These Family Trees are built on the Microsoft Excel platform. They require a PC running Microsoft Windows / Excel to access and browse through them. The ISP on which this website is built does not allow direct, open-update access to files stored on their ftp://server. So, guests must download copies of these files in order to view them. Unfortunately, we are unable to develop or support access for Apple_Mac users.
Note: Any changes you make to the file on your PC will NOT be reflected back to the original "master" file on the ftp://server. We hope you will want to help us incorporate changes, fix broken links, or suggest other rearrangements by reporting them, or by providing any other form of feedback. Contact Jim or Janet through the vitals provided on the 'Contacts' page of this website. That way, changes can be made to the original "master" files, and shared with everyone.
Food for Thought... One of the most frequently out-of-date items needing update are the portraits of individuals; particularly those of the children. They grow-up so fast! ...and we often do not have access to good portrait images that are current. Forwarding up-to-date portraits of family members can really help keep a Family Tree relevant and meaningful. ...So PLEASE, send them to us!
Food for Thought v2... if you have any heirloom biographical information on members of the family, like newspaper clippings, biographies (...either published, or perhaps written by you), hand-written documents or letters, or pages from books and/or a family bible containing a hand-written record of the family, notes in the margins, etc., PLEASE consider scanning and sending them to us. It's the family stories stemming from these kinds of heirlooms that can give a Family Tree real LIFE! ...for all of us!
We are updating these files fairly frequently. Updates are documented on the 'Update Record' tabs so you can tell if an update has been posted or not. Please feel free to come back often to re-download updates as needed.
Enjoy !!
