    Welcome to HobbyNet! I see that you have an interest in genealogy. I'm not active like
    I used to be so I spend more time indoors now. I love to play the organ, I love
    computers and I love tracing my roots.

    Have you tried out https://www.wikitree.com yet? It's totally free and you get the
    benefit of having others trace your history for you. All you have to do after you create
    your free account there is to input your basic information to include your parents
    information as well, and then the magic happens.

    I now receive weekly notices from them that mention my relationship to famous people.
    If you already have a gedcom, you can upload it. I believe that you will have to take
    some time afterwards to verify whether you are related to already existing members,
    but that is a plus. It means that you are connecting to the tree that they are a part of.

    I created a website for my family tree: https://www.dippel- hollar.name/webtrees/index.php

    I allow some people to upload their gedcoms there once I give them access. It's all free
    for them to use. I also could develop a website for an individual that wants to host
    there own genealogy site.

    Anyway, welcome to HobbyNet. Feel free to post to your hearts content about anything
    hobby-related.

    Thanks for that! I didn't know about Wikitree. Created an account this morning while I was having my coffee before work. Uploaded my GEDCOM from Ancestry and started working through the 'suggestions'. I've got company right
    now, so I'll probably spend some time on there after they leave tomorrow. See
    what all it has to offer.

    Thanks Mike! Appreciate the welcome!

    Someday, they will tell us how you and I are related.
