WikiTree - Collaborative Family Tree

WikiTree - Collaborative Family Tree:

If you are interested in genealogy and Wikis this website may be of interest to you.  I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this application.  I haven't spent any time looking at it myself.  I'm interested in the topic of using Wikis for genealogy.

How JotSpot Became Google Sites

JotSpot reincarnated as Google Sites | Outside the Lines - CNET News:

Did you know that JotSpot was a Wiki?  I didn't.  Google doesn't use the term "Wiki' in any of it's postings about Google Sites.  Many months ago I create a Google Site where I share many PDFs of information about families that I gathered over the years when I was actively working on genealogy.

Wikis As A Genealogy Research Tool

Wikis As A Genealogy Research Tool

I think Wikis have lots of potential as genealogy tools.  I'm interested in investigating the topic.  

The most attractive feature of a Wiki, it seems to me, is that if the Wiki is public or open to invited members anyone can create or add to a page.  It's a way to collaborate in The Cloud.  Thus, it provides an open-ended way to share genealogy information, to post queries, to meet and bond with other people working on the same families.

HenthornFamily Wiki On Wikispaces

I created the HenthornFamily Wiki on Wikispaces to get us started with the learning process.  This isn't "my" Wiki.  Rather, it is "our" Wiki.  It's a learning exercise.  It's an experiment.  It's a genealogy project.  We don't know how the experiment will turn out.  In reality it all depends on "you."  If visitors are willing to post and share information there's no telling how useful the Wiki might be.  Don't hesitate to get involved.  As long as you keep your postings civil (no flaming allowed) and don't post advertisements we all should get along fine.
