Here is the link to the website about the grassroots effort to get older Pennsylvania state death certificates available online like they have [...]

As you know, we had posted photographs taken by many individuals of various Roblee gravesites. As previously mentioned, my photography site hosting company has recently undertaken a major upgrading of its hosting services, and one change is necessary for individuals to view any of the photo albums I’ve shared.

I’m in the process of a complete overall of the Greencity web site. Since Microsoft is abandoning Front Page2003 in favor of a new web page design program, and since its new program doesn’t work very well with MySQL data bases (I store my family history data in one, and this web log in another), [...]
