Genea-Musings: Family Association Wikis - Whitney

Genea-Musings: Family Association Wikis - Whitney

Via Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings blog, I found the Whitney Research Group wiki. I love the idea of using wiki technology for collaborating on family research through a family association, and at quick glance this one seems particularly well done. The articles I skimmed on my Whitney ancestors often fairly extensive and nicely referenced. [See, for example, Rev. Peter Whitney (1744-1816)]

I stumbled across the Whitneys while researching my Greenleaf line, and haven't done much research into them. I always remember them, though, because one of my mother's closest friends is a Whitney, and I'd love, some day to figure out if we're related. But anyway, this resource looks like it will be extremely helpful in researching some additional background on the Whitneys and I'd love to be able to contribute if possible. I note that my closest Whitney ancestor, Mary Parsons Whitney (1810-1889) has no page of her own, but I think my research needs to be firmed up a bit before I start adding anything.
