I finally had that dreaded computer crash and had to buy a new computer with the VISTA program. Microsoft discontinued the use of the Front Page editor the end of 2006 so I had to change editors and learn a new one. And of course first thing I did was mess up the site. L

At one time, I had photos of our ancestors on this site but had to delete them to make room for genealogy information. There is now a work in progress: Yahoo has graciously given unlimited space on their site for photos so since my space on this site is limited and upgrades are no longer possible without starting over, I have added the old photos of our ancestors at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/earlytexasfamilies/my_photos . Please check them out and enjoy!

Yes, I know, I have been dragging my feet the last few months but I really needed to get away for a while. I'll try to do better... Now, I'm really far behind, not just behind! <grin>
Today, I added a "little" Irish to the home page, just for fun. My fun anyway.
Added 05 January 2002
Hi all...sorry I haven't added anything in the last few months. I did update and add to my Christmas pages in November and December with some changes in the appearance. I have been playing with some graphics which takes a lot of time, not knowing what I'm doing and still having not learned all that what I want!
"If" I should get things organized again, there is still much genealogy to add and I will have updates posted here as soon as possible.
