The reason for a membership type site is for privacy issues. I would like to offer a place for those who would like to share their info, addresses, birthdates, photos etc with other living relatives so we can all get back in touch with one another again and also to get to know other relatives. So those who would like to participate can sign up and get a user id to login.
It would be a great way to share documents too. (Figuring out how to do a membership site will take some time as right now I have no clue as to how to do it.) Another great thing would be the ability for everyone to list their phone, address, email, facebook, ancestry sites etc. now that we all live so far apart from one another.
Within the site then one could also release articles, special announcements etc., like traditional membership sites. Now if there was just a way that I didn't need the day job and could spend my days doing research, scrapbooking and creating a membership site - I would be heaven. As that is not the case, it'll take me longer to become a certified genealogist, to get all the research done, to be able to get all those craft projects done and create the website. Guess I have quite a few rainy day projects aheld of me - I can say that I will never be bored.
