Well this is interesting to say the least. I've got two replies to a message I've not even received back! Allen, I've subbed your other address. Perhaps I need to elaborate on the last URL a bit further. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ndhettin/surnames.htm In that list there is at least one person who has more than one surname listed - which is one way to go about it. What I thought about doing was something along this line: Surnames Email addresses STOWELL tstowell@chattanooga.net; johndoe@xyz.com; marydoe@abc.com That way all the folks searching Stowell could go to that surname and write the other folk mentioned. It just seems to me that this would make it easier than the current system - where one has to either put a search in their browser to find all the STOWELL researchers or scroll through the whole page. I realize this is yet another project - but if it would improve things for ya'll I'm willing to take it on. That said though - I'm looking for a volunteer or two to do a review of an area of the web site for me and subsequently your fellow researchers.
