Involvement in family history enables a wide range of people to connect in a virtual community, sharing information and stories for the benefit of all. The interest in family history has never been greater than it is now. But too often people face a financial barrier to pursuing their interest and reaping those benefits of connection. The result is less opportunity for individuals and communities.
