After an extensive user-focused product development process, I am happy to launch Inclusive Ancestry, a technological revolution of digital storytelling designed to resist systems that perpetuate historic erasure. "A new free Chrome extension, Inclusive Ancestry, empowers Ancestry users to document (in their trees) their marginalized ancestors enslavement, unfreedom, forced migration, and internment. Japanese American internment during World War II, the regulating of Native American identity and location, and the spectrum of unfreedom that defined African American life in the antebellum era lack representation in Ancestry s fact/event system. Inclusive Ancestry seeks to fill that gap." Learn more: https://throughthetreesblog.tumb...
Adds inclusive historical event types to Ancestry trees for African American, Indigenous, and Japanese American ancestry.
Inclusive Ancestry extends Ancestry's existing "Add fact or event" menu with events reflecting the experiences of enslaved and free African Americans, Indigenous Americans, and Japanese Americans, empowering genealogists and family historians to document neglected aspects of American history on their Ancestry.com family tree timeline.
