"Tiree Interconnections" is the Genealogy Project of the Tiree Descendants Gathering 2004 www.tireegathering.com . Although, we haven't officially put out a call for all family trees yet, I will give you a preview of where we are heading: In this Project we will be attempting to make available as many family trees as possible in a variety of forms, to as many researchers as possible, at the Gathering and before it and after it, as follows: 1. 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 macdougallclan@shaw.ca 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
