With regard to supplying me information ...
I've accepted GEDCOMs in the past, but that worked out to be more trouble than it's worth - people put comments in where the date belongs, they don't use the same naming conventions I use, etc., and I spend more time trying to clean it all up, delete the duplicates, and eradicate the errors than it would have taken me to type it all in fresh to begin with.
So - if you can send it to me in a Word document, or a .pdf file, or on paper, or in an email, I'll enter it the way I want it to appear as time permits.
I don't have a web site - I tried to get the Fremont County Historical Society to sponsor one, with no results. I offered it to the Fremont County web site, but they don't allow any non-governmental content.
I donated copies of the CD to the Shendandoah and Hamburg libraries and never even received an acknowledgment of receipt, let alone a word of thanks. So I publish it on my own, in web format, on the CD ROM.
