Review in detail
Genealogie Online is a Dutch website where genealogists publish family trees. The disclaimer states it is a website of Coret Genealogie, KvK number 50518607, located in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague). The homepage counts 13 thousand publications, 90.4 million persons and 1.5 million images.
Genealogie Online is a tree-publishing site, not an Ancestry-style record vault. Genealogie Online links trees to scans of civil records and has a sister site, Open Archives, for record search. Users who leave Ancestry mainly for the online tree and the hints from other trees find the closest match here.
What does Genealogie Online cost and what do you get for free?
Genealogie Online has a free Basis plan and a Plus plan at EUR 52 per year (EUR 4.33 per month). The pricing page says Plus can be cancelled at any time and that data stays stored afterwards.
Basis lets you publish one tree, show up to three startpoints, and attach up to 250 photos and documents. Plus removes those limits and adds all available sources, a PDF quarter table and an own look for publication and reports.
How does Genealogie Online handle living people?
Genealogie Online states that data of living people is not published without their consent, referring to the AVG (the Dutch name of the GDPR). The author can set an access gate and invite named people.
The privacy page shows that publication of living persons is allowed within the AVG for an identifiable group of relatives, acquaintances or friends. Genealogie Online does not state a server location on the pages we read.
What are the limits of Genealogie Online compared with Ancestry?
Genealogie Online publishes user-contributed trees, so the quality of a clue depends on the author of the other tree. Genealogie Online also has no DNA test and no own record collection of Ancestry's size.
Coret Genealogie also offers other products, and the pricing page offers a stacking discount of 10 per cent per extra Plus subscription, up to 30 per cent.
Where it falls short
Genealogie Online focuses on Dutch and Belgian sources, offers no DNA matching and publishes trees made by other users. Hosting country is not stated on the pages we read. For desktop editing, pair it with Ancestris or Généatique.
Who Genealogie Online fits
Researchers with Dutch or Belgian roots who want to publish a tree online for free and look for matching trees. Combine it with Open Archives for record search.
