What is the Genealogy Project?

In short, The Genealogy Project is just that - a genealogy project. However, it is also the ongoing work of putting together the fullest, best-documented, and best-researched family tree that I am able. Today, the family tree comprises some 16,000+ individuals, scraped from census records, family genealogies, and the like. The basic idea is that, as I research the family tree, if I come across other related people, regardless of whether or not they are in my direct lineage, I take the time to input their data into the file. That's the fullest bit, and how I've gotten 16,000 people in the tree. On the other hand, I require that I be able to (1) source each and every fact added to the file, and (2) that those sources be viable.

This means that if I should happen to blog about someone on here and you are related, I probably have hundreds and perhaps thousands of relatives for you as well. In addition, I will be able to give you source details, and you can integrate those into your own research.

The whole idea behind the blog is sharing some of what I have found, in the hopes that if anyone else out there is searching along these same lines, perhaps we can share information. I'm particularly interested in my main lines, however, I welcome information on any of my relatives, especially stories, pictures and the like. I anticipate posting at least weekly, but we'll wait and see how this whole thing works out.
