Revision as of 08:13, 5 January 2013
Welcome to Familypedia!
(The largest semantic wiki for genealogy.)
We are currently working on 312,074 articles and 410824 other pages. Here you can keep your family history research organized, evergreen, accessible, and collaboration-ready. Join us in this important and exciting work! |
This is a place where you can create articles about your ancestors, and easily link them to other articles about where and when they lived. You can work wholly within this wiki, or you can link your articles to sites on the world wide web. And because this is a wiki format, you can work collaboratively with others to create a network of articles about your ancestors and about those they lived and worked with — or simply about people you find interesting. It is our hope that, as this site grows, we will gradually be able to link our ancestors into a network that goes far beyond the simple nuts and bolts of who lived where and when.
This site aspires to be truly global, with active contributors and information from several cultures and languages, and all four Hemispheres.
