Hi Mac, it's irritating and the website isn't designed for easy use. We don't
know how to design a commercial site for easy use yet -- my opinion.

If you go to the bottom y ou will see a heading
"current articles" There's a series of articles. One of them is the early
American article in the immigrant series.

You can click on any of the articles and get there. At the bottom of each
page is a "Go to main University Page" - click THERE to go to the main
page or remember www.genealogy.com . How hard is that to remember?
I donno but I couldn't remember it last night at 10 PM when I got home.
Was there a www or not? etc. Was it www.univerisity.com??? I gave up.

>But when I go to www.familytree.com, I find myself on a one-page
>advertisement for personalized embroidered wall hangings and
>sweatshirts. No links to anywhere, except to Amazon.com zShops.

Links everywhere. You gotta read the text and then either click on the
icons or the text.

>I'd really like to check out the genealogy university. Suggestions?

You probably need to learn to navigate a web page better. Not your fault --
it's not intuitive to anyone but a 16 year old boy.

You got to learn to screen out all the bright lights and flashing ads and
read the text and click on things. You can always hit the back button.

Good luck with the classes. Rootsweb has freebee classes too.
Somewhere......off of www.rootsweb.com . They are amazingly good.
But I got to go to work,
