Browsers' support of HTML varies greatly. This site has many interactive functions and
your browser must support of passing information from you to the server. I have attempted
to avoid the use of cookies, image maps, java script, frames and other advanced features
to make the site simple to use. It is impossible to support every browser.
AOL's browsers earlier than 3.0 do not support the interactive functions required for
this site. Check with AOL about upgrading your browser.

A good source of information for genealogy research is one of the many mailing lists
available - they are available by surnames, geographical regions, and topics including
some "how to" or "newbee." The Internet Genealogy community is a
helpful bunch. For more information on mailing lists go to
http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/
Gen-Newbie is another good place to
visit for those who are new to computers and/or genealogy, to ask questions, help others,
and generally share information, research techniques, sob stories, brick walls, and
computer woes.
If another person is interested in the family line you are researching, they will email
you directly. Please see What is
Common Threads for further explanation.

before they are posted to the online database. During the review process, I check for
incorrect email addresses and any inappropriate entries. I usually process the entries
between 6-8 PM EST daily. Since I am maintaining this site as a hobby and there is only
myself to complete the review, this schedule varies.
