Merry Christmas! Just want to thank Bill for posting the memoirs of
Phebe
Campbell Hoyt and Jane Campbell Tubbs on Joyce Tice's website. It was a lot of
fun to read!
The website is:

Glad you enjoyed them.
Joyce Tice was looking for volunteers to "adopt" the various townships
on her Bradford, Tioga, Chemung Tri-county site, and after considerable
thoutht, I agreed to take on Nelson Twp. Joyce retains control of
placing material on that site and of it's formattng, etc. And she
want's her site to be as complete as possible and not have many links to
material on other sites, which is understandable.
On the other hand, I would like our planned Campbells of Nelson site to
be as complete as possible also and to keep the "good stuff" for ours.
But one advantage her site has is good visibility. Lots of searchers
look there. So what I worked out with Joyce was that the things I
thougth were primarily of interest within our family would go on the
Campbells of Nelson site; and the things (like those memoirs) that seem
of wider interest would go on her site, but with links from our site to
them. As long as the material is easily accessable from our site, it's
not a big deal what the URL is. Moreover, we will have indexing
keywords on our site soch that if people who see "our" material on
Joyce' site do web searches, they can find suplemental material on
ours. That may not be the decision everone would have made, but it
seemed like a useful compromise to me.
