Subject: New site for the genealogy depository coming soon
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 12:21:58 -0700 (PDT)


Hello all! I'm sure that by now, everyone on the list (with the exception of
the newbies) is familiar with my site, the genealogy depository on Rootsweb
(see my signature below). I am now looking into a web host to host this site
and have it's own domain seperate from Rootsweb. There will also be a few
other pages on the site of mine for my ALHN county pages in NC. Although I
like Rootsweb, I've been wanting the site to have it's own domain name and also
looking to protect the information on the site since the majority of the
information is submitted by you. Now, what I'm wondering is what people think
about a domain name! I was thinking www.genealogydepository.com but wondering
what all of you feel about it since this is your page. For those who aren't
aware, the purpose of the site is to supplement the lists. Most of the
information online already is census info, but some other info is there,
especially for Bradford with 2 journals and lots of military info. With the
current site, all the surnames are in subfolders (for Bradford,
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kshai/bradford/) and with this new site,
information would be by subdomain (ex: htt://bradford.genealogydepository.com).

Let me hear your ideas (on or off the list) on domain name and any concerns,
etc. As always, please continue to submit info to me. Right now, finals are
coming in a few weeks, but during the summer, I will be adding new information
to the new domain, what ever it's name will be. If many people wish for
another domain name, I'll be putting the name up to vote at a later time.
