Hi Wayne,
"As suggested by this wonderful group maybe putting something on the
internet would require the least handholding. The only real reason that
I haven't started down that path is that I haven't researched the
different options and costs for the different internet providers. Any
suggestions on who to use here in the USA and how much space I might need."
Rootsweb is my recommendation, for anywhere in the world you might be.
You can upload (ie, transfer from your computer to theirs) a GEDCOM file
to their WorldConnect area (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/), or you
can create your own web pages and upload them to the FreePages area
(http://accounts.rootsweb.com/). I do the second (see the link in my
signature), and there is great support for it at Rootsweb, too, in the
shape of a list like this one where your peers can help you find the
answers to your questions.
With FreePages you can use Legacy to create pages as we discussed
before, or you can create your own pages using whatever web page
building tools you have available, or you can do both.
I recommend taking a look around, and perhaps joining the mailing list
(http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/RootsWeb_Support/Freepages-Help.html)
to ask some questions before applying for your own space. When your own
space is granted, you'll be automatically subscribed to that list.
Both of these services at Rootsweb are free.
Hope this helps. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard
