Geni.com's projects feature opens up new avenues for collaborative genealogical research and tree-building. Combining the benefits of documented research and the Geni family tree platform, town projects provide a useful way for genealogists to work together on genealogies and community histories related to a specific location. The lecture will discuss specific examples of large and small town projects. Attendees will learn how to set up and organize their own town projects and invite collaborators. Specific attention will be given to the emerging view of generational family structure and the interconnectedness of communities using examples.
