Just finished reading Social Networking for Genealogists by Drew Smith. I've been doing genealogical research off and on since moving to the DC metro area in the 1990's. I've posted some messages to genealogy newsgroups with very little results but haven't let this discourage me from my research.
A couple of weeks ago I finally subscribed to Rootsweb's Womble mail list, which based on the few posts I've received isn't very active. While reading Drew Smith's book I was trying to decide the best way to put my genealogical research and knowledge out to the public. I thought about just making a website on the family I'm currently researching. Considered forming a Womble group on Facebook, but realized I would only reach those people that are all ready on Facebook.
This seemed to be the best solution and unfortunately I can't promise that my postings will only be on genealogy or my research. My plan is to have a website for the Womble family that will include the research I've done on them along with photos and sources this will eventually be linked to this blog hopefully one day in the future.
