I've been steadily working on a WIKI that is focused on the Brooklyn Centre area of Cleveland.
Some or all parts of the "Barbarowa Neighborhood" link will eventually all be migrated over into the WIKI. The photo albums are already there, as is the census list.
During my research of the families that lived here, other interesting tidbits have turned up and I just thought the WIKI would be an ideal place to store them.
If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Also, if you'd like to add information to the WIKI, you'll have to register. It would be so much better if the WIKI could be freely open to anyone, but the spammers out there revel in the opportunity to splatter their grafiti everywhere, so registration is now, unfortunately, required to edit anything. You can freely browse, though.
The link to the WIKI appears in the main menu over on the left of the Barbarowa Genealogy main page, or you can just click here:

Oh the joys of trying to learn PHP and MySQL at my age! With no gurus around to ask for help, it's been a mildly uphill battle trying to rewrite some parts of the website. When a stumbling block presents itself, no amount of banging my head against a wall seems to help. But that's ok.
My initial trepidation at tackling a new language has turned out to be pointless. PHP isn't that much harder than anything I've used before. It's just got some different ways of doing things. In some ways, it's a LOT easier than other languages I've used. Finding that out was very encouraging. Writing a database project took approximately one week to figure out, so for a newbie I think that ain't bad at all.
The project is almost ready to go live.
[EDITED OUT PREVIOUS REQUEST FOR HELP. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.]

Today, I upgraded the TNG software to version 5.0. There are some new features to play with. You can now search and/or browse places and sources.
The pedigree (now listed as 'ancestors') tree can now be displayed in several different formats. The 6 generations in Compact form really shows you the most in the smallest amount of space.
I'm still exploring what the new options are, so will report back as I discover them.

Thanks to the hard work of Trina Galauner, we now have over 1,200 additional enteries for the grave database. This group represents Polish Clevelanders who were buried at St. Mary's Cemetery on East 71st St.[ add comment ] | permalink

If you've explored this site at all lately, you'll have noticed that there's a new guestbook. The old one was okay, but I like the look of the new one a lot better.
