For many enthusiasts pursuing their family history research, the online world offers a seemingly endless archive of digitized materials to help answer the questions posed by ancestors. In addition to hosting records, however, the internet also offers a unique platform on which to can host research and lure in prospective cousins from around the world, to help build up a larger shared ancestral story. In this book, genealogist and author Chris Paton will explore the many ways in which to present research and encourage collaboration online. He will detail the many organizations and social media applications that can permit cooperation, describe the software platforms on which to collate stories, and illustrate the many ways to publish stories online. He will also explore how to make research work further, by drawing in experts and distant cousins from around the world to help break ancestral brick walls, not just through sharing stories, but by accessing documentation held by family members around the world, including shared DNA.
