Hi Dick,
I'm sorry that you didn't find your site indexed at the WebWide Surname
Locator. The reason for this is because the only pages that this search
engine indexes are those surname links pages created by GEDCOM to HTML
programs such as GEDPage or GED2HTML. This is to insure that the
searcher is searching through nothing but surname databases. If you
have such a page, by all means, I will index it!

On another, subject, however, because of your email below I was able to find
your BOLT obituary page and have added a link to it on the Family Surname
Obituary Archive site on http://www.geocities.com/cribbswh/obit/b.htm
Thanks,
Bill Cribbs
