Crumbs, with a site that big you need to bone up on template systems and
includes, or migrate to some kind of CMS (content managemet system).

And what's all that stuff in the meta section of the index page that
seems to be linking to
http://www.freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com?

I originally had 3 totally separate web sites:-
One for genealogy, hosted on Rootsweb.
One for history, hosted on my personal web pages, and
One for computing, which was my own business site.
As I added more pages, the History site grew to be too big for my personal web site, so I combined that with genealogy on Rootsweb.
When I decided to retire, I included some of the computer pages there also before closing down the site.
Hence one large site all hosted on Rootsweb. That still exists at <http://freepages.rootsweb.ancesry.com/~wakefield/> and is well used by the Rootsweb community via their internal search engine.
When they had problems with servers I decided to get a backup site on 110mb.com.
I use that as my main site now because it carries no advertising.
The Rootsweb one automatically inserts banners at the top and bottom of every page. However, being a free unlimited site, that is no problem.
Rootsweb supports includes but 110mb doesn't.
I do have templates to create basic pages, but only on my computer not on the servers.
I've yet to find a CMS that I feel comfortable using.
