I hate the "preaching to the choir" aspect of GenealogyWise. We need to expose our youth to genealogy, although I guess it's possible that now that so many over 50s have joined, the kids will go elsewhere.

All the groups - 1,503 at this moment - are too hard to sort through for me.

In one large group I joined (100+ members), few are starting "discussions" but dozens are leaving comments that amount to nothing more than what you get at various surname boards already available. Nice idea, but as yet I'm not impressed. <br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
