what I do with my spare time

I just got an email from Dad inviting me to William Madison Perkins MyFamily.com website. When I asked him about it he told me that Samantha is developing a genealogy website for Dad’s side of the family.
Good idea? Yes. Maybe even great except that I have spent countless hours digitizing my families photo’s, newsletters, audio files, Video’s and word documents in an effort to archive them and have my own ideas on how to accomplish this “much bigger than I had anticipated” project.
Do you know how large Nana’s family is!?
I do! It was a little sad when I started getting happy about the decrease in birthrates among her siblings. My hand was getting cramped from typing in names, linking them, inputting the vital states in the information field, half of which I did wrong and have to go fix later ( I put the marriage date in the wrong field so now it doesn’t show during searches). If Samantha wants to do it, that is great! But I would love it if we can manage to work on the same file.
I’m getting the feeling that we won’t be though. Dad wants a home page for his family to post photos on which would be great. I’m mostly concerned that the family tree that I have been working on won’t get the updates and I will have to do all that work over top of the work Samantha is doing.

Just for those who are interested I have audio files of Acey Albert, William Perkins, and Nana’s Lullaby’s, along with an almost complete collection of the sibling photos. I’m missing most of Katie’s, and Megan’s. This is because when we leave the house mom gives us our own album of pictures and I can’t “borrow” them for my scanning process. I also have all of Dad’s baby pictures as well as Mom’s on CD.

I was able to email Matt all his photo’s as well as mail them overseas with out worrying that they would get lost or damaged in the mail.
