I'm resending this as it doesn't seem to have gone thru the first time... -----Original Message----- From: DBS &/or MD <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 09, 1998 6:05 PM Subject: STRONG GENEALOGICAL NETWORK BIOGRAPHICAL AND ANECDOTAL SITE >Hi Bill Strong (Garcia)! > >Thanks for volunteering to host a Strong Genealogical Network site! I took >a look at your site, and have some suggestions, if you want to go ahead with >development of a "Biographical and Anecdotal Website" for the Strong >Genealogical Network. > >I suggest you look at the general qualifications for a website that is part >of the SGN... William L. "Bill" Strong has posted them on the Strong >Genelogical Network home page at: > >http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5744/ > >You will note that the website should be "generic"... that is, of interest >to everyone. Therefore, it would seem proper to prepare a webpage that >would be an "Introduction and Table of Contents" to the materials included >in the Biographical and Anecdotal site. Naturally, you could have a link to >this page from your own introductory page, but this page would be the one >that would be referenced by the rest of the SGN when advising of the >material. > >My concept of the Table of Contents would be simply that it might start out >by being alphabetical, but some other organization might appear later, as >the material grows. The Table of Contents would then "hot-link" to other >pages where biographical or anecdotal material is reproduced. The other >pages would be of two types. First, material that is already published on >the Web, such as "Life in A Newfoundland Fishing Village" by John H. Strong, >which can be found at: >http://home.earthlink.net/~lkstrong/Fishing.htm > >All that would be needed on your "B and A" Table of Contents page would >identification of the material and a hotlink to the above page. > >Second, material like Wilma Fleming Haynes' material which started this >discussion. Here, with her permission, you would probably want to edit the >material for any spelling errors or add any explanatory notes necessary to >set the context of the material, and then post the material on your website >as a separate page, with an appropriate hotlink from the B and A Table of >Contents. > >It would probably be desireable and necessary to protect the respective >authors of each piece with acknowledgment of their authorship and notice of >copywrite. BoB Strong might have some excellent suggestions about policies >and procedures for doing this. > >It would also be a good idea to have a general "disclaimer" of >responsibility for the accuracy of the information in the respective pages >referred to... BoB Strong has a good section on that as well. > >You would want to have links back to the other sites on the SGN, and links >to the authors of the material (email addresses as well as any other >relevant web material, such as a GEDCOM site where the individual in the >biography or anecdote is found). Ideally, links to your B and A site would >be included on other sites where relevant. > >Management of the website would be up to you, with the advice and >cooperation of other members of the SGN and Strong-List. Material could be >proposed for inclusion by anyone who has an interest, but should be >inclusive only of persons who are of Strong(e)/Strang(e) lineage and >descendancy. > >I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with... I have a couple >of additional suggestions for individual materials which you could post. >The first would be some material posted some time ago on the Strong-List re >Capt. "Billy" Strong of Breathitt County, Kentucky... I will look for it to >see if I saved a copy. The second would be material by John R.
