My daughter has really gotten bitten by the genealogy bug. She's been pushing me to get back into the swing of genealogy. Tonight I played around a little with the new Family Search's Family Tree. It is a communal family tree that anyone can contribute too. One of the major problems is that if people don't search the tree before attaching a person in their line, there may be many matching people. I was looking for my James Wallace and there were two matching people, and there were two IDs. Same thing for Fredrick Stanley, but in his case, there were three matches. There will be a lot of cleaning up to do.
I have so ignored my genealogy the past month and a half. The health issues I've been experiencing over the past year, especially the last few weeks, leaves me exhausted. It is a challenge just making it through the day at work, then I come home and fall asleep. It's hard to do genealogy when you are asleep!
