 Welcome to the Ungerecht family tree!
-This is for all Ungerechts, although the initial focus at least is on the family that emigrated from Germany to Wisconsin in 1864 - and all of their ancestors and descendants.  Read more about the [[0_UngerechtName|Ungerecht name]].
+The focus, at least for now, is on all ancestors and descendants on the Ungerecht family that emigrated from Germany to Wisconsin in 1864.  Read more about the [[0_UngerechtName|Ungerecht name]], and my 2016 [[110_Meiningen|trip]] to the home land in Germany.
-It is set up as a wiki, with links from one person to another and one family per page.  For privacy reasons, I'm trying to keep out all identifiable information on living persons, unless they want it in.  I might add a feature where people can log in and then see more information.  For people without death dates, I use 90 years as a cutoff.
+This is set up as a wiki, with links from one person to another and one family per page.  In the past, family genealogists would spend months trying to pull information from each family before publishing a book.  Whatever made it before the deadline was included, and follow-up information didn't get sent out.  In contrast, this is a "living" document and can be updated at any time.  And instead of grainy black-and-white photos, clicking on any picture here will get you to a full-size version. For privacy reasons, since this is online, only registered users can see the [[unliving:00_start|modern generations]] that include living people. [[Contact]] me for more information.
-These pages can also be exported as a PDF document for printing or viewing (see link on left).  Anybody with information to contribute can [[format#editing pages|edit]] it themselves (with an account) or pass the information on to [[contact|me]].  Pictures and stories are welcome too!
