Removed "Descendants of" pages from each chapter in Part 2, since they were just duplicated information from the Family Outline.

Updated Calculate Family Relationships with new file and moved to 1-1.

Added Timeline page to 1-1.

Added Bethesda in TX page to 1-4 to make the next section shorter and to add map.

Deleted Marion AL section because of outdated info, but incorporated some of it into new page Life in Alabama.

Added Life in Alabama page to 1-3 to incorporate some relevant info from Marion section and part of Migration page. Added a map and Streetview.

Checked all "next page" buttons and fixed a few broken ones.

Replaced all maps with updated Google Maps on Hopewell Church, Life in Alabama, Bethesda in AL, Woolley-Edmonds Cemetery, Bethesda in TX.

Added Google Street View scenes on Hopewell Church, Life in Alabama, Bethesda in AL, Bethesda in TX.

Added a few text transitions between rearranged sections for flow.

Moved a section of text from 3-3 Weddings into 1-2 Beginnings: Vivian's Connections and 1-4 Bethesda Church: Bethesda in TX, rearranged some of the text in those two sections for better organization of story.

Added photos of authors to Part 4.

Updated all text site-wide with copyedited text. I'm aiming for a typo-free site!

Added one more photo to 1-4 Bethesda in TX.

Changed photo on 2-4 Taft-Henderson Photo Mystery to be more legible.

Small corrections.


Ongoing - adding and correcting Family Outline with help from family

Ongoing - making small corrections that visitors have pointed out.


May 2017 - The printable PDF e-book is done. It looks beautiful on phone or tablet, and you can print it in parts or all together. Because this website builder will not allow me to publish it here, it's on my other website.


Future Goals:

Rebuilding this site in anything other than this outdated, uncustomizable godaddy website builder. HOWEVER, while this site lacks aesthetic appeal, it allows the order and hierarchy I need for chapters, sections, subsections, and next page navigation. The much prettier Wordpress has proven to be incapable of this seemingly simple setup without endless plugins and workarounds. I'll keep an eye on Wordpress for new options, or at some point I'll rebuild from scratch.


Thank you so much for your help! Keep the information and corrections coming!
