So my favorite pages are about whatever I happen to be researching at the moment. Right now that's Sullivan County, New York, so I've been reviewing that county page.<br /><br />Also, I wanted to share the distinction between a couple of things about beginners. There are actually two types of beginners - beginning genealogists, who focus on living memory, and beginning researchers, who focus on finding documents and information about their ancestors beyond what those living know about.<br /><br />In truth, I think we should be able to make living memory fun and interesting. That's how we'll be able to get more people hooked on learning more about their ancestors. That doesn't mean that we forget research though. When you're done with living memory, that's when you begin to research. And that's where the wiki comes in. And in truth, we could make the wiki better for beginning researchers, but that's a topic for another day.....Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418818426143583007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-35198217263834286782013-03-17T12:05:34.219-07:002013-03-17T12:05:34.219-07:00I would be interested to know if you have any favo...I would be interested to know if you have any favorite pages, topics or categories of either of those in the FamilySearch wiki.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572739124200052085noreply@blogger.com
