For those of you interested in researching your family tree, have you checked out geni.com. It's a pretty cool website where you can sign up for free and add people to your family tree. You can send them an invitation to the site via email. Once other family members join they can add in missing pieces as they see fit. The more people you invite to your family tree the larger your family tree can grow. It's pretty interesting to see how far you can branch out. If you haven't tried it yet you should.

Thanks for sharing this website, but I would be a little worried that the rest of my family may not have accurate information. That does happen alot in geneology research. But I may try it out. It would probably be fun.

That has also become a problem with me. Some of my family members have put people in wrong sections so I've had to go through and correct it. But it's just interesting to see what other people may know.

I use geni.com I have this one for my grandmother's family and one on ancestry.com for my grandfather's side. I can invite the different families to the different sites and no conflict over any thing about the grandparents bitter divorce!

I have been doing my family tree for a while now, as my husband got me in to it after he started doing his. We do our family tree on genesreunited and ancestry. Never tried this site you have mentioned. It is a great way of finding out all your familes from way back though.

I've been doing genealogy for about 10 years now. Never heard of this site. I'm always looking for new ones to check out. Thanks :)
