About this site
This site grew out of two key research areas in my life -- my genealogy hobby and the desire to learn more about Level 2 of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
If you have a desire to learn more of the latter and do as I do, download portions of a site to study and see "how did they do that!", you may do so here with one exception. This site's original tableless design was from "Caught in the Web - Bytes of Torbay's Past and is used with permission.
The images used in the design elements (the header, bottom scene, side pictures) are also not available for you to download and use. Please obtain permission, just as I did, from the original J.O.D.'s Old Fashioned ClipArt[1] site, which had an enormous selection of wonderful black and white images perfect for genealogy sites. The images used here were not distorted in any way. The header and the scene at the bottom of pages are made of multiple images made into a collage. The only changes applied were some images were lightened and have a glow applied to them. Unfortunately the J.O.D. site is no longer available nor have I been able to find the images stored elsewhere.
If you want to learn more about CSS, there are many places to learn on the web. I would highly recommend sites such as:
And finally, this site is generously hosted on Ancestors-Genealogy.com which provides good quality free Web site hosting for genealogy HTML pages. This is a free service provided by Broad Lea, a company specializing in Web hosting for e-commerce. If you have been looking for a free ancestry-genealogy site, please contact them. They have been very helpful.
