Smallish Post 9/30

It was very interesting to see the progression of family history work and technology in the articles read. Something I find interesting about this community created on family search is that it is completely regulated by the users in terms of what information and names are put on the site. When adding a new name or making a new connection, users are always encouraged to provide documents or pictures to clearly identify the person and it is. This is then verified by other users. But who is to say whether or not it is accurate? The users of family search really become the experts in this field of determining whether they have found the person they are looking for. There isn't any higher authority that can give the final say on this. I think it is very interesting because it is different from other fields of research that typically have a small group of people who are very knowledgeable and can be relied upon to settle any disputes.
