I'm in a web development class this summer, and for my final project, I'm going to make a web page that organizes all the family history information I've been gathering and presents it in a reasonably attractive way.

As part of my assignment, I'm required to survey my target audience and find out what they would like to see in my page. Some the most likely potential users of my web page are fellow genealogists, especially genealogists whose research interests overlap with mine.

Long surveys are frustrating, so I have just three questions for you. Feel free to skip some of them, but if you have time to answer at least one question before Thursday, I (and my assignment grade) would be very grateful:

*** Can you give me an example of a private web page about a family's history that is well done? What do you like about it?

Have you ever encountered a private web pages about a family's history that was done poorly? What made you dislike it?

Pretend that you've just stumbled across my page, and you think that the people I'm researching might be your people too. What features do you hope to see on my page? ***

Thanks very much!

Plus, with the download of the newer version of the Family Tree Builder, I'm having an even worse problem... I cannot upload ANY pictures at all (it was possible with the older versions). When I click on "Browse..." [for pictures], the window where you can select the pictures freezes, there are no  previews like before, I cannot select any other folder. I can't even click on "select" or "cancel" at the bottom right of the screen, the only way I can close the window is by clicking on the top right "X".

Anybody else had the same issue? How can I fix it?

Dont copy  things from trees on here or any other website without first verifying the 'information' on them.

One person on here, and many on another well known website, has my sister b in Ireland. Since our parents never left NZ that is the first error. She has our parents with our fathers correct y.o.b. 1899, but then she gives my sister a spouse b 1723 in USA and a daughter b 1747 in USA, both born well before her own father!

I have contacted her once or twice before to point out how ridiculous it is but she persists in  this misinformation  in her tree. She will be the laughing stock of anybody who sees it.

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone can help me I am trying to build my family tree and have hit dead ends. I am looking for any ancestors of Hildegard Wilma Hepke born 1931 Etelsen Germany and died 2006 Canada. As well any relations to a Frederick Thomas Froom born 1909 died 1967 Canada, as well as Owen Stanger born 1881.

If anyone has any information they can help me with it would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know thank you so much
