What has OneGreatFamily concluded from our recent survey?


We’d like to thank all of you who responded to our recent survey! By analyzing your responses, we can see what your greatest needs and interests are and we are now developing ideas that will meet those needs.

We will be sharing more results with you as we work our way through your answers, but we thought we’d start now by sharing the results of two key questions.

The first was, “What do you like most about OneGreatFamily?” This was a written response question, so we got a lot of great insights. Here are a few that seem representative:

* It makes a difficult thing like genealogy EASY - even for someone like myself!
* I like when I am adding new family members and that box pops up and says families have merged and it finishes filling in the blanks.
* Searches are easy and fruitful
* The fact that I was able to store my grandmother's Book of Remembrance under her name for all my numerous cousins to also enjoy.
* I like the fact that you are searching for my relatives all the time even when I am not online.

It was heartwarming to us that so many of your responses matched what we have always considered the strengths of OneGreatFamily.

Your kind remarks are appreciated, but often what makes us stronger is constructive criticism. So the second question we’ll share with you today is, “What do you like least about OneGreatFamily?” This also was a written response question, and again we got a lot of helpful feedback. The following comments highlight the number one concern expressed:

* That your services are not free.
* You have to pay for it.
* Cost - I'm cheap
* It costs.
* It costs money
* having to pay
* I don't like paying for information I've supplied.
* It costs to do research

We appreciate the sentiment behind these comments, and we know that you make great sacrifices of your time and means to do this work. We are also aware that many of you are retired or otherwise living on a fixed income. We share your sentiment that it would be wonderful if we could offer OneGreatFamily for free, but naturally there are costs inherent in running any kind of service company.

Your subscription fees pay for the computers that do the 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, 52-weeks a year searching that we do on your behalf and the storage necessary to hold everyone’s family tree information – not to mention the building those computers sit in, electricity to run them and people to maintain and upgrade them as more of you contribute additional information. Internet costs and equipment add to the expense.

We are committed to keeping the costs of OneGreatFamily as low as possible. And we believe that at a cost of only $75 per year, OneGreatFamily truly represents the best service at the best price available to help you grow your family tree.

Your responses have greatly helped OneGreatFamily find ways to better serve your needs. We thank you again for participating in our online survey.
