    3. Phyllis I have been out and done some looking on your website. My personal feelings are: 1. No one should enter anything at this point until we: a. Decide how it should be done I am in agreement about having folders set up for certain individuals because of the amount of information that is available. b. Do we want everyone to enter what they have Perhaps some of the information, such as articles (for instance, I have written several articles on individuals based on family information. That certainly doesn't mean that it is fact). Perhaps some of the articles should be sent to you first since it is your website. We may want to condense the articles, etc for space. c. What are going to be the procedures for entering information My husband has a family website on his information. Everyone pretty much enters all of their information, but they try to keep it to information that they can substantiate. This does limit some of the information, but they also have a folder set up where you may put articles that individuals have written that may or may not be factual, but for information purposes only. One thing for sure, we certainly don't want to confuse your website. That is my real concern. I certainly agree that we should set up a folder for individuals that contain or could contain a lot of information to ascertain that it stays with the correct individual. Do you know what the limitations would be on this file? For instance, I have some court records, divorce records, marriage records, etc. This information would of course be of interest to all, but it does take up a great deal of space. My suggestion would be to make it available to all whom are interested, but perhaps we should just scan that information and e-mail it direct to those who would like to have it. I am certainly open for suggestions and it is your website and we need to respect this website. I have done extensive research on Mosias and do have a great deal of information which would be of interest to a number of individuals, but perhaps we should look at it as a person to person if it is going to use a great deal of space. I also have some pictures of tombstone markers, etc. and this does take up a great deal of space. We may want to limit and perhaps may want to be selective of some of the additional items to reserve space for everyone to contribute their line and make this a wonderful site for the Maupin line. I still want to study the site some more and may have more concerns, but you have done a wonderful job. Thanks for letting me be a part of this website.
