This is from your home page


<link
href="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alistair%20Mckenzie/My%20Documents/Web%20Design/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">


from
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~todmordenandwalsden/baptisms.htm


<td width="7" rowspan="30" valign="top"><img
src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alistair%20Mckenzie/My%20Documents/Web%20Design/images/white.gif"

The top one appears on all of the pages I checked so I am assuming it
is part of your template. Anything that points to your C Drive is
pointing to files on your hard drive NOT the server.


Is this from Google Analytics? Are you using one of Googles site
maps? Are you using Google's webmaster tools.

If I type in
site:freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~todmordenandwalsden/
I get 997 pages indexed with the dates of April 12 and 13 as the
dates the site was last spidered by google at least on the cached
pages I checked. No idea if any of these are duplicates as I did not
check them all.
