LMFHG on WikiTree

Since our Open Day in May several LMFHG members have been working on adding their ancestors to the Wikitree site.

One of our members said "I am committed to Wikitree as a collaborative tree. I am working to ensure that my ancestors' and forebears' stories are not lost so I aim to give them all a profile on this platform. It's a future-proofing exercise." 

We were enthused by the presentation on WikiTree from Veronica Williams who convinced us of the value of using WikiTree as a platform to preserve the stories of our ancestors and those who have gone before us. Following on from that event we had a further discussions at our in person and online meetings. Several members are actively working on adding profiles to Wikitree.

As part of the preparation for her presentation Veronica set up a Page on WikiTree for those interested in researching the area. WikiTree members are able to add to and edit that page which is available from this link. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Lake_Macquarie_Family_History_Group
