Change is in the air!!!

For a while, I have been toying with the idea of putting my family tree online for my family to view.  There are several issues that I have to contend with, the main one being privacy.  It is not right to put the information of my living relatives online as that will put them in harms way with identity thieves.  There are also technical issues that I have to contend with as well. 

Well last week I found a genealogy program that allows me to create my family history without listing the living relatives.  I originally wanted a website that will allow the public to see the family history without the living relatives AND allow the family to login and see the family history with the living relatives, but that is too expensive and requires more technical knowledge that I do not have.  So, for now, I will no longer be blogging  on my One Crafty Mom blog about my family history or my search for my family history.  I will be posting about my search of my family history at my new blog, http://mygenealogyobsession.wordpress.com/.  If you want to be updated on when the new blog will be up and running, click on the link and subscribe.  It should be up and running hopefully by the end of January, but at the latest, the end of February.

If MyGenalogyObsession blog works out and is easy to maintain, I will eventually switch my OneCraftyMom blog to wordpress.  It allows me to be more creative with my blog and so far, seems easy to use.  Only time will tell.

Have a great day everyone!!
