Web 2.0 Awards

I LOVED the site myHeritage! I spent way too much time creating the beginnings of my family tree. It was so easy to use! The site also provided great tips. Loved how you could easily access those tips any time you wanted to. The great part is the collaboration potential! I can build as much (or as little) of the family tree as I want to & invite some of the others in the family to join & work on the family tree, also. So my siblings can go in & add their children & grandchildren, etc. And if I don't have the birth date or maiden name of a deceased relative, maybe someone else in my family does. This is so cool!

As the reference librarian I work with a lot of patrons who are working on their genealogy. You can bet that I'll be bringing this "myHeritage" site to their attention. I used the free version of myHeritage. But there was the option to purchase a "premium" version. For now, I'll see how far I can get with the free version.

There were also tabs for calendar & newsletters & several other things. But I couldn't tear myself away from building the family tree.
