COMMENTARY

REFINEMENTS TO THIS PAGE
Beginning this month, time scheduled for maintenance of this Home Page is to be on weekends. Much content is available for adding to this Web site in the five basic sections. Adjustments will continue toward refining the appearance of sub-pages created early-on to bring them into line with current formatting. This will include adding bacground color or graphic in those locations where appropriate.

Last month it was brought to my attention by Steven Jamison that usage of the word emigrant needed to be corrected to immigrant in a place where used in this Web site. Basically, a person emigrates FROM a beginning location and immigrates TO an ending location. For example, the four Peery brothers who settled in Augusta County, Virginia in 1740-42, emigrated FROM Scotland or Ireland and immigrated TO Augusta County, Virginia. Wherever this usage is found to be incorrect in other locations in this Web site, it will be corrected.
