Got your own version of family history that’s just begging to come out? Maybe you need a wiki.
A wiki is a website where anyone can participate by adding new information or changing existing information—anytime and instantly. Start looking and you’ll discover wikis exist on almost every subject. Even family history.

http://mcmenemy.wikispaces.com
Begin the search with family or surname wikis like the McMenemy wiki, designed so people researching M’Meanma/McMenemy families can quickly submit information online.

www.wikitree.org
Look further and you’ll find wikis with a broader focus. At WikiTree there’s a global “family forest of humanity.” You get 40,000 names (add your research and it’s 40,001) that can be searched in alphabetical order, by century, or by country.

http://rodovid.org
Rodovid, Ukrainian for “lineage” or “genealogy,” offers approximately 62,500 names and comes in 15 languages—English, Polish, and Russian included.

At Wiki Ireland, you’ll find more than 5,000 articles to help you gain a cultural and historical understanding of Ireland and Irish ancestry.

http://wiki.genealogy.net/wiki/Hauptseite
GenWiki is a German-genealogy website, but caution—to get something out of it, you’ll have to know how to read and write German.

www.tikiwiki.org
Forget about the search and start from scratch. Create your own family wiki with a free tool like TikiWiki (although fee-based wiki tools may be a little more user friendly). Then let fellow family historians post their versions of family history on your wiki anytime they’d like. It’s like having your own, personal, always-on, family-centric sounding board.
