Lakelse Air
Built several years ago when I was an employee for Bear Creek/Lakelse Air, this is an html website. I still maintain this design from time to time.

Bear Creek Contracting
Built back in 2007 when I worked for the company, I still maintain this site from time to time. This site uses WordPress software hosted at HostPapa.
The site can be found at www.bearcreekcont.ca
Ultimate Solutions Medi-Spa
www.ultimatesolutionsmedispa.com
Built several years ago as a favour, this site is hosted for free on the www.wordpress.com network. The business owner is new to the internet, so the WordPress software is easy for her to use if she so chooses.
The drawback to using www.wordpress.com is that the design options are limited.
Terrace search and rescue team
Several years ago I was asked to help register the domain names for the local Terrace Search and Rescue team. This fall we finally worked on updating the old design and getting the site back online. While most of the content is now back on and public, at this time I still have some design tweaking to do.
I’ve used the WordPress software for this site as it is easy for website newbies to maintain news postings.
The website can be viewed using the addresses www.terracesearchandrescue.com
www.terracesearchandrescue.org and www.terracesearchandrescue.ca
Excel Transportation web design
A new website being designed fall of 2009. While I collect photos, interviews & other content for the final design, I had built a temporary home at exceltransportation.ning.com
The temporary site used the free services of the social networking giant www.ning.com. As of July 2010 Ning has phased out their free storage space and I have moved the temporary site to a WordPress design I’ve been working on. The work demo is currently found at http://skeenagirlfriday.com/excel
The final design will be using WordPress software for easy maintenance by office staff. The website address once completed will be www.exceltransportation.ca.
I received a surprise in the mail yesterday – the copy of Johann Judas’s death certificate I ordered a month ago. I wasn’t expecting to get it so fast – thank you Wisconsin Dept of Vital Statistics!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide me with the name of Johann’s parents like I was REALLY hoping. But it does confirm the birth/death info and place of burial.
I can’t post an actual copy of the certificate, but I’ve transcribed it. You can view the transcription here: http://www.estacaille.org/genealogy/docs/CloozDeath_WI-Judas-Johann1908.pdf
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.
Mom called me an hour ago to give me the news that her uncle Raymond Judas passed away suddenly sometime in the early morning. He would have been 89 in September. As far as we know, the funeral will be this coming Friday.
We wish we could be there together in person… mom has been wanting to take a trip back to Ontario for some time now.
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
