I have put together an exciting new option that people can use for state
and/or county websites, to extract and display information from my website
"Our Family Tree",
www.gurganus.org. I have up two examples on other sites
I maintain, here:
Washington DC:
http://www.theusgenweb.org/dcgenweb/links/people.shtml
Prince William Co VA:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vapwilli/links/people.shtml
When they first come up, it shows random people for the location, but giving
priority to those who have pictures attached. Then at the top are fields
where you can search by first or last name. If the search results are more
than will show on the page (currently 20), it has paging links at the top
and bottom so you can continue on to more pages.
Any new information entered on Our Family Tree will automatically be
accessible on these pages. There are a several hundred records for most
eastern VA counties, and a little less for western counties. So I'd love to
get this information out there and more accessible. So you get lots of
information, with relatively little effort to plug it in, and 0 effort down
the road, as it updates itself.
Instructions and code to download are here. You can also just look at the
source of either of the above pages, and follow along.

Have a look and let me know what you think.
