Although I haven\u2019t participated in one, I understand the concept and have heard great things.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, my mom finally agreed to start cataloging our family artifacts\/heirlooms, but was looking for an easier solution than the one we discussed many years ago. Initially, my first thought was to use our Flickr accounts. Many years ago, I had posted several unidentified photos there and she was able to go in and comment on them. They were private, only available to me and my mom. But a lot has changed on Flickr through the years and it didn&#8217;t look as simple to do this as it had been. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Since we&#8217;re both on Facebook and know how to use it, I decided, why not use a Facebook group to collaborate on our heirloom documentation project like others do for genealogy research projects. So I created a private (and hidden) Facebook group with only the two of us a members. She can take photos of the family artifacts around her home, upload them to our group, and provide details in the description. We can then use comments to discuss. I also have some family artifacts in my home that I&#8217;m going to take photos of and post, and then she can provide the details. I can easily download any photo she posts, and then copy\/paste the details wherever I decide to store this information (I\u2019m still considering my options).<\/p>\n<p>This may not be the best solution, but if it gets my mom to sit down and start documenting our family artifacts\/heirlooms, then it\u2019s the perfect solution for us.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Are you doing something similar? What tool(s) are you using? Would love to hear about it, so drop me a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know of a few people who use private groups on Facebook to collaborate with a small group of people on genealogy projects.
