Hello All! In order for our home page to load more quickly I have greatly reduced the size of graphics and otherwise made the page more compact. The page should load much more quickly on your browser. Go to this URL: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/2343/ In an attempt to improve the page I am looking for suggestions. What would you like to see added. For example I could add a page where members could have their lines of ancestors posted. If you have some special genealogy Internet links which you feel are exceptional, please send them to me and I will add them to our "Links" Page. Some other Family Home pages have some nice features. If you see any which we could "borrow", please let me know about them. An interesting feature of our page is the guest book.Our Guest Book where people have added little messages for everyone to see. In the last 11 months we have 94 entries. It is interesting to see how many Aldrichs are looking for family information. We one of our entries is from an Aldrich in South Africa. I am in the process of sending a welcome message to all signers of our Guest Book, inviting them to join our Roots-L list and to become members of the National Aldrich Association. I look forward to your replies. John Aldrich, Portsmouth RI , President, NAA National Aldrich Association Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/2343/ e-mail: jaldrich@wsii.com
