Business/Announcements

 * Surname pages on the wiki. Do we want to add surname pages to the wiki to both help researchers with knowledge about the origin of their ancestral surnames as well as listing well-known individuals with that surname complete with links about them on resource sites?


 * A rough example of a surname page is found here.
 * A similar page is found on Wikipeida here.
 * The proposal is to use the pages to also elicit more user visits to the wiki and use of both the wiki and records on FamilySearch and related sites.
 * The surname feature may need to be considered as a permanent fixture on the main page. The concept should be considered before the final new Main page design is selected.
