[[Sharing: a good way to FIND ancestors|Sharing]] lets the world know what you have accomplished. Sharing is the friendly and descent thing to do—it sets a good example and could lead to further discoveries. It gives your peers a chance to evaluate your work and give constructive suggestions for improvement. Your well-documented research lays a foundation on which the next generation of researchers can build. Sharing sometimes helps unite otherwise fragmented extended families. If you know others will see your work, you will tend to do higher quality work. It gives authors you cite in your sources further recognition and credit for what they did. | [[Sharing: a good way to FIND ancestors|Sharing]] lets the world know what you have accomplished.
