First task...Weed and Seed...instructions

Hello family,

Its been several days since a new post has been added to this message board so here is another one. If you dont know by now then you all should be working on the 'weed and seed' portion of our family project. If you dont know what to do then here's a quick run down:

1) Make a list of all surviving immediately related family members on the Willis side of the family ONLY. This would include:
--legally adopted children
--first cousins (on the Willis side)
--Siblings (born from your parent on the Willis side)
--Immediate Aunts and uncles (siblings of your parent on the Willis side)

2) Make a special note of anyone who has a questionable lineage with the Willis family. An example of questionable lineage would be step kids (or "play cousins") who grew up in a Willis heir's household but didnt get adopted by the heir.

3) Send the weed and seed list to willisfamilygroup@yahoo.com

Thats it! That's all there is to it.

By taking the above very simple first steps, our family can cover alot more ground in genealogy work then what the genealogist can do alone. Thats if everyone works together. By cooperating on this, we can accomplish (as a group of 200/300 family members) alot more in a lot shorter time frame than one individual genealogist.

Although there's a professional genealogist working on our behalf, one person cannot match the efforts of hundreds of people in the same family and working together in an organized manner.
