I really like the WG Family Tree. You really amaze me sometimes. I could not imagine myself dedicating the amount of manual effort that put into your webpages. I guess, I need to get out of my 'computer programming' mindset. Heck, at least you get things accomplished. Sometimes, I start things and never finish. Most times I just procrastinate and never start. *laugh* Anyway, I wanted to thank you again. *smile*

O.K.… to the point of my post…

I was wondering who my WG grandparents were. So, I will attempt to contact my WG daddy via anonymous e-mail. Maybe he will respond, maybe he won't. It can't hurt for trying. *smile*

So, I was wondering if this suggestion makes sense to you?

Maybe somewhere down the bottom of your page could you:
1) list instructions of how to locate your WG parents (this is more for new Georgers or inactive Georgers)
2) Request that other Georgers try to locate their WG parents as well.

Here is example of the e-mail that I have sent to my WG Daddy, Wayne.

Dear Wayne,

Hi, my name is Hans. I located one of your previously entered bills at Where's George (WG): http://www.wheresgeorge.com/ . Your bill was the first bill that I entered and introduced to this hobby that I enjoy very much. Thank you again.

Another WG member (we call ourselves Georgers), Beaker: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/user_profile_popup.php3?ukey=WGXqAfH3b2qdc has created a web page called the Where's George Family Tree: http://www.operationarea51.com/familytree/ which lists how individuals were introduced to Where's George.

I would like to know how you were introduced to Where's George? You see… you are my Where's George Father. I would like to identify my Where's George mother and/or father.

If it is not too much to ask, could you locate this information for me.

In case you have not visited the site in a while, here are the procedures:
1) visit the Where's George site: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/ .
2) log on to Where's George. If you forgot your password and want it e-mailed to your Where's George registered e-mail address.
3) Go to 'Your Bills / All Bills (as of yesterday)'. Sort by: 'Original Entry Time' / Order: 'Asc(ending)'. Select the Serial Number (Click for Report) of the first entry.
4) The bill entries are listed in reverse chronological order. Please look at the first entry (scroll down the page if necessary).
5) In the 'View User Profile' column, if there is a check mark, then that person has registered at Where's George also. If so, that's great. You have a WG parent and I have a WG grandparent.
6) Please send this information (a link to the bill) to Beaker: beaker@operationarea51.com and/or myself: hansmguy@wheresgeorge . Here is an example of your bill that got me started: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/report.php3?key=WGbv21O2H28Rk51995WG822/UN3dBFA&entcnt=0 .
7) Please click on the 'View User Profile' column to open their profile. If the field 'E-mail address:' is filled in (with and address or Anon Email Available!), please forward this e-mail to them and request that they locate their WG parent.
8) If your first entered bill does not have a profile associated with, please contact Beaker and inform him how you were introduced to WG.

Any response will be welcomed. In advance, I greatly appreciate you assistance.

Happy Georgering!
Hans,

So, what do you think; am I a complete idiot, or what?

Hmm, As a matter of fact, I just changed my WG Welcome page: http://www.hansmguy.com/wg/wheresgeorge.htm . *laugh*

Thanks again for taking the time to read (and hopefully not offended by never ending suggestions) *wink*
HMG,

: Please take a look at it before sending me an email - half the emails I get are from Georgers who are already there. Thanks!
