Clean up is progressing well. Most of the menu links now work, or at least go SOMEWHERE! I have reconnected the forms in the forms/software section; The photo Gallery has all of the original photos back up, but I am still working on getting the descriptions loaded; The new Family Tree software is finally starting to do what I want it to. It is not yet available but I hope to add a link to it shortly. Also nearing completion is a new and improved message board. Most of these items should be finished by the end of this month.
You may also have noticed that there is a log-in on the home page. The new sitewill allow me to grant registered users access to private areas of the website. Once the site is back together I will go into more detail on this exciting new feature.

I have started a new page for one of John Caperton's daughters, Nancy. Gay Nix has done considerable research on this line and has graciously shared her research so that others will benefit. In the near future I hope to be able to add scanned images of original source documents as well as additional information as it comes to light.

Well Here it is! the new and improved Caperton.info website! This is the 4th version of the website since its inception and I must say it has really come a long way from v.1
This new site runs on vastly newer technology, providing me with the ability to update, edit delete all at a much faster pace. Initially I have focused on moving onto the new platform which did take a tremendous effort. As a result I have not been as prompt with the updates and emails as I probably should have been and for that I apologize. However, now that we are online with v.4 things should start happening much quicker. I am hard at work rolling FamilyTreeDNA's new look into the site, I will be able to allow authors to publish to their own pages, and even allow others to update maintain their own photogalleries and family trees!
The software I am using for the family trees has taken a huge leap forward. In the previous site I was using RetrospectGDS, which, while I really enjoyed, it has not been updated in years and looks like even the developer has abandoned it. I have moved onto PhpGedView, which provides a HUGE number of benefits. Go have a look on the Online Histories to see for yourself.
