User talk:Porterws

Hi Porterws, Thank you for your interest in community research! The Family Search Wiki is exactly the community for which you are looking and maybe through facebook you could/would permote the research community. If you will look at the upper right-hand corner of this page you will find you can connect with others of the same-interest.

Click on the "by country" and see what is available and then contribute. Also click on the links below in the welcome letter. I am excited about your interests, however, I hate to see you "re-invent" the wheel. Check out our community. It's resources are vast and continue to evolve. Thanks again!
