I'll be blogging on Shelley's topic, and giving it a go from both angles (Australia day/Survival day). I look forward to seeing the other contributions!

Sorry no blogging from me :) I'll be too busy as it's my daughter's birthday and the tribe are coming to our house for an Aussie BBQ and swim.

Hi Geniaus,

Thanks for your comments, something to look at.

I use two products The Master Genealogist to keep my data on my PC. See some reviews here:

And TNG to publish my tree on the web. See some reviews here:

Also my blog post on TNG http://geniaus.blogspot.com/2009/11/geniaus-website-reflections.html I still agree with what I said over 12 months ago.

I keep my information using Family Tree Maker.  I've used it for a number of years and wouldn't be without it.  Of course, this is just for my benefit and is not on-line.  The reports and charlts features on it is brillian and there is a feature for compiling a book. However, although I do keep my information on Ancestry.com, I also use Tribalpages (which I much prefer).  It's virtually like having your own website and you select your own privacy levels.  They have a free version available and it's a great way to find out if the site suits your needs.

I have been entering my research on to Ancestry.com. You have the oportunity to add documents, newspaper cuttings, records etc. You can also mark this as private so only people you want to see your tree can look at it or have it public. There is also a way to print your tree and make it into a book.

No harm in checking it out, I have been researching my tree for over 30 years and have found so much in the last two years including a number of cousins also researching the famiy

Hi, Like Sheree I'm looking at the challenge of how best to record the genelogy information I have built up over the past year.  I have paper everywhere, electronic material from the State Library and ScotlandsPeople, to mention two.  Some suggestions on the best way forward would be welcome.  An option that provides an avenue to eventual publication on the web is what I'm looking for.

Thanks in anticipation.  Cheers  Bob . . .
