I have set up a new type of collaborative genealogy web page on another
server. It will be a worksite for adding family information and correcting it as
well. I have added three gedcoms to the site as working projects; Boucher,
Hudgins and Bell, which includes all related families. To
view the actual info you will need to request to become a user first, then get
authenticated. After that I can give you access. Authenticated users that are
related will be allowed to edit their families. This is not a commercial site.
Only relatives may view or edit the data. I have contracted an ISP to host it now, so it will be available into the
future. At any rate try it out and see if you think it will be useful and a better
way to access our family history. Please let me know
your opinions, good or bad.
