Family History
Millions of
people have pieced together their genealogy and family history. When you do
this, it's not only something you want to share with your family but
something for which you want family assistance. Family histories are
inevitably collaborative efforts, even when one person does most of the
work. After all, most members of the family have some relevant information
unknown to {or perhaps forgotten by} the others members. What better way to
get help from other family members than to post your research on the family
web site?. Important elements of a family's
history are families artefacts. Many of these
{e.g., personal journals, old photographs} can be digitized and shared with
other family members. This can make your family history richer than what it
would be if it included only the family artefacts in your procession. The
inexpensive and convenient resources to research genealogy and family
history are much greater than they were just a few years ago. Many such
resources are already available on the Web. The resources will grow in the
future as the internet continues to make family history a growth industry.
Family history can be a fun project, an ongoing project, an inspirational
project, and one which you will definitely want to post on your family web
site..
Family
Warehouse
You gave
away that VCR to Fred, a neighbour down the street. Then you heard that
Cousin Lois needs one to take to college. Darn, if only you had known. What
about creating a family warehouse on the Web? A family member who has an
asset they want to get rid of can put it on the warehouse Web page for
other family members to claim before they give it away to Fred down the
street. The warehouse list {on a Web page} can even include photographs.
For valuable items such as cars, there might be an exclusive offer made to
family members before selling the car on eBay, to a dealer, or though a
classified ad.
