OurTimeLines.com is a free-to-use site that generates personalized timelines based on the
year of one's birth. Each timeline shows how your life or the life of anyone you choose fits
into history. Users can insert up to ten, custom, color-coded personal time segments such as
marriage, birth, schooling, etc., into a time line.
The Peers and Near-Peers feature allows users to enter a birthdate and receive a list of people who
live(d) around that date.
A third feature is the birthday database. By entering a birth date, users can see who else has the same
birthday.
OurTimeLines.com is a fascinating tool to help children and adults understand the range of events
that occurred in their lifetime or in another relative's lifetime.
Rating: A fun way to personalize history.
