Still others are looking for social interaction and have an interest in genealogy. Everyone cannot be dedicated around the clock towards genealogy while others devote massive amounts. We should always be mindful that not everyone has the same amount of time to devote to genealogy projects and we need to be respectful of their priorities. Databases abound on the net and many randomly place dates without any qualification of the data. It is also important to point out inaccuracies.
Sharing is the core benefit from doing genealogy on the Internet.
We are no longer limited in our ability to reach out and make contact with distant cousins. Many are willing to share their information in hopes of promoting their work or helping others find their roots. However, sharing can also create a tense environment. The more ambitious research generates the protective researcher and that person might wish to conditionally share his or her information. In another light certain family backgrounds might make the information personally sensitive to an individual.
