This week I have added one that has many many useful NA and Choctaw sites. They were sent to me by our new Canadian friend Paul-Pierre Canal. go to: *Choctaw Tears, RionWillhelm's Native Page * Choctaw.com, a list of websites * A fantastic resource list for the Choctaw Nation * Choctaw Language, this is under construction but bookmark for later * Red Hawk 34's page *Kim's Teepee of recipe, prayer, stickball and more * The Choctaw First Nation Unofficial Support Site. These are all on the Trails page, along with many others, at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~trails.htm Use Internet Explorer with Census I have received more than a few messages from visitors this week that they could not view my census pages. Please read the note on the pages that says BEST VIEWED WITH INTERNET EXPLORER. I have made this note a little more emphatic. I guess that since Microsoft Frontpage 2000 is used to construct my web pages, Netscape just won't acknowledge them. You can download IE for free at its website. I haven't gotten much genealogy done and have been referring your questions to the Choctaw List or my website while I am transcribing and updating the site. Please be patient and know that helping people is my main priority. I believe doing it this way helps the greater number. I hope to get back to research soon. Also, I haved been added the names of those who are requesting help or lookups to this update/newsletter. Please let me know if you receive duplicates and which list you wish to be unsubscribed from.
