Site Map

I have several interests, which I've written about. My pages fall into some broad categories. I add to or subtract from the sections as my whimsy dictates. Each main section has a directory page, as follows:

Main Genealogy page
with advice and adventures. The sub-sections are:

• Beginning Genealogy
  for people who are just starting the hobby.
• Intermediate Genealogy
  for people who have been at it for weeks or months
• Genealogy Essays
  which are partly my adventures, partly my musings. Some of the adventures have hints for other hunters.
• Biography Outline
  my most popular page, 11 months out of the year. It has a series of general questions. If you answer all of them in complete sentences - or better yet, a couple of paragraphs - you'll have a start on an autobiography.
• Cousins
  What's the difference between a first cousin twice removed and a second cousin once removed?

Suggestions for Christmas Newsletters
From roughly November 15 to December 15, this is my most popular page. I average 300 visits a day most of the time; during the Christmas news letter season, I get over 2,000 visits a day.

Peace Corps
Stories and pictures of my time in Sarawak as a Peace Corps Volunteer, the most exciting, exhausting and rewarding two years I ever spent, and some FAQ collected from several years of searching Yahoo! Answers for the phrases "Peace Corps" and "Peace Corp"

Web Design
Everything I've learned since 1998 about web design. The advice is for high school students doing a personal web site, church web masters, and volunteer web masters for non-profict organizations.

Miscellaneous Essays
These are the essays that don't fit anywhere else. They are all warm, witty and well-written, though.

CVHS Class of 1966
a virtual high school reunion. This is a sub-section of my site, but looks like an independent site.
