What’s on this site? (A guide for new visitors and a refresher for existing users)

This site is in 2 parts:

A Content Management System called Joomla

TNG

The database operates the same as most genealogy databases, showing data and relationships.

It is accessed through the links on the home page under Jacobs Database
