Press Release Summary: LONDON -February 28, 2008- The majority of families is spread out beyond their home countries and 40% even have relatives beyond continental borders. The surprisingly high figures were the result of a questionnaire conducted by family networking site Kindo.com and show how international today's families have become.
Press Release Body: The more than 1600 answers from 54 different countries show quite significant national differences as well. Among the featured countries, Russia is the one with the highest share of international families: 76% have relatives outside Russia. Turkish families in contrast seem to be very local as only 32% have family members living outside Turkey.
"Those figures indicate that Kindo is on the right path with offering a global network that caters for the needs of international families," says Mario Ruckh, who managed the poll at Kindo.
The core of Kindo's free webservice is a collaborative family tree, and the information added by family members. Additional features, such as family news, a family calendar, and statistics, all make it easier for international families to stay in touch with each other.
The poll ran during the last three months on the Blog of Kindo and made use of technology to identify and eliminate double votes. It was conducted in nine different languages in order to get answers from all over the world.
