Depends on the software you use, but many modern software programs allow you to put your data online fairly easily. Since I use TMG, I use a program called Second Site to create mine. You can view it at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/EDDE/index.htm You can also use Second Site to create a data CD to share with your family. All they have to do is load it, and walk up and down the hyperlinks. Second Site works with TMG datasets only, but if you are interested you can read more http://www.johncardinal.com/ss/ I am not affiliated with John in anyway other than we correspond online about the use of TMG and SS (as it is more commonly known). I don't benefit from the sale of SS in any fashion. Having said that, I am sure that other programs also allow you to put your information online, and you can find websites that require a password to view the information, so you can restrict that information to people you want to see it. Also, I only include people who are dead and who were born before 1925. That way I don't accidentally get any information about living people on my site. So even though my father is deceased, he is not listed on the website. Hope this helps in some small way. I do agree that adding in the scans makes the narrative more readable to the average reader, and so does transcriptions. Of course, it is time consuming, but so is collecting the same information over and over and over again. <G> Teresa Ghee Elliott All links start with http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery and then add Rutherford Co., TN cemeteries: see above TMG sentence structures: /TMG.html Descendants of James Edde of Bedford County, TN /EDDE/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: Diane S [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 3:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VACAROLI] Re: VACAROLI-D Digest V05 #89 Well eventually I plan to put all the information I have gathered into softcover book form for my family - not for the public in general - not for profit but just to make sure all the minute details are known! I may even scan the documents I have accumulated - and that alone will take years! With those, the story almost tells itself.

I mean once they are all gone who will ever even know. Or are they doing research on their line also. Now that is one way we can all help make sure that future people know about these brave soles!
