Genealogy Enters the New Web

Welcome to LivingGenealogy.com and welcome to my first blog. 

I'll use this blog as we move through our beta stage to introduce you to LivingGenealogy and to keep users up to speed on new developments.

What is LivingGenealogy?
LivingGenealogy is a new kind of genealogy web site for a new kind of Internet. The old Internet was all about looking things up, reading and maybe looking at pictures.  The new Internet is about collaborating, creating and connecting.  It's about bringing people together to do more than we could ever do alone.  And where is that more important than in genealogy? 

At LivingGenealogy, you can collaborate with other users: share information, share pictures, share stories. You can create and join user groups to share information, tips and experiences. 

You can create: create pages for your ancestors and make them come to life through memories, stories and photos. And you can contribute your research, memories and photos to pages created by other users about your ancestors. 

You can connect: Did somebody post new information about one of your ancestors?  Just click "contact author" and get in touch with them and ask where they got it. Do you have a treasured photo of your great aunt that other relatives would like to cherish too? Upload it to that ancestor's page or post it in your family's user group.

Together we can collaboratively write, share, update and preserve the world's greatest family history!
