and happy endings are possible.

Due to the ever-increasing size of the Narrative Report (thanks to our wonderful contributors!), I have made the difficult decision to convert the file to the .PDF format.  I realize that there may be folks who do not have Adobe Acrobat® Reader on their computers, but it is a very simple installation process.  (Note:  you must have Acrobat v6.0 or higher installed on your computer in order to open and view this file!)  Please perform the following to install the Reader:

1.  Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=BUIGO.

2.  Uncheck any options, such as product promotions, additional applications, etc.

3.  Click the Download button on the Web page.

4.  Click the Run button in the popup dialog box and follow the instructions in the Wizard.

When the installation is complete, whenever you click on a .PDF file inside your browser, the Acrobat Reader should automatically launch and display the file.  Please drop me a note if the above link is bad or you have any other problems with this plug-in and I will do what I can to assist you!

General instructions for reading the Report:

1. Numbers in bold black font are primary numbers of members of a particular generation you are browsing in - they are NOT repeated by generation.

2. Superscript after FIRST NAMES (not italicized) refers to generations. You will note that these superscript numbers continue to repeat themselves throughout the Narrative, thus they are NOT footnotes. Footnotes appear as italicized superscript, will appear anywhere EXCEPT a first name, and will be unique.

3. Please take some time and review the Notes page! (see the link at the bottom of every page) We've made it so it pops up in a separate Window so you can simply click back and forth and not have to browse back to your place in the Narrative. (Make sure you have enabled popups in your browser for www.waytfamily.com!) The Notes are extremely important in understanding the context of what the Narrative is displaying.

4. There are some terms used in the Narrative that you should be aware of and take advantage of. WEBSITE GRAVE means that there is a photo available of that person's gravestone and additional information with that photo of their gravesite. Go to the Photos & Images section of the site to view. Other references that begin with the word WEBSITE mean that there are records available to view, such as marriage certificates, death certificates, wills, deeds, etc.

5. For those of you with sharp eyes, I have removed all of the body text notes and placed them in the footnotes section. This is because the Narrative was getting way too large to accommodate so much text. Anyone is welcome to contact the webmaster for full copies of the documentation.
