Now his webpage includes the message, "If you'd like to support the Italian genealogical Group in this work, click <A HREF="http://www.italiangen.org/predblist.stm" REL="nofollow">here</A>."<BR/><BR/>Beyond that, both IGG and GGG give errors now when one does a One Step search of their data without having first seeing certain pages of their websites. I assume Morse assisted them in adding this technology to their websites.<BR/><BR/>We read somewhere (apologies to that blogger) that Morse had also helped them add "sounds like" searches to their website.<BR/><BR/>Communication is the key.<BR/><BR/>Contrast this with Ancestry's Internet Biographical Collection (IBC). Their standard MO of developing in secrecy gave them no protection against misjudging their market. As a result, the IBC went down in flames.<BR/><BR/>Radix, thanks for your comment.<BR/><BR/>--The InsiderAncestryInsiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490682912125335188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-83886877041639714712007-08-31T08:28:00.000-06:002007-08-31T08:28:00.000-06:00I would be happy to hear about any solution that could be acceptable for the parties involved.
