My apologies to anyone who was trying to use a language other than English in the database and ending up with a nasty little error.  I discovered the problem myself today after testing the upgrade.  I’ve fixed the problem for the installed language packs.

I have other language packs available.  If you would prefer another installed, please let me know.  Just be aware that the language change only affects the software tabs, and not the documents that I’ve uploaded – they will still be English. To translate those, try viewing the site using Google’s translate service.

Whats new? Not much. Between working full-time at my new job (thankfull that I have a job in this economy) and working evenings on client websites & slowly improving my health problems from my last job, well, I haven’t done much genealogy research. Yesterday I mailed away an application to Wisconsin state vital records to see if I can get death records for my 3rd great-grandfather Johann Judas. Because I am asking for an uncertified record, the form states that any response can take up to 6 months. Fingers crossed that it comes in just a month or two.

Today, I’ve uploaded the latest version of the database software, which fortunately fixed a problem I was having with Google maps.  I’ve also uploaded some new Judas photos including the obituary info for my grand-uncle Raymond Judas.  You can check out any new additions by visiting the “What’s New” page.

I haven’t yet been brave and upload a new version of my GEDCOM – I’m just a bit worried that importing it will cause my media/document links to fail. 

If you haven’t checked out the Estacaille Ning social site, please come by.  We’ve got new members in the last month or so.

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I just purchased an upgrade to the TNG database software.  So if you find the database unavailable during the next few days – don’t panic – I’m still here.  The upgrade should go smoothly, but Murphy’s Law sometimes kicks in

2009 has been a busy year for me so far. I’ve neglected my website a bit.

Beginning of January I was on pins & needles waiting on a phone call for a job interview – I’d applied back in November.  Meanwhile, one of my previous employers wanted me to work for her. I knew that she needed me badly for the next few weeks as the accountant was due to take some time off & there was no one else in the office experienced to cover for him.  Seeing as I hadn’t gotten my phone call, I took the job.  A month later, mid February, I got the call I’d been waiting for. I was offered the job, started it March 2.  So for the past 3 weeks I’ve been getting used to a new work environment. I’ve also been doing some web design/desktop publishing projects on the side.

Tonight, I’m making backups of my computer (badly needed-I’m behind) as I’m hoping to upgrade from XP to Vista – and hopefully solve a video driver problem I’ve had for the past 6 months.

The little bit of genealogy research I’ve been doing has been attempting for find death/birth information on Johann Judas.  It’s been a struggle that hasn’t resolved itself yet.  I’m hoping the information, once I find it (fingers & toes crossed), will connect my Judas branch with Elaine Lloyd’s branch in Australia.  I’ll post any updates here and on my social site at http://estacaille.ning.com

The database move is complete! You can find the link under the tab “Searchable Database” or click here to go directly.

There are a couple of bugs that I need to fix.

First, the links from the photos/histories/documents to each person has disappeared.  I will have to set each one manually (again, sigh!).
The list of users and passwords also didn’t transfer over.

Welcome to the new home of Estacaille.org!

I’ve just finished moving the site to a new server and I’ve installed the front portion in a WordPress theme.  Not all the pages from the old site will appear here.  In the next few moments I’ll create a link to my database as well as some of the my external websites.

I will be slowly gathering some of the old info I want to import from the former site.  Watch here for new developments!
