If you would like to compile a written family history, to be included on this web page, please send the information to as a straight text file (.txt), if at all possible. I am sorry, but GEDCOM files cannot be accepted, because they take up too much room on the server. I would also be glad to add a link to your family web page, instead of a written family history, or even as part of a written family history.

You will have the copyright to all information that you submit. It is very important that you do not include any information that someone else owns a copyright to, without their permission.

DO NOT INCLUDE INFORMATION ON LIVING INDIVIDUALS. The right to privacy should be taken seriously.

If you decide to submit your information, and then find that you need to edit it, add to it, or even remove it, that can be easily arranged. Just send a new replacement file (or corrections, if there are just a couple), or ask that the file be removed completely.

To make things a little easier on me, please try to keep your information limited to 2 or 3 generations per file, if you are submitting your information in the form of an outline tree, or something similar, (but without all the indentations, please!), such as is created using a genealogy program. From there, I can add a link to more pages, from the first page, for subsequent generations, pictures, notes, or other items. If your file is just a written story of your family, you may make it any length that you wish.

If you have any questions, let me know! I can direct you to other web pages to look at, for examples of what you may want to include, or how you may want your information to look.

These guidelines are subject to change, if necessary. If you have any suggestions, I would like to hear them!
