Gary Why should you 'get in trouble' for posting you query, it's very relevant. I would advise playing around with creating a Legacy website. If you like the results, then look for a hosting site. Maybe your ISP provides space as part of your package. There are also free sites available, or you can pay a monthly fee. If the Legacy style doesn't appeal, then your data can be exported to gedcom and "translated" into one of the on-line programs, e.g. TNG which has been mentioned. Personally, I let Legacy create my online family trees, they are integrated into my website cmy.org.uk (links on the right). I can't advise on commercial hosts, being fortunate to use a relative's surplus space. Whatever you do, enjoy the process! Mary Young Can you post your findings to the group? I'm interested in this as well.
I had a site on Freepages, which is a part of RootsWeb/Ancestry.com. But I took my pages down because their Acceptable Use Policy indirectly states that a just person's name (no DOB, no Place of Birth) is considered private information and can not be posted for living persons. It's fine for a free site and there are plenty of genealogy pages there. On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 3:52 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > I didn't know if I'd get in trouble posting to the list.
