Third-party sites with my genealogy information
The best third-party source of this research is GendexNetwork.org. It’s a relatively small site, though, so you may not find many others working on these same family histories.
I posted my GEDCOM on MyHeritage and WikiTree many years ago, but each of these is miserable to use, in my humble opinion. Still, the (old) information is there, if you prefer these sites for whatever reason, such as finding others working on the same (and related) family histories.
If you want an even slower experience with even older data, try Gencircles.
