On 10/26/2003 published my web pages to my new internet service provider site.

Overall the site is pretty much the same as it was before with some noteable changes. It is no longer called the "Dillon/Jarrell Genealogy Home Page", but is now the "Dillon Genealogy & Other Resources" page. Another change is the background colors of the web pages. Before, the various colors that I used for the backgrounds made the information difficult to read. I am currently in the process of changing the background color on all pages. Have also made a change in the format of the individual family member pages. Before, each page started with the individuals name, dates and place of birth/death and lineage followed by any notes, wills, obituaries, etc... Now, following the individuals lineage, you will find a table with the following categories in the cells: "Obituary", "Will", "Notes" and "Miscellaneous". Each of these categories is a hyperlink to information concerning the current individual - providing information exists. This format change is not complete so you may still run across some of the older pages. I will continue to make changes to try to improve the appearance and useability of my pages. Hope you enjoy this site and find the information you are looking for.

Check back here to see what is updated.
