Experimenting with WikiTree

 As you might have noticed from the widget on the right side of the blog, I’ve been working with creating and updating profiles on WikiTree.  

I’m finding I enjoy the wiki format, and the fact that it can be a good source of ‘cousin bait’ to help find other researching with common interest.

I’m working slowly on my direct line ancestors, adding them or updating them with sources, if not already listed.  

Another project I’m working on was adding individuals who served with my ancestors in their Civil War unit.  Hopefully, some descendants of these men might have additional source material relevant to the unit history or even interactions with my ancestor.

Another plus for WikiTree is that it isn’t behind a paywall, so search engines such as Google will find the research and perhaps bring others to collaborate.

One more place to help share the research on the family.
