She had them in Word format with lousy formatting. I should probably import them into a database program or simply a text file that I can put into a HTML page.

I do have space on my own site but since I have only a slight connection to Bay County, Florida, that might make it hard to find. Though Google found some files I had put on my site but never indexed so I suspect Google would locate the information soon enough!

My own site was started for my farm but now I am mostly using it to post family photos - not only recent ones but the old ones that got back over the last 150 years or so. My husband and I have become the repository for all the family genealogy, photos, and records. My goal is to get it online before I die and figure out someway to keep it going afterwards.
