FamilySearch Wiki Reaches an Important Milestone
October 1, 2013 By
FamilySearch has recently reached a rather significant milestone. Its Research Wiki has just published its 75,000th
article. While the number is impressive by itself, the idea that should
grab our attention and make us go WOW is the fact that such a large
community of genealogists and family historians have worked together to
pool their collective knowledge into a single web based library and made
it all available to the public—for FREE. It’s like having a worldwide
encyclopedia of knowledge for genealogists at your fingertips. This is
really big news!James Tanner, the creator and author of the Genealogy’s Star blog site has written an excellent blog post about this milestone event titled, 75,000 Articles now in the FamilySearch Research Wiki. James Tanner is an expert genealogist and writer. Tanner has contributed several useful articles to the Research Wiki, so he knows what he’s talking about.
