I am new to the calling...and to this media of talk....but not to FH.

I am not sure what the message means or if it is simply FYI.

Updates Needed on the Family Search Wiki page titled 'County Galway, Ireland Genealogy'
This is my first input to suggest an update to a section in the Family Search Wiki Resources. I am not sure how to perform the updates shown below within Wiki and could not easily locate where users are to suggest updates. So I decided this is the place. If this is incorrect, I honestly do not know how a user would know where to go...probably need a more clear definition.

The updates needed (and they are needed) are as follows:

1. From Family Search Wiki home page, access 'County Galway, Ireland Genealogy'; on this page, access subsection titled 'Websites'...it is located at the bottom of the page. The 3rd listed website in the list is 'GenWeb Ireland'; it routes the user to County Mayo, Ireland not County Galway as advertised 2. Referencing the same item as in 1....item 10 in the list routes the user to same intended webpage for County Galway resources. It appears these access points are duplicate...ie the intent of item 3 = the actual route of item 10.

3. Referencing item 4 on this same list, John Gresham's website...clicking on it, the 'source is not found'. I am not sure if it is simply not working anymore, mot available or if the website has changed location

4. Referencing the same item as in item 3 above,...the last item on the websites listing shows another connection to the same website,..John Gresham's Galway Webpage...clicking on it also results in a 'source not found'.

As noted above, if I knew for sure how to make the above changes, I would simply do it and be done with no message involved. However, I do not. Someone more adept than I will have to perform the work. I would appreciate knowing how to do this since I have seen this required update before and would love to just do the edit myself instead of involving others and complicating matters.

Hi, Rusty! Thanks for the input. I am going to answer you by e-mail.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately in the midst of pages of instructions on how to act, speak, write, feel, etc...on this talk page...I can't find the single most important item to communication on this page...how do I open your talk email...I see the start of the message and it is cut off. I found no way to open it...double click, I hit everything and nothing opens it. Perhaps in the first line of the talk page instructions they would be advised to say how it actually works...not how to act, feel, etc.

I looked for the email answer on my actual email inbox (not in Family Search, in gmail...but it was not there and also not in my junk mail). I did not see it. So then I access the FS email....talk email. That is what I cannot open.

In accessing the Gresham site (the original issue) this morning, it appears that the duplications I noted earlier were gone and the Gresham site is working. Perhaps it was a network interrupt that caused no connection...or maybe you fixed it...if so, thank you for the efforts.

Now, however, I would like to know how this 'talk' feature works....not how to express myself...but how it is opened so I can see the message and subsequently respond to it... I see no 'respond' button, nor any 'submit' button anywhere. Probably need to update that also. Since I will point out problems that I see them in the future and would like to assist in correcting mistakes or improving access...I probably need to know how to operate the keys.

Let me know,...maybe best contact is 1st via a message to my actual gmail email account so I can actually open and get instructions on how to operate this 'talk' mechanism....then I can actually use the talk email feature.
