Wikis - the encyclopedias of the Internet

It looks like wikis are springing up everywhere to export knowledge, facts and fiction. Wikis seem to have become facilitators in the explosion of what is to know out there. I have found that not only libraries make use of them, but so do cities, schools, museums. One can find recipe wikis, travel and famous person wikis, you name it.

I am personally envolved with familysearch wikis. If you are into genealogy and need to find some ideas of how to research your ancestors, this is the site to come to! http://wiki.familysearch.org/ has thousands of articles and research helps to get you started in genealogy or to help you break through some seemingly impossible problems. Suggestions and guidelines come from professional genealogists who know how to do research. Trust them, they know what they are talking about.

James Dean (1931 - 1955) - Find A Grave Memorial

James Dean (1931 - 1955) - Find A Grave Memorial
Hi,

I found a burial site for the actor James Dean. I always thought he was buried in CA, but is actually interred in Indiana. I remember when he died in 1955 how the young girls cried and wailed. He certainly was something everybody seemed to admire. Free, young and his own man. A totally new concept, especially in Germany. In case you do not know who I am talking about, here is a picture. Well, I gave you the URL for finding over millions of graves. In case you need to ever find someone, you can try this site.
