Sep 9	comment	Genealogy & Family History: How do I research common names like Smith? So I know they are my Smith's when you have two families with parents with same forenames in an area. I think the original wording is understandable and ok.

Sep 5	comment	Genealogy & Family History: What is the best way to archive/preserve my genealogy data that's in my computer program? @david.tanner - yes, I think the questions reaching 10 initially seed the beta.
Sep 2	comment	Genealogy & Family History: My cousin has the genealogy information I need but refuses to share it. How should I deal with this? Well, to me this is a legitimate question that people could have. I'd give a response like "Maybe your cousin wants to ensure the data is kept private, and is afraid you will publish it everywhere." But if you downvote a question or vote to close it, please add a comment as to why you are doing that, so we can all learn what makes a question good for the Q&A forum.
