Dear AUSTIN List and Friends, After years of pulling my many lineages together, including AUSTIN, I've finally gotten my act together and have launched my new web site. But this one is different! I pondered over it for "years" because, I had so many lines that were well worked, that I didn't want to put up a "one name" site. I also thought of putting up a site just exclusively for my own lines, but I have had so much fun and success in sharing that I went "whole hog". I'm officially announcing "GenTime" at: http://www.gentime.com. It is a "full service" stop where you can dig into and submit to 32 categories and 6 indexes. The site is open for anyone to post their info to, regardless of the name. Since it is all of 10 days old, I am in the process of up-loading my own submissions to it, but I welcome any of you who wish to submit to it. If you visit the site, and I hope you do at least give it one "looksee", and wish to submit anything to it, "submit" buttons are conveniently located everywhere. This will take you to a page that will have short directions for submitting various intems. Some of the site is not working yet; my SIMS newsletter is not archived for downloading, yet, and the search ingines are still being constructed as well as the query posting. But the rest is "alive and well" and waiting for your visit and any submissions you wish to engage in. In time I'm sure that there will be plenty to look at there as more and more gets posted to it. You can watch this happen by simply checking out the "Site Category Index" page. After each category link listed is a bracketed number. These numbers indicate how many documents are held in that category. From visit to visit you will see these numbers increase. It's growing! Hope you pay a visit and enjoy what you see. Sincerely, Cynthia SIMS Kirkland P.S. I'll be posting this to my other lists, just in case you see it again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit my genealogy web site, GenTime.com: http://www.gentime,com open to all name submissions.
