Because I've a few family members on Facebook, I've decided to try it out for sharing genealogy. I decided to start with my William Mason Conner and share, wall post by wall post, everything I know about him on a PAGE. I think it's going to also turn into a book, formatted the same way, as I'm liking it. I share the DATA with a short snippet of what it does mean, or could mean. Done simply, it could actually catch the eyes of non-genealogists. We shall see. So far, only one of my cousins is "liking" it. But it's new.
I'm also trying to finish up the writing on the Mariani Family. I was having trouble with the outline until I remembered that I'm an Excel Junkie. I gave each person their own worksheet and plotted everything I know about them and where I know it from. Then I pushed the SORT button and now I just write away. I finished a chapter yesterday and hope to have the next one done this week.
I <3 Facebook and Excel. Not necessarily in that order.
