A VERY BIG THANK YOU to all who replied so quickly to my cry for help. I hope I have included you all in my TO list - I've only opened 'personally addressed' mail today and no *rootweb mails yet as I've been too busy working on my website. I've now added some more carefully chosen keywords to my Index page - which I've built with LEGACY so its put them in for me as META Tags. I had a problem initially as my husband and I have no common descendant so I couldn't simply build a single ancestral chart so my initial attempt was to combine two Ancestral charts together - a good experience from seeing how web pages connect together but I had a problem with some hyperlinks as I had capitalised some files when I renamed them ! An 'inspiration' gave us a joint child to build a common ancestry - this is Tinka the dog - but hes now just a dot on the chart ! I've rebuilt the site using a different format, Pedigree instead of Ancestral and had a little play to customize it a bit and its now loading up. I also removed all my notes as there are so many in there, as I scrape in lots of odds and ends and working notes, that it was difficult to see the wood for the trees. Hopefully it will be OK this time. Once I've checked the website works OK I will study all the advice you have given me about registering with the search engines and hopefully soon my family will be findable to everyone. Regards Joy PS. My poor brother in law. My sister was so fascinated reading about all her ancestors today she spent all day on the web and didnt get anything else done !
