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:
http://learn.reynolds.edu/sjmitteldorf/itd110/110student1/HTML%20Project%20I
/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.
