 ====== Ohio Pioneers Wiki ======
+~~NOTOC~~
+This wiki provides information about certain family lines that have some connection to Ohio.  Some of these people are also described in the public website [[https://ohiopioneers.com|ohiopioneers.com]].  In both that website and this wiki, the term "Ohio Pioneer" is used both in the classic sense and in the more poetic sense.
-This private wiki provides information on certain families whose members were among the those who have made a home in what is now the state of Ohio.  Some of these people are also described in the website ohiopioneers.com.  In both that website and this wiki, the term "Ohio Pioneer" is used both in the classic sense and in the more poetic sense.  At present, this wiki focuses largely on families connected to Richard F Marshall (born 1798) and his wife Sarah "Sally" Hall (born 1802).  In some cases, their descendants married partners whose ancestry can be traced back to earlier times and distance places.
+Without needing to login as a member, you can use the Surname Directory, which is included in the main navigation sidebar. That directory lists the surnames of families currently included or planned to be included in this wiki.  If a name is shown as a link (e.g. colored text), then you can click on that name to get more information and to see a list of individual pages for that surname.  As a general rule, the surname directory does not lead to information about people who are living or recently deceased.  It is about the past.
+Member accounts are by invitation only and provide a way for current family members to collaborate on family history research and share information.
-The Directory is a list of surnames, and that list that may expand over time. If is shown in green, you can click on it to get more information about people with that surname.  If a surname is shown in red, it is for information to be added later (and clicking on it produces an error page). This same red/green convention is followed throughout the wiki.
