Our Second Edition So much has been accomplished since our first newsletter in March! Many new pages have been added to the web site, hundreds of ancestors have been identified, dozens of photos have been added and many new researchers have been added. I'm very excited about one of our new features - the Ancestral Database. This feature allows you to search for individuals by surname, first name, middle name, birth year, birth month, birth day, birth country and/or birth state. The Filter Selection Table allows you to filter each of these categories so you can refine your search to the "inth" degree! It also allows something I have not seen on other databases - you can search for words beginning with a specific letter. So far only about 1,000 names have been added to the database, but eventually it is my goal to include every name on the web site - over 43,000 individuals! As you can imagine, this is a very time-consuming project, so please be patient as it will take time to add all the names. Also new to the web site is the Genealogy Links section. This section is listed by category and contains hundreds of links to other web sites with information about births, deaths, obituaries, military records, etc. In the future we will add a section for surnames that will include links to other web sites dedicated to specific surnames. You are encouraged to add links to this section. Here's a list of what's new in the past six months: Please contribute to the newsletter. We are hoping to receive notices of births, deaths, marriages, photographs, research tips, web site links and other items of interest to our researchers. Thank you again for your help and participation. Sandra Branson Young (http://bransoncook.systemaxonline.com) |
