Treelines is a unique web-based tool that allows you to share your family stories through words and images.  There are many ways to use this tool and I encourage you to read the about page.  I also suggest taking a look at what other people have created to get some inspiration on how you can use this tool.

Earlier today I announced that I had merged all of my genealogy blogs into one and moved to WordPress.  In addition to that massive project, I also moved my genealogy business website.  Both the blog and website are now one cohesive entity residing on the same domain.  Yea!!

Below is some information I received today from the FGS conference chairs that I thought I’d pass along to my readers.
