Show ancestors who lived at certain points in history.

As suggested by Jodi Faulkner: "Connecting the family to what was going on in history at in their lifetime helps. It’s amazing when you discover that there is a Thomas Tolman mentioned in George Washington’s writings. He was mention several times one with delivering payroll to the troops taking orders from Washington himself. Not just what census gives you. But really make history come alive. What neater way to help with school reports than to go in put a personal spin on it. Include maps of the times indicating where they were born, lived and died."

Create a photo album of ancestors.

My family would love to have access to quality photos of our ancestors. This would be the perfect venue for doing so.

Publish project details, and possibly allow long-distance work.

From Mike Tolman: "If there are that many projects to do, put a description of them on the website and what is needed. If they can be done long distance (i.e. transcription, digitizing, etc) then package them up and we can sign up to do them."

Tolman Family Summer School

I have a few suggestions about how to get the younger generation and even the younger, younger generations involved. I love sharing stories with my children about family history and taking them to see historical sites. Is there a way we could do something monthly or weekly during the summer while kids are out of school, through the newsletter (which I have not subscribed to yet, but will) or the website or this FB page where we have some sort of story or fact or something interesting about an ancestor? I was reading someones post down on this page and it said something about Thomas Tolman being mentiond in George Washington's writings. I would love to be able to tell my children more about that story. What if we had some sort of "Tolman Family Summer School" where we gave that info out weekly (just short snippets to keep little ones interested) and then at the end of summer had a big gathering at Tolman Family Park? Also if there is a list of Historical places for the Tolman family that I could take my kids to see this summer that would be fun. If we did the summer school thing, maybe you could open up the Family Center one day and let kids come through and see the pictures and info inside.

Also just keeping the Facebook
group fresh with activity. Maybe posting some fact on it weekly or a picture a week or something like that?

Design another skin for the website.

If you understand and enjoy internet design, then you could create
your own styling for this website. We've tried to conform to a
standard set of CSS classes and IDs, so we think it could be easy to
make your own design for it. Take a look at the top of our CSS file: http://thomas.tolmanfamily.org/css/style.css
