Hi Cheri, I just read the email and noticed the posting regarding the NEPS site and the contact for updates. It seems I was the one who sent in the contact info. The person who I had contacted at the email address referred to is Víctor Emanuel Mendes Oliveira. I believe he is responsible for incorporating updates and would appear to have lead role in the website content. He has been very good at responding to my emails to him, although none of my family updates have yet appeared......he told me to be patient as they have huge databases to manage. It is such a great site for my family research. Hope this helps. Dennis
