Once upon a time, genealogists would put together small packages of information with a letter to relatives for help filling in missing information. The cost could become astronomical and the frustration through the roof! at the lack of response.
Now it's possible to put the same information together, the same letter for help, but you can put the information out on a blog such as this or the upcoming ArtisticAncestry.com to share with family members and to ask if they have any of the missing information.
Technology is available and wonderful, so use it! Take advantage of the options it has to offer.
