We are leaving after lunch for our mecca to KS. A lot different than the old story-book destination, eh? The plans are to return on the 25th of June with visitors awaiting us. Then when they leave we head to my father's family reunion on the 1st of July. And of course, there's more company when we return. The point? I won't be available very much until after the first of July. Please hold your correspondence until then. I don't want it to get lost on my server while I am gone. The problems I had last week with copies of blank bio pages being sent out should be corrected. So far I have only heard from 3 of over 300 on the mail list that they recieved these test entries. So I am not sure what went wrong, but the forwarding to the Rootsweb list has been removed. I found the CA birth records online last night and got them processed and loaded before I quit. There are still some links that need to be removed. But I thought you might want to look through them while I was gone. The TX records are online also. I have started on the marriage and divorce records but did not finish them. These, and the birth and death records, will be updated when I return. I was supposed to be converted to DSL service Monday, but the phone lines are messed up. I am realy looking forward to this new, faster service. If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Edie Rodriguez has forced me in to the next era of computing by forcing me to use my IRQ software. IRQ is kin to the old Internet Relay Chat. You can set up a virtual chat room with one, or more, fellow researchers typing and conversing in real time via the web. The software is free at www.irg.com as well as many pages of instruction. It is worth a try. If you want to add your IRQ# to the web site, just send it to me. I will add it to the guest book, researchers pages and the web site list. Finally, I am thinking of discontinuing the Inman Web Site list and going to an Inman Web Ring. A ring is a loose affiliation of web sites that deal with a similar subject. There is a link on the bottom of my main page for the SurnameWeb ring, my host. I would place the Inman ring right there as well. The purpose of the ring is to let people who find our respective pages know that there are more sites dealing with the same subject. And that they can use this ring to contact just those sites. Hopefully, someone searching for the Inman name can anything they want via these links. They will not have to do further searches on the web. They will not have to go looking through the Web Site list, if they even find it. For those Inman researchers who have a web site, please think it over and let me know, after the 1st, if you are interested in joining such a ring. That's all for now. Take care and see you on the other side. --- This email is going to Jim's email list and to the Rootsweb List which is why you might get two copies. Please go to http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/guestlist.html if you wish to be removed from this list. If you have questions you can email me at inman@surnameweb.org.
