I am so happy you found my Angelfire introductory page.  My website started about a year ago in Angelfire.  Since I was new at webdesign, I was unable to get off the ground in Angelfire, so I continued my pages using AOLpress at an AOL address. I have since used up all my space and AOL and now I am back at the new improved Angelfire site.  Now, I am all excited about trying some new things since I have learned a lot in one year.

My website began as  a colorful, musical tribute to my ancestors.  There are two genealogies that go back 188 years with beautiful antique photos and many midi files for download. The pages expanded into graphic designs as you can see on this page using Paint Shop Pro 5, Factory Filter, and Adobe Photo Deluxe 2.0.  The lake image in the welcome sign was created using a filter.  My graphic pages have all the information that you might need in order to start making your own graphics. I include links to the tutorials that helped me learn.  This website also includes a page with midi files that are constantly growing of Carlos Santana.

So enter, my expanding place in cyberspace, relax, and I hope you find something of interest.  If you do, please mark this spot and kindly sign my guestbook so I can visit you as well.
