  or whose spouses are living. Therefore, you will not find yourself. If you do,
  then we must have received premature reports of your passing and we apologize
  for that. But since you will not find any living people, we recommend, if
  you're just starting out, that you follow the steps listed above. Those tools
  and others which are found on the Home Page are described in detail below.

* Where links such as Back and Index appear near the upper right hand side of
  a page, the Back link will return you to the previous page and the Index link
  will take you either to the index for that section of the website or to the
  Main Index, i.e., the site's Home Page. Any other links that also appear
  in the same location should be self-explanatory.

* Note that a Camera Icon -  - next to a person's name on a genealogy page
  indicates that pictures or other supplementary materials are available
  concerning that individual. Clicking on the icon will take you to the page
  or pages containing those pictures or supplementary materials. When on that
  new page, use your browser's 'Back' button or, if available, the 'Back' 
  button on the new page to return to the original page.
