 ====== 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.
-You must be logged in as a member to see most of the content of this wiki.
+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.
