In 1999, the Atlas family tree had 400 members and had just established itself as an online presence. Now, the family tree has over 3,000 members and the website has blossomed into several endeavors. This is due to the continual research and communicative efforts that are made to grow the Atlas family tree and it’s resources.
These efforts and resources are:
- Receiving updates from family members via interviews, documents they provide, email, etc.
- Internet research, such as through Ancestry.Com, FamilySearch, public records, Google, etc.
- Research trips to locations that family members have inhabited.
- Adding new media, such as a blog, a YouTube channel and using social media such as Facebook which can be used to locate family members, keep in contact or to share information
