RESEARCH CENTER: This section contains disjointed pieces of information such as vital statistics, wills, sources, etc. Another place to look for vital statistics is within the Family Trees section. The Research Center generally does not show an individual's relationship to all the other family members.
HISTORY: This section contains little snippets describing the roles played by Pigotts in historical events, or historical events in which these people participated. It also contains geographic information such as places bearing the Pigott name. You will also find the life-story of numerous Pigotts in this section.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: This section contains notices about upcoming events such as reunions, weddings, graduations, etc. It also contains notices of honors, awards, and recognition received by Pigotts.
COMMUNICATIONS CENTER: This section contains various ways for Pigotts to communicate with one another including addresses, queries, etc.
PICTURES: This section contains pictures of various Pigotts or things pertaining to Pigotts.
CHADWICK HOME: The first page of the Chadwick Saga.
RIPPLES HOME: The jumping off place for all my genealogical sites.
UPDATE LIST: This page will show you the date of last update to each section of this site. So when you come to the site and you see that it has been updated since your last visit (or you received notification from MindIt of an update), you can come to this section to find out just what part/parts were updated since your last visit. Please note that the latest update will be at the top of the first page of each section or sub-section.
GUESTBOOK We would very much appreciate your signing our guestbook at some point in time. We always check out this book periodically. Signing the guestbook also alerts other Pigott researchers to your existence and gives them a way to get in touch with you.
SURNAME This is a web site dedicated to bringing together in one spot a listing of all the web sites pertaining to specific surnames.
MINDIT (On the Pigott Home Page) The purpose of this site was covered above under Update List. We have found this service to be extremely beneficial in letting us know when we should go back and check out a site because of updates. Hint: You can have this service notifiy you when any page on any web site is changed. I use it extensively on such sites as specific surnames on GenForum.
BOOKSTORE The Family Legacy Bookstore. The place to go to purchase your genealogy (and other) books. Linking from The Family Legacy Bookstore to purchase your books helps with the financing of this site. All purchases made this way will be greatly appreciated.
REFERRAL (On the Pigott Home Page) If you find this site beneficial in your Pigott research and would like to let others know about it, this is the link that will allow you to do so. It will only take a minute of your time to complete the referral addresses and the info will be on its way to whomever you designate.
MALL (Not yet available) This is a small "mall" where you can purchase CDs, videos, etc. As with the Bookstore, purchases made by linking from this location help to finance this site. We are not urging you to purchase anything. We are only suggesting that if you are planning to purchase something anyway, you may want to consider doing so by linking from this site.
ANCESTRY We have found this to be a very good site for obtaining information. The site offers some free databases. Although a large number of databases require you to purchase membership in order to view them, you can at least see how many references there are to names you may be interested in. This will aid you in determining whether or not you would like to become a member.
EMAIL (On the Pigott Home Page) This is the place for you to send us your comments about the site and/or suggestions for improvement. We regret that we can not answer your specific questions regarding your particular research. We are responsible for the maintenance of 5-6 web pages and that keeps us pretty busy. Please post your queries to one of the forums/bulletin boards recommended in the Communications Center section. We try to periodically capture the information on these forums and post it in some logical order on this site. If we all use the same forums, we will greatly reduce the number of places we have to look for information!
