Thing 17 - Web 2.0 winners

I visited the "My Heritage" site, not expecting much, and was thoroughly delighted! It was so easy to use! Really just fill in the blanks, and you can add pictures, more than one to a person if you like. It creates reports, cool charts with fancy frames and all, and even will help search for ancestors, although I suspect you'll have to pay and join other sites to obtain information if the search results are outside of "My Heritage" (which is free). I don't know if there is much use in a classroom or library setting for this, but I'll love it at home. Things are pretty touchy nowadays with divorces, single parent homes, and grandparents raising kids so Family Trees aren't done in elementary school anymore.
