National Library of China launch genealogy portal

The National Library of China has launced a new genealogy portal called "Our Roots Network" - http://ouroots.nlc.gov.cn/

According to AsiaOne News the site provides access to digitised genealogical documents and charts. Users can also register and input their own family trees onto the website. For more information read the article at http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Asia/Story/A1Story20110407-272280.html

Unfortunately there is no English language version. Google Translate or Yahoo Babel Fish can be used to decipher some of the text.
