Computer Database: of all submitted electronic files (GEDCOMS). > 2. Charts: "drop down" 1-page style, physically displayed on the walls. > 3. Histories: 1-page family stories. > 4. Paper Files: for trees which we do not receive in the above formats. > 5. Webpages: to search the computer database and to display the Charts and > Histories on the Internet. > > As you can imagine, several of us are working furiously behind the scenes > to get as much of this in place as possible before the Gathering. The > details about how to submit your family tree and history to the Project > should be available within the next 10 days. We will also be inviting > people to submit their 1-page histories simultaneously to this List for the > benefit of all researchers. To prevent overwhelming the List, it has been > suggested that we do a Roll Call by Clan name in order that the stories post > here in a staggered fashion. > > So, please watch the list for all those exciting details, > > Louise MacDougall > Vancouver Island, BC Canada > Networking Liaison > Tiree Interconnections > "Connecting families together to create the Tiree Family Tree" > A Genealogy Project of the Tiree Gathering 2004 > www.tireegathering.com >
