Community Builder

I am in the process of developing an add-on system to the Beasley Genealogy Project website that I believe can help our cause. Since our genealogy project is based not only on searching into the past, but also making real connections with the present, I believe we are best served by knowing one another and encouraging communication.
If you come to the website often, you have been seeing some gradual revisions in the right-hand column of the main page. The system is called "Community Builder" and has a lot of functions for sharing information about the participants in our project. I am just learning about the potential, so I am adding gradually.
For now, you will notice, if you aren't logged in, that "Who's Online" will tell you how many guests and how many members are on-line. Once you log in, you will be able to see the names of the others logged in. Each person will have a profile with relevant information about themselves, their family and genealogical relationships among other facts. It can be sort of like the concept of FaceBook, but a lot more focussed and specialized.
Once I get to the point that the process is more developed I will contact registered members to participants. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
