It lines up fine here ...

Nuccia, you could do a screen shot ... to give an idea of what you are seeing ...

I really don't know what to do about the fact that you see it different in your computer... I see no distortion whatsoever, so it would be hard for me to know what you see Shocked

Maybe screen resolution is the problem as to why we all see it differently??? *pulls hair out*

Liz..

Everything lines up now except for the "M" section. I tested it on IE and Firefox and it views the same. Lets see what the others say now.

Okay, I just "played" around with the width of the center table and hopefully it looks better for you Smile Let me know if it is better.


The problem is that we all have, not only different screen widths and text size (mine is set to "medium" and I know some people have their text set to "Larger" due to vision problems, so that can screw up the intended look, lol), but may also have different browsers...I have IE and it looks just dandy in my screen. Nuccia has a different browser (I think she said she uses Firefox) and she was seeing it totally different than I was Shocked


Me not being a tech whiz, I wouldn't even know where go to do that or how to test a page to be seen by everyone as I intend it to be seen Neutral

Thanks Liz,

Are the names stored in a table? The alignment is off since many of the Comuni require extra lines --- Can the center column be expanded?

Liz,

Thanks, it looks ok now. I know what you mean about the coffee: energy and tastiness. Can we send you some?

Some columns still don't line up but it can't be helped because some names are long and without the full name of the town, there can be mixups. Emmy thought our Sant' Elias were the same, but it turns out they are in different regions.

I guess making the town section wider might help, if you knew the longest town name.

I keep looking at the smilies namely the one throwing the computer.

Dave... and thanks again

Cathy,

Yes I did go to Riccardo's site and his posting. It's hard to find scenes like that here, we are so new. Can't wait to show them to my mother and cousins. Someday I hope to visit and see for myself. I used MS Live search to look at my grandparents' hillside hometowns and Civitella del Tronto, Sant' Elia a Pianisi and Siculiana all have that narrow ridge with a church and few buildings on a central street like your photographs.

When I imagine the immigration stations, I wonder if the people were asked what there names were and answered their hometowns by mistake, changing their surnames here. Has that ever been documented? Perhaps reading something by Fiorello La Guardia might help. I asked my high school classmate, Elaine Genova, about it but she was not sure. I'll ask the Napolis next.

By the way, the photos at my site that were labeled "image" were stock default images; I replaced them with my own. Best to do this at the libraries -> they have FiOS to get me spoiled.
Dave

Cathy,
I just looked at your two websites and that is how they should be: beautiful and full of easy to navigate information. When I saw the Catanzaro Province, I thought wait a minute, that's the married name of my foster dad's sister. The Basiles came from Casamassima, Puglia but another aunt came from Calabria; her maiden name was Trapani...she visted family in Calabria and then went to visit Trapani, Sicily. Have you wondered how so many surnames just happen to be names of towns, cities and provinces?

I'll look for the manifests you mentioned in my wanderings. Now I can use your links to look for the Catanzaros and Trapanis AND for my mom's uncle Dominick DiFabio (changed to DeFabian here). Sigh...now I have to add those to the Surname Database.

Dave
Our Riccardo is from Trapani. Did you see the pictures he posted from there? www.gentedimaregenealo...p;start=15

I know many people whose Italian last names are identical to locations in Italy - Casamassimo, Calabria, Cosenza, Nicastro, Cortale and so on. Thanks for the compliment on my webpages. Googlepages are very simple to do and they make it pretty easy. One of my primary goals was to make it easy to navigate because I want my aunts and uncles to be able to read them and they are easily confused on the internet. Thanks for the compliment. I have much work to be done to get it where I want it

Liz,
The database entries look like they are correct, but the one for Ferro (from Ferri) makes the following names push down so other people's entries don't line up. Perhaps you can remove the "from" and just say Ferro (Ferri) so it is on one line.

The one for Iacono says DaveFerro75 instead of just DaveFerro. A number of entries do no line up. I was worried that I gave you too many to put in and got you tired out.

You're doing a great job and a boon to us. Many thanks,

Dave
