Welcome to the Genealogy Societies and Organizations Webring Homepage.

What is the Genealogy Societies and Organizations Webring?

The webring was created by Iwaniw & Associates B.E. as a means of allowing other genealogical societies and organizations to promote their presence on the Web.  There are a large number of genealogical societies and organizations with web istes, yet there is no easy manner in which to visit all of them.  Unless, of cource, you use a search engine and constantly keep clicking your BACK button to get to the next one on the result list.

What is a webring?

A webring is a collection of web pages arranged to form a circle by ring management software situated at a hub site.  A uniform block of hypertext links appears on each page in the ring.  It is through this interface that the hub connects the pages together to trace a circular path.  Beginning at any page in the ring, a visitor can proceed through these links to visit every page in the ring, eventually returning to the page from which he started.
