While the work / discussion of creating a Washburn Organization continues, has anyone considered setting up a Washburn Cousins site on MyFamily.com? I'm not aware of one in existance. If it doesn't exist, I heartily recommed its creation. I administer 15 sites for other family groups and they have proven to be very successful in bringing the group together, sharing info, photos, files, etc. as well as using the voice and text chats to coordinate research efforts. It is that it is free and username and password protected but the best part is that you are able to easily chat with cousins you'd probably never meet in your daily life regardless of where they / you live in the world.
