William,  That is a fantastic start - beautiful picture of Virginia's hilly 
scenery.  You find Mountains in Colorado :-))  Let us know when you launch 
your website on the internet.  For my website I used "Front Page" and 
blundered through it all by myself as it certainly shows on some pages.  But 
the day it went to the internet was a GREAT day for me and I have had a 
whole lot of fun since.  To break up the tedious work of reconstructing some 
of my Buford family lines I write in my "Trivia Page".  As you know trivia 
is sort'a like finding an old trunk in you Gramma's attic labeled 
"Miscellaneous."  Here are a couple of new ones in my Trivia.

My background is supplied by my angel in heaven - Torie.

Love this discussion !!!  fern
