Brian- wow, that looks like a great site, I'll have to check it out.  Also I never had to do that yellow pad of people thing....guess I was just lucky :)

Yes, I have to say I never got cornered by my broker to do the list thing either.  I wouldn't have had much to share.  I started out of the gate with the Internet.

Brian, my mother's family tree is full of rogues and rascals.  My father's is full of history and founders and all that.  My sister got us invited to a family reunion of a part of my Dad's family tree that we have never really met.  It'll be in October, and of course, I'll bring business cards!

That website looks pretty cool and I can see how it can be addicting!

A web based geneaology tool. Very cool Brian.

I just played around with that site and it is really cool.  Thaks so much for sharing it. My sister has been putting together the family tree info and this takes it to the next level.

Brian- What a neat idea. I think we all have had, somewhere in the back of our mind , the desire to do a family tree. Now we can. Thanks for sharing

Brian,

Thank you for featuring Geni in this post. You bring up another great reason for people to start their family trees on Geni and invite their family. One request in the past has been to aggregate all of the family members occupations onto a list format. Therefore, in your case, if a family member is looking to buy a house, they can look through the list and would see that their second cousin which is maybe you, can help them. Great idea. Once again, thank you for the post and the use case.

Thank you,

Keith

Brian I actually use Geni and I love it!  I get updates from my family and I get to see my Family Tree increase!!

Like your post Brian. Did not know about this site. Networking within the family makes sense so long as there is no family feud brewing!

Brian-What a great post, and what a great web site, Thanks,

Joe

Sounds like a great way to get the family to contribute information that everyone would be interested in.

This looks very cool. My wife's family is research very wide and deep. My family? Not so much. There are some great sites that make this a lot easier (and actually funner) than before. I'm definitely going to check this one out.

That is too cool and I'm sending that to my wife who has been looking for something like this for awhile now.

cool idea, i am going to check it out.

Sounds like a great idea. I will check it out.Thank you.

Brian-I just checked out Geni.com, what a great website. I have entered the basics, but I will go back later and enter more to my family tree. Thanks for the great post.

Brian~What a great idea...Wouldn't it be great to know that you have a long-lost relative who won the lottery and is looking to invest in Real Estate. No really, I think it's a great idea to connect with family and didn't know a tool such as this existed. Thanks for sharing!

Wow- bringing the family tree into the technology age! What a wonderful thing to do. My husband is related to almost everyone in this small town we live in and we don't know most of them. Maybe I can get one of his aunts to take charge of this!

My first real estate sale was to my sister, the second to a friend and the third because of social networking- so I think I am following the right progression!

This is a great idea Brian....do you mind if I make like a tree and leave to get my own family tree started.  looks like it could be great fun.  I don't need another addiction however the for or five I already have is plenty.  Nice family post.

Brian,

This looks fascinating...I'm really into studying my family history along with my Dad and this will work great for all of the widespread family members to add their info.

Thanks for blogging about this!

Jo

This is a great tool for those looking to build a family tree but who have problems getting information. This way each family member can add in their own info. I'm so glad i found this topic searching active rain. Thank you so much for sharing. This should be featured!

Wow, this is a great! A social network site combined with a FREE (my fav word!) family tree!

Thanks for the information.  I'll have to check it out.  I just don't like having all of this person information out on the web for any hacker to have access to.
