The only problem I have with having the Custer Co pages indexed with
ATOMZ or one of the other free indexing servers is that most of the pages
are not mine, and are spread among a multitude of servers. The current
Custer Co. index is a joint effort to serve as many researchers as posssible
with a simple index by last name of everybody from Custer Co. who has info
online in one way shape or form or another. It pretty much has to be
manually done.

I use surname helper for my queries, it is still there wand works
great
for me as I only have one or two queries a month or so. I use ATOMZ to
index my pages they are free (if you have less than 500 pages) and can
be scheduled, I have mine scheduled for tuesday night after midnight so
any changes made during the week will be included in the next indexing.
Of course if you make lots of changes you can schedule daily.
