FAM*WISE is a comprehensive online genealogy research and collaboration application that allows individuals and families to manage their research, set their goals, and work together to achieve them. It is not desktop-based, rather it is delivered via the world wide web. This delivery method allows for more flexible access, more rapid updates, and easier collaboration between researchers.
The application is part of a new area in genealogy technology - Research Management. Applications like Clooz and FAM*WISE offer genealogists the opportunity to track and manage theories, documents, and potential linkages before they are considered "facts".
