My mom’s side of the family has a VERY complicated family tree. She grew up in Morocco and things were just…different!

She is one of six girls and two half brothers. She is one of three sisters still alive. No half brothers alive. My cousins are spread out all over the world - France, Israel, Belgium, Montreal, many coast to coast in the U.S., etc. I found out very recently that a not too distant cousin is a very important person in Paris government!

There is some friendly discussion going on on FB about the history of the family - different people know bits and pieces. I have suggested one cousin who has lots of knowledge start a family FB page or a family tree. She says she’d love to but is tech challenged.

I’m wondering if there is some website/tool we could use that multiple people in the family could have access to, add to, perhaps make comments on, etc. MUST. BE. SIMPLE. MUST. BE. SIMPLE. May be good if it could be multi-lingual.

I think we are foolish not to take advantage of the knowledge and memories of the three sisters still alive. I also admit that history and knowing this stuff is not my bag. But it is for others in the family and I’d love to have it - I just don’t want to do too much work to seek it - but others will.

Any suggestions???
