    3. Hi All, In order to make improvements to the site we have moved to our own rootsweb site.We were in the Canada rootsweb site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nsdigby/index.htm ------------------------ We now have our own obituaries (currently at 175) they are indexed by: obit name; surnames included in obit; date Don't forget to check the "obits not yet indexed link." I hope to index these once a week. Please post any obits you have, you must have a date and you can also send me a picture (.jpg) to be included if you wish. -------------------------------- Most of the pages in the Digby site have a navigation buttons at the top of the pages to make things easier. ------------------------------------ We now have a DIGBY COUNTY researchers site. Please fill in the form for each surname you have IN DIGBY COUNTY. Don't forget to include your URL if you have one. This will be searchable by Surname alphabet list when we have more names entered using the form. This will make it easier to find who else is researching the same surnames you are in Digby County. ---------------------------------- The graphics have been removed from the Home page to make it download faster. They will be used elsewhere on the site. ----------------------------------- We now have a guestbook. So that I can hear your opinions, and suggestions.... ---------------------------------- The search engine has been updated and works better. We have 511 pages indexed and searchable. --------------------------------- I would like to thank Luella Marshall for helping to work the bugs out of the new obit pages, and for posting more obits. ----------------------------- As with any improvements made on a web site, I am sure there are broken links still there. Please send me a email to let me know if you find one (or more).:>)) There will be some on the Researchers site until we have surnames entered. ----------------------------------- We have 60 people receiving the Digby mailing list. If you need help ask... Send your email to [email protected] --------------------------- And those of you who did not receive a reply from me lately I am sorry about the delay. I hope these improvements help with your search...
