Strictly speaking, for the URL you give, the "main URL" is http://www.seacoastngh.com which will take you to the homepage of the website. In practice, whether or not I actually give the main URL or one for a specific page rather depends on a few factors. When using, say, The Times Digital Archive the page URL for any particular article is horrendously long, so I use the main one. I use the main one for big cites with good menus/indexes such as Ancestry. But for "multi-purpose" sites - for example, a family's website or village website which includes a section on genealogy as well as sections on numerous unrelated topics - I will give the URL of the actual page or of the introductory page for the relevant section. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
