RE: Steem Use Cases: If the Blockchain is so PERMANENT, Why Isn't Someone Creating a Genealogy App?
I look at the tireless efforts of @len.george in posting/documenting NZ military history stats, then Maori folklore. He hasn't posted in a while, maybe he's done what he came to do, but all of that information is now preserved the best way we know how; and it is a massive amount of information.
Ah yes, I remember seeing his posts @mattclarke. And that's a really good example of using the Steem blockchain for "archival preservation." I could well imagine people interested in genealogy doing that for their families and family histories. One of the "weaknesses" of many conventional genealogy sites is that the amount of information you can record about a person/image is is often quite limited (500 characters, 1000 characters) so a genealogy app here could allow for the expansion of that.
Hard luck, he's back.
the computer went on a "no go" so I have been waiting for my son to set up its replacement, and as you can see, it is running.
next thing is NZ shipwrecks. and there is lots of them
Great news, and an excellent topic.
The history books claim about 3,000 wrecks around the NZ coast, so far I have only found about 18-1900,
Something for someone else to pick up and finish sometime.
