Family Wiki

About a year ago FamilySearch.org combined data and features from other sites that offered similar ancestory services. Users can now receive email notifications when changes are made to a specific ancestor, as well as the ability to make and undo changes. Ancestry Search is headed in a new direction, ready to break new ground as it fully begins to take advantage of the internet. As it becomes more wiki-like, more and more people will contribute to it and add infromation about common ancestors. The future will eventually lead to social media being fully integrated with ancestry sites. It might be frightening to think that even now our entire lives are slowly being uploaded to the internet, but this is not a bad thing, our descendants will be able to look on ours lives and learn from our mistakes. This will be one step closer to our lives and memories living forever.
