How many views do some of the big youtubers get within hours of posting? How many people can we connect to in a matter of seconds? thousands and thousands is the answer. imagine a huge website, where you could enter your city, name, and the rest of your family tree (as much as possible). If you entered a name (that wasn't yours [say you put in your grandmas] and that name had already been entered it would direct you to the location on the "tree" of who it was and if they were related to you you could put some kind of "limb" between you and them. Imagine how many people you could realize you were related to? This would be a way for are sons (in the futrue) and daughters, and there sons and daughters to find us, and say wow that guy was my cousin.

I've always been interested to know about my family tree. We use to have family members from America and different parts of Europe XD.
Things similar to this are already on the internet. Only I think you have to pay a price to look around the archives etc :/

yeah. but i doubt any of the youth of the world see it... lets put in 100,000 teens, there parents(and the parents siblings-->and the siblings kids), and there grand parents(and there siblings-->and if you know there kids) I guarantee we will reunite or unite people as a family!

familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Family_History_and_Genealogy_WikiThere's a wiki project currently attempting this. But I agree that we should bring it to the attention of of more people. Maybe pogotribe could collaborate on a really nice promotional video of this website and then post it on several big name channels like Dan Brown's. I'd be able to help make a video. I have experience with animation and video editing.

Czech out Ancestry.com. I have my family back into the late 1800's.
