1. NEW SEARCH ENGINE ADDED TO SEARCH THIS SITE!!
I finally found a Free search engine that does a great job of searching the site. The only down
side is that we will have to endure some advertising. When the GEN-SEARCH engine registration on
RootsWeb is opened up again, we will try that search engine and take the best of the lot.
Go to the entry page to start a search. You can use any word combination you think is important such as Richard Wells or Mason County, Kentucky. It seems to work really well. We may expand this to index other Wells sites so you can have a one stop search for Wells information. That will be a while yet. Oh, I do NOT recommend you simply enter Wells. You will probably get several hit from the over 900 pages on the site.
