News

I am looking around for a new web hosting service.

I am quite content with the service level of our current host, but not with the amount of space. Even with outsourcing the images, we are bumping up against it with the GEDCOM taking nearly half the available space. There are some reasonable hosting services that should provide a similar level of support and also allow me to grow the site up to a gigabyte or so for the same money.

I am playing with content management systems (CMS) that would step things forward with a unified log in instead of patching things together. I am content with what I have done with the site, but a CMS system would be easier to update and also allow me to delegate some tasks to others with regards to adding new content.

As always, when there is no new content, then there is nothing to update. Please send me news, articles, recipes, etc.

I have not heard anything new about the cemetery committee.

I have not heard anything new about planning another reunion down the road.

I have not heard about anyone taking new and interesting genealogy trips.

What is happening with the Y-DNA project?

Please also visit the forums and post family news there yourself. That is what it is there for. If your corner of the family has a lot of news, then I can even give you your own section of the forum.

I have recently received a few new items of interest and had some help adding captions to some of the photographs.

The new information should be appearing on the site in the next week or so. I also expect a new GEDCOM update to go up soon as well. I will update these announcements when I have that done.

If you have visited any home places, please let us know by sending in a description of your experience, and maybe a few photos.

This website is happily, if slowly, growing.
