Popular genealogy columnist James Beidler has written about the FamilySearch wiki. He states:
"One of the ways that FamilySearch is seeking to collaborate is by leveraging the power of its genealogy wiki - found at the URL wiki.familysearch.org - and encouraging societies, libraries and interested researchers to add to the already impressive store of knowledge on the wiki."
He also wrote:
"As the result of a project - in which the questions fielded by FamilySearch were categorized by type and major ethnic groups for emphasis identified - Pennsylvania is one of the states that the Germanic Section has selected for special emphasis because of the its large population of people with Germanic descent."You can read Beidler's complete article about the FamilySearch wiki at http://goo.gl/7Xu20.
