However, that is not a good place to put your information. I plan to put my tree info on World Connect when it is 90%+ complete. That is the best place for tree info. You can then create a link to your info on your web page to your World connect info. Freepages is best for pictures, descriptions and explanations. I am fortunate that I have information of interest to the general public. I try make each page a full explanation of a topic. Then these can be linked from other sites such as Wikipedia. Here are 2, http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~redmurdock/KnappsTavern.html or http://freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~redmurdock/LutherMesnard.html. They are not works of art but hopefully informative. My intent is that these pages will last for some time without maintenance so they are just HTML.
