I've learned a lot since February. The cost of maintaining a website online is more than I thought. The maintenance of a site runs from $50 to $100 per year, depending on the options. The maintenance is from the company you buy your website name from. You also have to pay from 2 to 5 years in advance. This may not be too expensive. I just don't know right now.
Another alternative is MyFamily.com. This website has hundreds of family trees on it. Any member of a given family can upload anything they want. Old or new photos, Documents, videos, recipes, anything. It automatically sends out a message when something has been added. The cost is either free or $29.95 a year. I would go for the $29.95, it has more options. They also have a $130 option but it's not needed for our tree. It also maintains a current calender for events for the family, birthdays, anniversary, or things you would like the other members to know.
MyFamily is password protected with each member having their own password. There is also a profile page for each member that you update yourself.
For the lone website, I would have to buy another software program, $30. And you, as members would not be able to update anything. Please let me know how you feel about this.

The March to Putting the Trees Online
I've got all the Hinman information entered. I decided to use Ancestral Quest. I moved all the records to the new software and there were a lot of errors. So I need to check all the Hinman information again.

Debbie Meyer, I asked Rita Anderson what was the cause of death and this is her reply
Yes, it was very sad as she was only sick since Thanksgiving. It was a type of cancer that was outside of the lung area and could not be treated with surgery. She was in LaCrosse and Mayo at Rochester and they tried some chemo. Mayo said it was one of the fastest growing and largest tumors they had ever seen. So sad.....
Shirley has sold the farm and bought a nice small ranch home in Luana. She moved in Dec. and it is couple houses from daughter, Jeanne Miller, and family. I am glad she moved off the farm.

Debbie (Henkes) Meyer Obituary (Calvin and Shirley Henkes' daughter)
Debbie Sue Meyer

Monona
Memorial Service: 11 am January 22, 2010 at Norway Lutheran Church - rural St. Olaf, IA
Visitation: 2 to 8 January 21, 2010 at Norway Lutheran Church - rural St. Olaf, IA
Debbie Sue Meyer, 52, Monona, Iowa, died Monday, January 18, 2010, at the Methodist Hospital, Rochester, MN, following a brief illness. Debbie was born on August 4, 1957, Prairie du Chien, WI, to Calvin and Shirley (Sass) Henkes. She graduated from MFL High School with the class of 1975.
Debbie was united in marriage to Brian Meyer on September 4, 1976, at St. John Lutheran Church, Farmersburg, Iowa. Three children were born to this union. Debbie and Brian started farming east of Monona, Iowa following their marriage. She took great pride in their farm, raising pigs and watching Nicholas and Phillip become involved in the farming operation.
Debbie could be found outside tending to her flowers, mowing her lawn and helping on the farm. She enjoyed listening to Shannon play the piano at home, at school and at Norway Lutheran Church. Her favorite summer past time was going on “Family Vacations” to the Clayton County Fair, where she would watch Nicholas, Shannon and Phillip show livestock.
She felt truly blessed by the addition of her grandchildren and she brought as much joy into their lives as they did into hers. Debbie enjoyed looking at life through their eyes and the focus of her life was to always be there for her children and grandchildren.
Debbie looked forward to Sunday morning church, picnics in the woods and going on her walks. She would go out of her way to help her extensive family and friends. She was also a committee member of Clayton County FSA for eleven years and worked at Clayton County Recycling. Debbie always had a smile on her face and took great pride in everything she did; she appreciated the simple things in life.
