each marriage has a family record (spouses, parents, former and future spouses, children who have married) and allows you to go back in time via hyperlinks
Each obituary identifies family kinship at the time of death and allows finding these people in YourFolks.com
YourFolks.com has been developed in accordance with the best practices in the area of genealogical databases.
The data comes from reputable sources and has been subject to unparalleled quality control in genealogical databases of this scale on the Internet.
Several samples from our database were thoroughly checked to assess their quality. It turned out that YourFolks.com contains very few errors and that the links it presents between the various families are generally accurate. In fact, less than 1% of families were given a marriage that did not belong to them.
So you have a very reliable source of genealogical data!
YourFolks.com offers you the opportunity to print your genealogy for free at home or to order a poster on high quality paper with a design made by professionals. Family books are also available.
To use this service, click on 
in the toolbar of your family tree. You will be offered a preview first, then you can either print it for free at home or ask us send it to you in PDF to print it on large-format high-quality paper.
With the professional genealogy service, our experts make your genealogy according to the products offered. You will receive it a few weeks after payment in two versions. One in digital on the Internet. The other either in a PDF file or printed on high-quality paper ready to frame.
The genealogical information sought by our experts will include: the first and last name of the ancestors, the date and place of their marriage, the name and surname of their spouse. Only the ancestors of the subject are present. This means that neither the children of the subject, nor his marriage, nor the brothers and sisters of his ancestors will appear there.
You can request that YourFolks.com provide you with a short text on the history of the first ancestor in America and the origin of the surname. Different types of products are available and we guarantee a minimum number of ancestors for each product.
The research is done according to the rules of the art, and with the best sources available.
Most of the research focuses on North America, but we will do limited research in Western Europe. For any applications for Indian status, refer you to the appropriate authorities. The only information provided in a genealogy made by YourFolks.com that can give an idea of a person's origin is the place of marriage and his/her name.
