Well, perhaps the banner is a little misleading. The site itself will still be available but I will be moving the domain. The address will no longer be http://www.forbes-stevenson.com but instead will change to http://www.kenspangler.com and will be found under my genealogy area.

I know this may cause some problems for folks and I really hate having to do this but it makes sense to do this right now. I’ve worked hard on this site and I don’t want to lose any of my hard work. I’ve just renewed the domain name (April 2008) and I will let it expire at the end of this registration (April 2009). I will no longer provide any updates at this address but will update as needed on my new domain.

The reason for all of the changes is that I simply chose a bad domain name! By choosing forbes-stevenson.com as my domain name I limited myself to what I could do with it. I have acquired so much more research and would really like to have a way of showcasing my research on my Spangler and Gamble lines (paternal) but it doesn’t make sense doing them on this current domain. I am hoping that the new domain will be sufficient to address any changes in the future. After all, no matter what happens it will be a site that evolves around me. It will feature my paternal research, my maternal research, updates on my wife and children, my hobbies and much more.

Please update your bookmarks to the new domain name. It may take a while to get everything just right but I will try to make sure it has the same look and feel as the current site.

I will leave the current site up until about October and then I will simply put a redirect page to take any new visitors to the new domain.

Thanks for your understanding.
