Genealogical society?

[C. M. Siervicül]

Would there be any interest in creating a Talossan genealogical society?

And if you would be interested in such an organization, what ideas do you have about what it could do?

A few ideas:

1. Exchanging information (FamilySearch IDs, GEDmatch kit numbers, etc.) to find genealogical connections among Talossans.

2. Posting brick walls to get tips and advice from other members.

3. Sharing genealogical resources we've found useful.

I would very much be interested in a genealogical society in Talossa!

Who else has an account on Wikitree? I've traced my family back to 18th century Mauritius

Who else has an account on Wikitree?

I do, though I haven't worked on it extensively yet. The learning curve is certainly higher than Ancestry or FamilySearch.

That sounds interesting!

Not overly. Clermont-Ferrand, France -> Mauritius -> French settlements in India, where they married up with my Brit-Irish colonial ancestors, and their descendants eventually had to lead for New Zealand in a hurry in 1947

I've found some interesting things in my family tree: I'm descended from both William the Bastard & Harold Godwinson; Pictish & Irish kings; Gorm the Old, King of Denmark; and Clovis I, First King of the Franks.

Ha ha, no you're not. Reliable genealogical records don't go back that far.

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

I'd love to participate too. It is difficult to find records beyond 1850-1860 due to slavery but we've had some luck with genetic testing to identify (some quite surprising) family matches.
