Evolution of this website

Way back in March/April of 1996 the GenWeb project was getting started.  The goal was to have every county in every state hosted by a volunteer and they provide a website that would be available for researchers.  Then in June of 1996, Linda Lewis, who was the state coordinator for Virginia, posted a message asking for volunteers for each of the counties in Virginia.  At that time, only four counties were spoken for (Brunswick, Lee, Lunenburg, Scott & Russell).

I quickly volunteered, and by July 10th, had obtained a website (www.trevilians.com) from a hosting company named Hiway Technologies, Inc in Florida.  After I had the website, I fired off the following email to Linda:  " I am eager to race off at full speed -- just don't know where to!!"   How true!!   Internet? webpages? HTML? sounds kinda like "Lions, Tigers and Bears!  Oh My!"

In one exchange, discussing how much space was needed, Linda replied "TWO MEGS is plenty. I have the VA page, all the VA counties that I coordinate, and another project totally unrelated to genealogy, on my one meg page with Compuserve".   Hmmm, times have sure changed -- the Louisa site now takes up almost 700MB (as of December, 2007).
