The FAMILY template

The Family VALENTINE

My Disease State—ALABAMA

 

This began as a proposed family sharing space on PeoplePost web hosting.
The wording was most elegant, lofty, but wiped clean by the dot.com, dot.go
scenario; something to the effect that empowered by the connectivity of this
newfangled Internet, we soar to new heights of genealogical research, where
everyone posts. I dreamed of a community in which even ordinary people rise
above their roots. Looking back fondly... I must have dreamed On-lineage.com.

 

AND MORE . . .

 

Tom "Crackerjack" Thrash, Federal Judge

 

5-20-01: Eureka, I found it (the lost proposal).
            I dreamed of a picture portal where the
disadvantaged genealogically speaking might
come together, amass records, and rise above their
roots to heights unattainable except through the
connectiveness of a newfound internet, where the
family name would reign supreme, where everyone
gets their hand in the crackerjack box (picture >>>>>
No. 12 Groove.net/apthrash/On-lineage), where the
prize is, simply, the pride of knowing. Know this,
only myeventsdotcom would post the large image of
Martin Treish's will. Even the last frame of the (now
defunct) PeoplePost was clipped short.
            Thanks to Paul Thrash for encouragement, also
to GifWizard.com for the definitive file compression six
times over. That framing is a technological miracle
considering my scanty equipment and limited resources.
