    3. Greetings again to all of the Inman researchers. I just wanted to let you know the status on a few items. The site is now operating on the new web server. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the new URL. Please change your bookmarks if you have any set to this site. It will increase your download time because you will not be going through the main gate at Surnameweb. The new URL is technically a side door entrance used by less people therefore it is faster. In making all of the corrections to the scripts and web pages, I found that the message board's auto notification feature had been damaged. For those that had signed up to be notified when new messages were posted, you might want to go back and try to sign up again. Or you can let me know and I can add your name to the list. All of the links in the database have been changed to the new URL. They should all be working. Hopefully I have not erased, or overwritten, any links that you might have put in. Feel free to check and add links to the database web pages if necessary. For subscribers to the Rootsweb list, you should now be receiving copies of new entries to the Guest Book. There were 3 new entries last week. If you are not getting these copies, please let me, or Barabara Beall, know so we can check on the problem. There are now 296 photos in the Photo Album. I just received 7 photos on the family of Leroy D. Inman. Search for Phyllis Davis in the Photo Album. The notes from his Family Bible are now on the DOCUMENTS|Wills page. I am changing the setup in the database for easier reading. The ID# is back and larger. I have added some color for easier sighting. And the whole page now displays in BOLD print for those of us with fading eyesight. Finally, I have just added two more gedcoms, bringing the total number of names to 46,607. The newest additions are from: 1) The KY Inmans who moved to IN. 2) The NE line that intermarried with the Whipples, Smiths and Angells. I put in a lot of those names. The most interesting part is the marriage of Mary Ann Angell to Brigham Young, the Mormon leader. For those interested, his page is: http://inman.surnameweb.org/scripts/igmget.cgi/n=Inman?I45711 The next changes to the database are: 1) I am moving the "nicknames" from the top line to a notes line below the ID#. 2) I am going to start moving obits out of the message files into the Abstracts area. The data file is now over 10 MB. This move will decrease this file, allow it to upload faster and make smaller web pages in the database. For every article moved a link will be created on the web page that takes you to the new site of the article. If an article on one of your family disappears without a link being added, please let me know. Thanks again for everyones help and support. -- Jim Williams - Please update your bookmarks to the links below. --> Shortcuts to The Inman Compendium <-- Main page - http://inman.surnameweb.org/index.htm Submit a Bio - http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/biopage.htm Database - http://inman.surnameweb.org/database.htm Photo Album - http://inman.surnameweb.org/contact.htm
