Computers and Family History

One of the most exciting applications of computer science for me has been working with family history. For one of my classes my friend and I are creating a website to help our family collaborate and share their knowledge of our family history. So far you can see our progress at www.fisherfamilywiki.co.cc. This website is a great example of free tools that are available that anyone can use to benefit their family. We chose a wiki so that even people with basic computer skills can contribute. I am also working to create a document to help others who are interested to help them make their own family wiki. If you are interested you can email me or leave a comment and I will send you that document. My experience has shown me that people are ready and willing to contribute so don't be afraid to start.
