    3. Folks, please be patient with me. If your contributions don't show up right away, that means I'm busy adding data that arrived before yours. I'm adding as I have time to format the info for the web pages. I now have over 50 new researcher additions, mostly for just Email Addresses, but don't let that dissuade you from sending in your entries. I'll get to them as quickly as I can. For those who want to see what has been added, I would suggest that you just go to the main page for researchers and click on the various surname links from there: <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/address.html> I'm slowly changing the format over so that each person's descendant line is shown a columnar format instead of just typed all on one line. Thanks to an astute cousin of ours, I tried out the columnar format and it IS much better. It allows users to glance at the descendant list and see if their line/branch is represented. Also, I slightly increased the size of the text in the columns to make it a little easier for us older folks to read. I can't make the text any larger without having it wrap all the way to the left for those who use 640 x 480 screen resolutions; some lines are even wrapped at 800 x 600 for long lines. Makes it look messy and ugly. A word about your submissions. I don't need dates or places, UNLESS a date is absolutely necessary. For example, where there were more than one person in the branch/line with the same name, and adding something like "1742 John YAGER" or "1735 John YAGER" would avoid confusion.. All there is room for is the ancestor's name and his/her spouse, normally. Keep in mind that some pages haven't been converted to the new format; some pages have some of the new format and some of the old. I'm working on it as I deal with the various surname pages. AGAIN, we need spouses included with the ancestor descent line. And, for Heaven's Sake, don't send just "Researching the HOLTZCLAW Line", or "Researching Jacob HOLTZCLAW", etc. Thanks , SgtGeorge George W.
