I gave it up after a while. If you can figure out how to do this in an easy, readable way I can contribute what I started. I like the idea of the ethnic/regional/specialty chart, too.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-28988287069203409512011-06-24T00:00:34.540-05:002011-06-24T00:00:34.540-05:00Good idea!! :)Good idea!! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947147235981059318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-33344161130366868142011-06-23T12:06:34.192-05:002011-06-23T12:06:34.192-05:00Also, privacy is a big deal.

My blog is, in fact, my diary of research but also a collection of other's research who are related to me who are living or have passed away. I consider it a bit of a repository for the future generations. I also have access to some rare research findings like letters. My hope (and I suppose this is playing devil's advocate) is that it does not end up like a hard to search message board as on Ancestry.com or Genforum. I support this effort!zelserskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392051499155306765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-26465652454720876522011-06-21T22:56:40.025-05:002011-06-21T22:56:40.025-05:00Great idea, Heather!

In the specialty listing, it might be neat to have groupings by locality too, so we can see who's researching and blogging nearby.Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-13637536396454979822011-06-21T19:43:10.957-05:002011-06-21T19:43:10.957-05:00Thomas, that is exactly what I was thinking.
