Thinking About Posting Updates

Over the years I shared many genealogy reports on the Internet.  They are stored all over the place. That happened because I was curious about how different storage methods would work. You can use the sidebar links on this blog to find much of what I shared.

The quality of the report formats varies because, over time, the genealogy report capabilities improved.

This morning I've been thinking about the effort it would take to create updated versions of these reports and upload them again.  This thought came to mind because I found a report created by another researcher in January 2000.  I'm certain that this person is still working on genealogy because I find more current information posted on FindAGrave.

I didn't come to any conclusion about whether I want to address my own issue of reports created long ago. There is never a shortage of genealogy projects to undertake.

Mr. Dickie's Links

For several years I used a free service called, Delicious, to share links (URLs) to webpages that interested me. Another term for this process is, Bookmarking. Recently, much to my dismay, I discovered that Delicious had been shut down.

To resume bookmarking, that can be shared in the cloud, I have created a Google blog, called Mr. Dickie's Links.  I will not be restricting posts to the blog solely to genealogy.

If you visit the blog, use the sidebar on the left to help you find topics of interest. Scroll down to see links to the latest posts.  The topics are called "labels" by Google.  The number of characters available for labels with each post is two hundred.  The labels are what you see in the sidebar.  The labels I assign to a particular post appear at the bottom of the individual posts.  In the sidebar, if I have used a label more than once a count appears in parentheses after the label.  You can click on a label at the bottom of a post to display all posts in the blog where I have assigned that label or you can click on the label in the sidebar.

When I include a hot-link within a post it appears in blue on the screen. If you hover the mouse over a link, the color changes to orange.  Click on the click to view the page associated with the link.

BTW, I am open to suggestions for adding genealogy links to the blog.

Here's the link to:

Tennant Family of West Virginia

For months I've been working on the Tennant family of West Virginia. The compiled information is in my RootsMagic7 genealogy file.  If you are interested in exchanging information please contact me.

Rick Tennant of Follansbee, WV created a very nice 429-page website, The Tennant and Allied Families in West Virginia about the family.

Below are three links to the website.

Wykert Family

Here are links to seven pages on this blog about the Wykert family of West Virginia and points west.

Wykert - 1

Wykert - 2

Wykert - 3

Wykert - 4

Wykert - 5

Wykert - 6

Wykert - 7

Note: This was a test to see how easy it would be to create a page that links to other pages on this blog.  You could also find the seven pages yourself by using the Search box in the right hand sidebar or the Labels that appear at the bottom of each page.  Labels works better than Search in this case.

I thought this might be a nice way to prepare a summary page, making it easier for a reader to find things.

Use your browser back key to return to this page from any of the seven links.

Try the Print Friendly button at the bottom of each page if you want to print out the information. You can also download a PDF and Email a copy of the page with Print Friendly.

Okey Family of Monroe County, Ohio

Today I added a set of eleven links to Okey family information on the Collateral Families page of the HenthornFamily Wiki. This will make it easier for anyone interested in the Okey family to find the information I shared.

New Posts On HenthornFamily Wiki

Additional links to "Collateral Families" posted yesterday and today to the HenthornFamily Wiki. Look for "Cresap" and "Powell."

I'm enjoying how I can use the Wiki to present my information in a more organized (I hope) manner. I have files stored all over the Internet and I have links to the files of others. I discovered a few broken links to pages shared by other researchers.  I deleted the broken links from my posts. (You are always welcome to inform me of any broken links you encounter on my pages.)

FreePages Project

FreePages Project

This morning I posted a link to the Civil War Diary of William Lock Henthorn on the HenthornFamily Wiki.  I create a new page, Stories, on the Wiki where links to stories will be posted.  Look for Stories in the left hand column.  The Civil War Diary file resides in my FreePages space on RootsWeb.  When you view the webpage you'll discover that there is a navigation button at the bottom of the page which you can click to return to the Stories page on the wiki.

To assist in navigation from by Google blogs a link to the HenthornFamily Wiki was added to the sidebar "Links" area of the four blogs.

As time and my interest permit I plan to upload other files, created prior to the Fall of 2008, to the Internet thus making them available once again to anyone who's interested.

As always your feedback is welcome.

GEDCOM Revisited

On July 12th I posted some GEDCOM URLs. Today I'm revisiting the topic. I think most of the websites listed today weren't in those listed in mid-July.

If you visit any of these sites and find something of interest to people who might be visiting my website please send me an Email with the URL. I'll post it in a future "news" message.
