My suggestion is to develop your own website to record your area of special
interest.

I'm 66 and have only been doing research at the Library of Virginia for 2
years. 

But I have spent days there and found some interesting original documents at
the Records Center, 

apparently never seen before by Milam researchers.

 

I'm completing a Web site design course at J Sargent Reynolds community
college which has 

given me enough background information to easily make a Web site. I plan to
write a 

family history which places the earliest Milam(s) in historical and cultural
context. In addition,

I will be able to show images of original documents and of photocopied
microfilm documents.

Words in bold, dark print are links to a glossary of legal terms or to
images of original documents.

You can take a look at the prototype on the college server here:

/default.htm

 

If you get the student's page, click on HTML Project I . 

 

It's only a prototype and needs some fine tuning. But I think this approach
would be well worth 

your time and a real benefit to your broader family.

 

This might be a good way to "get the truth out" and eventually clear up the
misconceptions on 

Genealogy.com, etc.
