Family Tree
Last night my mum found the genealogy records for her side of the family dating back to the early 1700's. My Dad's side only goes back to my great grandparents, and it gets really iffy after that.
Luckily Niki's cousin has been putting together a family tree for her dad's side of the family, so we can get this party started.
I've looked into software to record all this, and it turns out there is a website that helps out, but it seems a bit slow and buggy, but the idea is that you fill out as much as you can, and you can easily share it with your relatives, and they can fill in as much as they can..and so on..and so forth... cool.
Here is the site
Once they work out some of the kinks (it's in beta) I think this site is going to take off. Seriously user friendly!
(update)
looks like the site went down already...the power of code monkey! (yea right)

Not impressed. Both my parent's geneology has been tracked back (verifyably) into the middle ages. It's not very exciting, though, as all it revleals is that my ancestors were a bunch of boring white people from northwestern and north central europe.
