Use SquidWho To Build Your Family Tree

I am an avid Genealogist and with the help of my mom traced our family history back to the 1700's.

I am also on the Board of Directors of the Andrews Alumnae Association and we have been looking for a way to put the school history online for awhile now. I am a Lensmaster on Squidoo and knew that they would be the perfect place to display this information. SquidWho is just the icing on the cake.

SquidWho is a Squidoo Co-Brand or Front Door that allows people to create a lens about a famous or not so famous people.

SquidoWho provides modules for you to enter your information and create a page. Now what makes SquidWho even better for Family Trees is that you can link each family member together. Here's How:

Create your first page. Mine was our Schools Founder Margaret Marsh St. John (Thanks to my mom for finding the data). I used the "Text List" Module to create a Lineage Line. Here I included her Grandparents and Parents. I used simple HTML to create a link to her Father Dr. Orson Swift St. John in the lineage. I also used the "Featured Lens" Module to link to his SquidWho page under "More about Orson Swift St. John, Father of Margaret St. John".

Then add things like photos, marriage (link to spouse), children & siblings (again link to each person) education and work. When your done you'll have a really cool online Family Tree that you can share with other people. With each page linking to other family members you'll never get lost!

I'd also like to thank Lensmaster MrLewisSmile for including me in his SquidCool Blog!
