MyHeritage launches new research wiki

MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com) has launched its very own research wiki, and is inviting community contributions:

Introducing the MyHeritage Wiki: the New Community-Led Online Encyclopedia for Genealogy and DNA

We are excited to announce the launch of the MyHeritage Wiki: the new, community-led online encyclopedia for genealogy and DNA. The new wiki is hosted on MyHeritage, but its scope is very broad and goes far beyond the specifics of the MyHeritage service. We invite you to explore the wiki and use it to further your knowledge of genealogy and DNA. But more importantly, we invite you to join us on a meaningful and ambitious journey to transform it into the ultimate online encyclopedia covering every family-history and DNA-related topic under the sun, in dozens of languages. By becoming a contributor, you can help us make it happen!

At launch, the MyHeritage Wiki contains hundreds of useful articles covering a wide range of topics, such as researching family history in various countries, leveraging DNA to find new family members, exploring surnames and naming traditions, different kinds of historical records, and more. But this is just the beginning. With the help of our devoted contributor community — composed of family history enthusiasts like you, with complementary areas of expertise — we aim to build a comprehensive resource that will provide family history enthusiasts of every level, background, and origin with the information they need to take their research to the next level. We would love to welcome you as a contributor with the skills and know-how you can bring to the table — whether it’s proficiency in a specific area of genealogy, foreign language skills, a flair for writing, a sharp eye for typos, or an enthusiastic community spirit.
