Thing #19

The first place winner under genealogy is MyHeritage. It is free, doesn't have spam and won't give out your email address. You must register (not unlike Ellis Island) but it is still free. It is multilingual and has its own search engine. It has a Family Tree Builder and general information on genealogy if you are a beginner. You can create your own family site and family members from around the world can participate. You can make the site private, with registration required, or public so everbody can add content. I am very impressed with the site. Web 2.0 awards is like using an article on the best reference books, or sites, for collection development...someone else does all the work.
