Over the years dixie9.com aka aussierhonda.com have used various formats for displaying our family tree with the main aim of it being a collaborative tree for all family members old and new to particiapate and grow the tree, branch by branch, limb by limb. Of recent times, I have been wondering what would happen to all our work when I go to meet our Maker. I am not a fan of ancestry.com as I object to handing my tree over to them and then have them charge potential family members a fee to find and access the information. The truth can be said for a lot of other "online tree's" as well.
So, after much discussion with family members we have decided to utilise the wonderful
WikiTree.com. WikiTree is a 100% free, collaborative project which has been growing since 2008. As a community the object is to create a single worldwide family tree.
It's as simple as creating a person profile page, setting the privacy levels, adding sources, notes and information. The beauty is that others can request to co-manage the page, add or correct details and grow the information and grow the profile. You can privatise a profile so that only 'Trusted' people can view as well. Click here to see Rhonda's fathers profile.
Feel free to join in and help! The more the merrier :D
