Genealogist's Index to the World Wide Web

The Genealogist's Index to the World Wide Web is a bit different from others you'll find on the Internet, but I think you'll like the results. When you enter a name you want to find, the search engine will send your answer back as an EMAIL. That way you can research the sites at your convenience, either loading the page as a set of hot links in your WWW browser or (my favorite) setting them as a bookmark file.

This new search engine will return the results to you in your EMAIL as a file which can use as a bookmark, or load into your browser in the local mode and search at your convenience.

If you'd like to implement this type or search engine for your site on the net, contact John Rigdon. No dedicated server is required, just an email connection to the internet.

Your Email Address (if you're on AOL, you must enter the @AOL.COM):
