In a moment of late-night inspiration (really, is there any other kind?) I decided that I must use my half-formed wiki software to create a source of family information.
This was after I was playing around on the Ellis Island website, and realized that I had forgotten, once again, the names of my great-grandparents. For shame.
Then I realized how perfect the wiki software would be for this problem. Wiki is a way of creating collaborative writing and easily linking from one node to another. In the context of the family tree, this makes it very easy to link from parent to child to grandparent to siblings -- just list the parents, children and siblings of each person in their node, and then it's easy to follow up, down, or sideways.
I've entered some names in already, and hope that more family members will add in more information, as well!
The page for all of this is here.
