• Home - takes you to the home page of the site - presumably the place you started.
• Search - takes you to a Surname Search screen where you can enter the first few letters of a surname you might be looking for. After clicking the search button, you should be presented with a list of surnames matching what you entered. These names will be sorted by surname and then by given name. Note that entering "roberts" will return all surnames starting with "roberts". So you will get "robertson" as well. To keep search results to a minimum (along with download volume), you should enter as many letters of the last name as makes sense. The in the first column will take you to a detail family screen for the person selected.
• Address - takes you to a list of people for whom I have address and/or phone numbers. These are, again, sorted by surname followed by given name. As in the search screen, the in the first column will take you to a detail family screen for the person selected.
• Mysteries - contains outstanding issues which continue to bug me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
• History - contains a very condensed history of the Huguenots and Jean's flight from France. There's a lot to add to this section. Some day.
• Pictures - takes you to an area where I've got great pictures which don't pertain to any one person but are of general interest to the family history.
• News - shows you what I've been up to lately and what discoveries I've made.
• About - (this screen) attempts to help you unerstand the site and how to get the most out of it.

Once you get to the detail family screen, you will be presented with general genealogical data for a person selected and, possibly, for his/her spouse, marriage, and children, if any. The screen can have the following parts:

• Husband or unmarried individual area.
• Wife area.
• Marriage area.
• Children area

• Which will display notes and short bios if available.
• Displays an image of an obituary or wedding article.
• Which doesn't link anywhere, but will display the phone number, if available, when the mouse is moved over it.
• Which displays the mailing address, if available, when the mouse is moved over it.
• Which displays the e-mail address, if available, when the mouse is moved over it.
• Which is used to link to a persons previous or next marriage.
• Which takes you to an ancestry tree screen.

The ancestry tree screen shows a persons ancestors for up to 4 generations, where available. The link on the 1st generation person, returns you to the family detail screen. All other links reposition the ancestry tree screen with the selected person as the 1st generation.

Technology
I use Brothers Keeper to keep track of the genealogical data, bios, and pictures I've collected. This program, as most others, exports a "gedcom" file which is the standard format for transferring genealogical data from one place to another. I've written a program in Visual Basic which reads this gedcom file and puts the data into a Microsoft Access database. The web server you are using, is Microsoft Personal Webserver 4.0 which is capable of interpreting "Active Server Pages" or "ASP". ASP pages contain a combination of normal HTML and Visual Basic source code which is interpreted by the server when the page is accessed. The Visual Basic code grabs data from the Access database, formats the page using the HTML, and sends the completed HTML to your machine for presentation. By using this technology, I no longer have to store an HTML page for each person, as was done in the prior version of the Chadeayne Family Site. Each page is created "on the fly" using data from the Access database. Storage requirements are greatly reduced in trade for a few machine cycles when a page is requested.
