Family History GedCom Search (http://www.dhc.net/~design/gedcom/indxpage.htm) is a new creation from Design Software. They are the makers of Family Census Research and the soon to be released Aspen 2000, a new database for cemeteries, funeral homes and obituary records. Family History GedCom Search is the brain child born from numerous e-mails wishing that Design Software would create Web pages. So that sat down and began to think just how they could accomplish this. And they have come up with a wonderful system. You supply them with a GEDCOM file and a scanned image (that will be used on the main page) and they will create a first rate Web site of your family history, which they will then place on their site. Best of all, this service is available for free. And once your page has been created and uploaded, it is then part of their database, making it searchable. Of particular interest to me as I inspected their currently available pages was that they had taken into consideration the issue of privacy. Those individuals who are still living are protected to a certain degree. While the names are still listed, all other information is hidden behind a LIVING tag. This is important in today's society. More and more, in the online genealogy world, this subject is discussed. To be able to view these family pages, your Web browser must support Java Applets. This is due to the fact that parts of the pages rely heavily on Java applets, especially the search capabilities. This is just one of the ways in which individuals can place their family history online. If you are not comfortable working with one of the Web Page creation programs, then this is the easiest way to create your Web page. It is likely that you have created a GEDCOM or scanned a picture. If you can do these two things and send e-mail, then you are all set for creating a family history Web site. --part1_0.66995ae9.25365cc7_boundary--
