First Try at Creating Website

[rplummer@wvi.com]

Keith,

If you want to set up a geneaology site, it is easiest to do with 
geneweb program. There are Versions available for Windows, Linux, 
and Mac. It is not hard to setup and there are good instructions on the 
site. It will import a windows gedcom file also.

Or....if you have windows, and have all your in a windows Geneaology 
program, you can usually export the pages to html. Once thats done, 
you can just FTP them to your server and setup an index page with the 
proper links to the html pages. That will not allow anyone to work 
online on the site as will Geneweb. 

Or...again if you have windows.....you can get a program called 
gedHtree. this will convert your gedcom file to static html pages and 
produces a very nice linked tree. All you need to do is ftp the pages to 
your site and set a link to the first page. (registration($20.00 US)

finally, I would suggest you go to the following site and do some 
reading. Everything you ever wanted to know about publishing a family 
tree on the web.

Hope this all helps
