Re: Database: Who's Who


 
Thanks to everyone who entered their information.  I think it will 
become very benificial to all of us.

What I think is good about the database is that when you open it up, 
you are given that "Search This Table" input box.  If you type in a 
surname or a location, it lists out all the people searching that 
surname and or location.  A very useful feature, be sure to try it.

The fields in the table are:
Name
Email Address    {optional}
Research Surnames    {Surnames you are researching.}
Research Location    {Cities, Towns, Ranchos that your ancestors are 
from.}
My Location    {Your current location - optional}

So once you are on the database page you just select the 'Add Record' 
link.  Enter your information.  Then select the 'Add Record' button.  
You should then be able to see your record in the table.  The edit 
link will allow you to modify your record at any time.

That should do it...

Thanks,
Angie

P.S.  Isn't it kind of convenient that my record shows up first.  I, 
of course, planned it that way... ;-)
