Site Updates

A genealogy researcher’s work never ends. We are constantly checking our research sites for newly released indexes, newspaper articles, and other archives looking to fit another piece of the family puzzle. Being that said, I will periodically be adding found material to Deep Roots. Take a look below to see the Deep Roots site timeline.

- Solved four pictures from the Unknown Gallery courtsey of Giuseppe Moscardelli
- Bug Found: The Unknowns page was not being sorted in sequential order. This was fixed
- Bug Found: Found a bug with Gravestone pictures and captions:
When using the same gravestone picture for a married couple the caption maybe inaccurate on the one of the spouses bio page. For Example: The gravestone picture for Dominic Langiano and Viola Perry is a shared picture for both. On Dominic's page the caption is correct. On Viola's page it says Dominc Langiano Gravestone when it should say Viola Perry Gravestone. (This will be corrected on the next website update.)
