I have briefly posted about Wikitree as I joined a while back.
It is set up in such a way as to allow collaboration with fellow researchers but in this post I want to tell you about how it has been used to reunite some photographs with my family.
Whilst I was on holiday recently I received a message via the private messaging on Wikitree.
This message was from another genealogist who was not a relative.
He told me he was trying to reunite some photographs with a member of the family.
Having exchanged some information as to who was in the photographs it appears that some of the people in the photographs were cousins of my grandmother.
It also transpired that there was a thread at Rootschat regarding this search see http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,612466.0.html
I thought I was fortunate when I received a family bible belonging to my husband's family now it seems good fortune is to come my way once again.
