I know the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I’ve been intending to update my genealogy site for more than a decade. I created it in the early 2000s, back when sites were html, not mobile friendly (few had mobile devices!), and sometimes, a bit unwieldy. Over the years, I’ve found new … Read more
The old tree was from more than 20 years ago, so I took about an hour tonight to publish a new one. I use Reunion on the Mac and I love it. It’s extremely user-friendly. The report includes 4095 families. It probably needs some cleanup, but it will do for now. See the tree here.
I’m trying to take short jaunts on this journey to revamp the website. If I take baby steps every so often, it’ll be done before I know it. Today is Sunday (not that weekends mean much to a retiree), but I normally do my NYT Sunday puzzle while eating brunch. It’s 3:30 and I’ve been … Read more

I’ve found it almost impossible to keep track of all my research data. I’m thrilled that I keep discovering more and more about my ancestors, but all these piles just keep on growing. Another problem developed with my website. I started with one or two pages and it kept evolving. I didn’t have a good … Read more
I worked on the site for about 5 hours today and it is beginning to shape up. I renamed all 250-some pictures with a good organizational scheme. I made a navigation bar that I’m happy with, after alot of trial and error. I updated every page and renamed them all. I’m very excited about the … Read more
