Thank Natalie! Yes, it was mentioned on our State mailing list, and our NC
is trying to keep our identity proper, based on Trademark issues, but
otherwise when you do a search engine on any of those sites, using "GenWeb"
ALL links mainly direct to any of the USGenWeb projects AND WorldGenWeb
projects. Its because of the word within the entire phrase.
The software company that originally registered "GenWeb" haven't let it go
even though today they have a different name with their company.
Thank you for updating it, Natalie.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for letting me know that using the word GenWeb was an issue. I
removed it. First I had heard of this! I also forgot to update the What's
New page, so I took care of that too. I've got hundreds of old obituaries
to add still. Just need to stop finding them long enough to make pages for
them.
Natalie
