Our Vision:
We envision this organization as being key to worldwide genealogy. When we must we will store information, but for the most part we would be an organization helping others to acquire and store information in their own repositories, whether by funding, by sheer volume of volunteer manpower or simply through technical advice. Linking all of this together through the master pages housed in a multi-lingual format in conjunction with new standards, enabling software to access this data - all genealogists worldwide will have interactive access to all the information that has been placed online no matter where it or they might be located.
Our Mission:
Fundamentally, genealogists around the world have many common interests: we want records preserved and made more accessible, we want better ways to share our research on the Internet and by other means, we want better software tools for organizing and presenting our research, and we just want to talk with each other and have fun.
