Post # 051 My dilemma

I host my Family tree data of over 1,000 relations with a time spread starting at the present day and back to the sixteenth century on the Ancestry web site.

Ancestry is a great system and worth the money I pay but it has it's limitations.


Here are my thoughts about my dilemma; how to make my data public and make it easy for folk to know about my updates.

Ancestry is where I put my info and pictures
	They say the info will be kept forever
	But it is semi private, not every one can see it
My web pages are public and accessible
	But will only be there for as long as I pay my ISP
	But there is no notification of any updates
My Blog can notify of updates via RSS
	But not every one understands how to use RSS

Google Reader is an easy way to manage RSS feeds



So here is my plan for the future:-

1. Continue with Ancestry holding the master copy of my data.
   
2. Continue to add to my own web site as new info is found and ratified
   
3. To write a new blog page here each time my web site is updated
   
4. Hope this makes sense to others
