ONE US GENEALOGIST REUNITES A SCOTTISH COMMUNITY
You never know what could result from a family history Web site. Feather Sound, Fla, resident Rich Pettit created a site for one of his ancestral hometowns www.maybole.org (Maybole, Scotland), in August 1999. Less than two years later, his creation has turned into one of Scotland's largest community Web sites. The St. Petersburg Times featured Pettit in an article last week. Pettit's Maybole site now has 750-plus pages with thousands of  images, documentation of the town's history and lives of past and current  residents. It has reunited families and connected genealogists across the globe. Read this entire Internet genealogy success story at
