The site consists of three parts:

• A family tree, showing ancestors of G. Ray and Mary G. Smith.
  
  
• Lists of individuals by name, birthdate, and birthday.  The lists include people not shown on the tree.
  
  
• A page for each person, most with pictures, some with links to e-mail messages or other information.  Items are arranged chronologically on these pages.  At the top of each page are links to the parents' and grandparents' pages.

About dates:  At first I was using "circa" (ca); where I wasn't sure of a date, but that seemed to imply more knowledge than I had in many cases, so I switched to marking them with a question mark.  Many are just guesses, but they do serve to order the pictures on the pages.  Where I haven't even guessed a date, a bullet (•) is shown; those items will usually be listed before any with dates assigned. 

About links:  By "links" I mean text on a web page that can be clicked with the mouse to show another page.  Typically they look like this or this.  This site is designed to show them in a medium blue color, switching to white on dark blue when the mouse moves over them, like this.  I know that's not the standard way to show links; I hope it is not too confusing.
