I have used the World Wide Web language of HTML to capture and share family tree information. I have created an HTML page for each person, some pages will have lots of information, others will have very little. But, no matter how much information I have, all of the pages share a common format. They contain the person's name; when and where they were born, died, and buried; their parents; siblings; spouse and children. The nice feature about using the WWW and HTML is that you can follow the links from one person to another. I have over 700 person pages available (January 1998). More are added all the time, check out the update log to see the changes that I am making.
If you're here to see who I have traced, you can take a look at the Alphabetical Index which provides a complete list of all the person pages that I have created.
Here is something that is interesting... a chart of the distribution of the Etherton surname by state in 1990. This is an 11KB .GIF image. It is interesting to note that the states with the highest concentration are Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Nebraska. I expected all but Nebraska, maybe as I continue my research, I will learn why that is. For charts on other surnames, check out the web site that is offering this service at: http://www.hamrick.com/names/.
I have put together a few descendant charts depicting all of the offspring (that I know of) of a particular person. These are a great to see how the decendants of a person are related:
I have also started a timeline that provides a list of events listed in time sequence order. This also tends to be older, pre-1800 information. I have also focused mostly on the Etherton's.
I have been told that the -TON surname suffix is derived from the Old English 'tun' or 'tuun' meaning a town, or in fact anything as small as a few inhabited dwellings.
