The "Down-Low" on "What's Up"!!                                               2016 10 01
Working The Plan...                                                                        Published Monthly


Such As It Is...

The tedious or mundane work that accompanies any plan can be overwhelming.
Issues needing technical resolutions and supports often take seemingly endless durations.
Such was the course for this month and for what appears to be the next several upcoming months.

Why Is That?
The end result and true goal of course includes it's supporting structure.
Along the way, various additions to the tree (Or website) present themselves.

When an idea is found, it's value must be weighed before deciding whether or not to implement it.
If it is accepted, implementation methods must be discovered for its integration into the site.
Methods must be finalized before begining integration to avoid un-necessary re-starts.


What's The Big Idea?
Interactive communication links from every page!
Each individual in the tree now has several new links!

A new simpler way of enabling you (The User) to communicate .
Links are added for corrections or additional information from users.

That's not to say reposting is automatic by users-obviously not a good idea.
All submissions will be reviewed for accuracy before being published to the tree.


Is The Idea Really That Important?
Absolutely! Everyone has something to offer!
Whether simple verification or totally new information!

Additionally, it's something of a "checks-and-balances" system.
Without that, it becomes far too easy for an entity to drift from reality.

The goal is to present factual information in a concise manner that users can follow.
Any "speculative" data must be supported by sound reasoning and be openly defined as such.


So Where Does This Leave Us?
There is much catch-up work to do before adding more individuals to the tree.
This will happen each and every time a new idea emerges and proves itself worthy.

It's important that users feel a comfort on every page so they know what to expect on each one.
We move as a unit together, bringing new users up to speed with the others as quickly as possible.



Monthly Reports & More...
Check The Family Tree Report and The Census Report for monthly updates-Try The Family Tree Demo
For independant searches, verifying your findings or census reprints the Census CD's are recomended.

When you're ready to add the support to do your own verifying, purchase the census files on CD's.
Because verifying is the key to accuracy, and accuracy is what makes your tree valid.
Good luck, have fun and enjoy!

Improving The Website...

Sometimes, it may take days and days just to make a very small item work properly on the web.
With each improvement comes much "Behind the scenes" work and a real sense of accomplishment.
So this is the where even minor adjustments get to shine in the spotlight for their 15 minutes of fame!


Genealogy 101 Layout...

A small but helpful change made to the Genealogy 101 pages!
There's no telling which lesson people will find first on the internet.
So a new link on each page has been added to go back to all lesson links!

Because this is so importantant, it has also been added to previous lessons.
Normally earlier pages are left as published, but readers may find the link useful.
The quicklink back to all lessons is in the words already at the top "Published Monthly".

So useful it's now also done to the Newsletter page sou you can quickly view past newsletters!


As ideas and knowledge grow, so will the site.
Let's have some input!
