I've added a Ning network to my Maine Genealogy site—not because I wanted to create a community for my fellow genealogists, but because I wanted a place where I could act like a petty tyrant and stifle dissent. Your Genealogy Wise password will get you in the door, but after that you're on your own.
Well, I don't have a GW password, but I joined your network anyway, Chris!
I was glad to see that you had joined, Bill! I now have at least two (distant) cousins contributing to the site.
My pleasure! Who's the other cousin, btw?
Franz Martin, who grew up just down the road from me (about 20 years earlier).
