    3. I for one see no use to a wikitree and no reason to support them. If you have free time, then use it in the so many indexing projects. Wikis are basically research stolen to other sites. wikipedia will rewrite stuff to "kill" copyrights, but in genealogy, this just doesn't work. Copying from another web site is stealing the work on that site. Anyway, wikis will die some day. Stealing the works from other will improve their position in google research but at the same time, the site will no be usable. Asking money to support wikis ? They are made of stealing material, so why would someone who accept to use stolen material accepts to pay for it ? No wiki only means you can search original material made by dedicated specialists and enthousiastics, not by beginners.
