Trackuback genealogy platform launches in Ireland

I've received a press release from a Swedish company called Trackuback (https://trackuback.com) which describes itself as "a platform for historical visualization, where you can experience your background in new ways. Your own family research connects to historical maps, archaeology, demography, to the large historical events and back to local history. Explore the context your ancestors lived in, and the places they inhabited. In short: Put yourself in the flow of history." The platform was originally launched in Scandinavia, and is now launching internationally, starting with Ireland. 

Here is the release:

Press release: Trackuback genealogy platform launches in Ireland

Trackuback is now launched in Ireland, with a premiere on 30 October. Ireland will be the fourth country in the international establishment, after the Scandinavian countries. We will continue during the autumn with launches in even more countries.

Trackuback is an innovative platform for genealogy and history, where the user visualizes personal genealogy with large amounts of built-in content, such as historical maps, statistics, archeology, demography and legends. The large historical events are reflected in the personal history, to create context and perspective. In short: Put yourself in the flow of history.

A campaign will be carried out in Ireland from 30 October, with a premiere discount of 30%. The platform contains tools that are not available in other genealogy platforms. Tools that we have made visual and intuitive to work with. We target early adopters, younger genealogists and the professionals who are looking for new tools for their commissions.

We wanted to create the platform that we ourselves lacked and started building Trackuback with support from the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova. The founders are enthusiasts from different areas of expertise, who came together in our interest for history and visualization. New tools and sources are constantly being added. We work closely with our users, and their wish lists guide the direction we take.

Trackuback is a startup company based in Sweden. In the development project, we collaborate with the well-known genealogist Ted Rosvall, known from "Who do you think you are?", and DNA expert Peter Sjölund. Wikimedia is another important partner.

Do not hesitate to contact us for more information. https://www.trackuback.com

Disclaimer - I have not tested this platform, and have not heard of the company before, so am just flagging it up for anyone who may be interested!
