collaborating on Long Island genealogy

I just joined this group and see a LOT of names I have worked with.  My line is Jackson and I have a website dedicated to the descendants of Robert Jackson (www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com) and in the process of researching his early family I also had to pick up information about all these intermarried families like Birdsall, Seaman, Titus, Townsend, Underhill, Willets, etc.

I've begun to slowly add my data base (in small bits) to the free, collaborative, wiki site (www.WeRelate.org) and could use a lot of help.  I'd love to recruit folks that have studied Long Island colonial ancestors to contribute what they know to the WeRelate site.  Think wikipedia for genealogists!  Wiki is a challenge for me but I think the free collaborative features are worth the effort. 

In an effort to cut down on GEDCOM uploads of trees just copied from someone else's tree with no sources, the site has limited GEDCOM uploads to folks born 1750 and later.  But earlier folks can be added manually.  That limit is sort of a pain but it is helping the site have a much better quality of information available.  The site is big on sources so plan to upload your sources with your data. 

There is a tutorial both video and text for new users of the site.  So come explore and see what all can be done on a wiki site.  Together we can build something really good!
