An announcement from World Vital Records:

World Vital Records is announcing the addition of the largest number of records to be released in a single day since the site launched in 2006.

To commemorate this milestone, for the first time World Vital Records is offering FREE PUBLIC ACCESS to its entire online collection beginning August 11 through August 13, 2009. This is a perfect opportunity to participate in this incredible promotion.

This is a great opportunity to have a look around at the Australian content in this site, mostly, but not only, provided by Archive CD Books Australia.

• Genealogy research in other countries
  I am constantly surprised by the differences in genealogy research in different countries (and Australian states). We tend to take for granted procedures and availability of records in our own patch a...

  I've been part of the 1st ProGen Study Group for nearly 18 months now. Each month we study a chapter or two of the book and do an assignment which is submitted to others in the group for review. As...
• “Whoever finds this, put the data to good use”
  Another quote from Star Trek Voyager. They've found a space ship from way back in the past. The rest of the crew are all envious of the ones who get to go and have a look at it, because it's a direct ...
• Ancestor Day on Star Trek Voyager
  I just watched an old episode of Star Trek Voyager about genealogy. Star Trek Voyager was a spin-off series of Star Trek, the old series made in the 60s about "space, the final frontier". In the ep...

  I've decided to turn this rather quiet website into a blog. Like a diary, I guess, or a journal. So here goes... Today I'm struggling to get my Heritage Genealogy website looking the same on Intern...

I’ve decided to turn this rather quiet website into a blog. Like a diary, I guess, or a journal. So here goes…

Today I’m struggling to get my Heritage Genealogy website looking the same on Internet Explorer as it does on Firefox. Different rules apply, obviously. There is always more work to be done on a website and unless there is somewhere else to test changes the risk is that I will break something on the real website and not be able to fix it.

Even this simple website has a great blue bar across the middle of it in IE7 and not in Firefox. The simple answer for me is to ban Internet Explorer but unfortunately I can’t, so I either have to fix it or change it. I don’t know how to fix it so I guess I’ll have to change the template to something that WORKS. What a pain, I like the paintbrush theme.

When I’ve finished playing with the website I will have a look at the documents a client has sent me on her convict.
