Google has just released a beta tool for webmasters called Google
Site Maps, which allows webmasters to submit an XML sitemap.
According to Google's website and related blog entries, the goal is
to make it easier for Google to index more of the web.
<<
so I have learned how to do that
by hanging out in
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/google-sitemaps
I used
http://www.sitemapspal.com
and after editing around line 186 it now works as it should
and we have a much improved google presence
result here
http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/xml.html
which google frequently checks for updates
needs mozilla or netscape to view
(4) search "hugh watkins" in google to see my other stuff
rootsweb lists, ancestry boards boards and usenet groups

future plans
I want to see

I am negotiasting with kb.dkwho have two copies but don't allow out
of house scanning
because of the damage risk to book spines
(c)
Historical directories of Copenhagen and Denmark on line
about every 10 years
I visited the Lybgby headquarters of krak.dk
