Wilma, the construction in the Sandbox is WONDERFUL, so colorful, and such immediate feed back. I would stay on the Utah Project just because it is immediate success. Fabulious construction. Thank you for all of your hard work!!! [[User:Wyzer17|Wyzer17]] 15:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC) | Wilma, the construction in the Sandbox is WONDERFUL, so colorful, and such immediate feed back.

Way to experiment! I love looking at new ways to do things. Two comments: 1)I think the page is really long and when it has more data in it it will get even longer. Is there a way to break it up into a series of pages rather than one really long page? Just a thought. 2) I would love to see some step-by-step guidance for finding births, marriage, death, etc.[[User:LoosleDC|loosledc]] 19:29, 18 January 2012 (UTC) | Way to experiment!
