Consider this example of history lost when Ancestry shuttered its MyFamily social networking service in 2015. With information submitted directly to genealogy giants like Ancestry or FamilySearch, there is probably little risk of loss, but beware of smaller sites and offshoot brands. While it may seem at times like information on the internet is permanent, the fact is that websites die, brands change ownership, and information is sometimes lost in the shuffle. I change set the privacy settings as I see fit. When I run the site, I decide what information is visible to visitors, members, and administrators. It’s hard to keep up with other people’s changes. Websites can change default privacy settings and privacy policies for good or ill. Several of these options have modern smartphone apps to boot, so why should I start my own website instead of utilizing these fine web services? 🤔 I’ve got four reasons, all of which make sense to me without regard to whether they actually hold water. My personal favorite for freedom-of-information purposes is the public-domain genealogy wiki WeRelate. Geni is social networking for genealogists. If cloud-based working and sharing is my goal, the leading genealogy sites offer excellent alternatives for members. Why launch my own family history website? One project I’ve had on the back burner for the last decade or so is re-launching a family history website on a home server. 🤔 That means it’s GeNeALoGy TiMe once again!!! 😃👌 In the wake of nationwide coronavirus business closures, I find myself without summer employment for the first time in about a quarter-century.
