Hello,ALL, I am still waiting for Surname web to set up the scripts(programmes) for running the Database section of the Project. 1) a)Using the Surname template for setting up a Surname Center I have set up the suggested layout for the site,I emphasise, SUGGESTED. It is at:- www.surnameweb.org/centers/c/chase/index.html Please have a look and also at the links which contain comments from both Surnameweb and myself that you should all be aware of. b) When it is set up I hope you will all add your names to the researcher page. DO NOT send anything yet. 2) a) For all those intending to contribute gedcoms and family tres. I would appreciate it if all databases with more than 15 names be submitted as gedcom files. All others can be submitted as plain text. b) INITIALLY it is intended that any gedcom file with more than 100 names will have its own database within the Database section. This will allow me to work on the task of merging them while the information is available generally. The objective is to create a CHASE database of people with CHASE blood and their spouses and parents of their spouses. If we were to include the complete families of spouses the database would be enormous and not what I believe we set out to do. c) To enable enquirers who visit the site to contact those with details of spouses families I have a utility which allows the addition of a Note to every individual in a gedcom file. c) When sending gedcom files,either by, email,(prefered), or on a floppy disk Please ensure the file is NOT named Chase.ged Using any other name or initials would ensure that there are not 2 files with the same name. d) Please state what message you would like added to each page i.e name and email address or WWW site or anyother BRIEF message of your choice. Remember once the Database is set up you will be able to add email addresses and links direct to your own WWW page.( See my email of yesterday ). Should you wish to add the Note to your gedcom file yourself I can send a copy of the Sharewb utility that does this. I recommend,STRONGLY,that all submitting gedcoms add or have me add such a note. Thanks, Keith hume
