Lost Your Way

As this web-site grows it naturally becomes potentially more confusing so here are a few notes if you get lost.

Most of this site has a Framed structure with a static top bar and side Menu panel whilst the main contents will appear in the right-hand window :
Whichever page you are on
(apart from the Home page)
you should still be able to see the relevant Menu.

The site is in 2 parts: "My Family", and my wife's, "Pat's Family", with each having its own Menu and Names Lists etc.

1. So a good starting point will be the link to "Names and Places" where you can identify whose family to follow.
2. Having then clicked on My Family or Pat's Family quickly check on the link to Descendant Charts to see if the surname you are interested in has its own Chart. There you will find in typical graphic form a table of descendants names, plus years and places of birth, sometimes with links to fuller notes about that person ( the father's link will also provide useful information about the children).

3. If there is no Descendant Chart click on Names List where you will find more links.

Found my site via external Search Engine

As we all know some Search Engines pick up individual words from web pages which are often deep in the middle of a web-site and you find yourself lost, particularly in a framed site (see above). I have attempted to cover this by automatically re-directing most pages to the relevant start page. I apologise if this causes you to temporarily not find what you expected, hence these notes.
First ensure you are in the correct family as outlined above.

Using the Pico Internal Search Engine

This will find instances of the word you search for and list those pages with clickable links to the target. It can cause navigation problems and is best avoided unless as a last resort. The problems, which are not major, are caused as the Pico facility does not know which side of the family the particular page belongs to. So you may need to just re-check that point.
If anyone still has problems I will be pleased if you will bring it to my attention.
