Another frequent contributor, Lisa A. Alzo, suggests you Become an Interactive Genealogist! using resources such as Fold3 Memorial pages (formerly Footnote Pages), family websites, Google alerts, an array of social networks, and more. There's mention of Google+, and latter in the issue a whole article, The Promise of Google+, by Google genealogy specialist Dan Lynch.
