December 19, 1999 Several cosmetic and "bug fix" changes were made, and portraits were added to the profile pages of William Hammond Wannall III (index 1983-01) and Wayne Wannall (index 1988-01).
November 28, 1999 A new, and so far unattached, family of Wannalls was located in the eastern suburbs of Washington, DC.  We have added profiles for our new contributor, William Howard Wannall III (index 1967-02), his wife Laura Christine Wannall (index 1967-03), and their children Sean Robert (1993-01), Stephen Timothy (1997-01) and Kayla Allison (1997-02).  We also added pages for Bill's parents, William Howard Wannall Jr. (index 1928-01) and Margaret F. "Peggy" Wannall (index 1928-02), and his grandfather, William Howard Wannall Sr. (index 1903-01).  We hope to gather information to add earlier generations, including William Sr.'s father, Thomas Wannall, and grandfather, Walter Wannall.  We will be investigating this branch further, so stay tuned! 
November 8, 1999 A break in the incoming flow of new information allowed us to work on graphics.  We added portrait photos and/or gallery links (containing family photos and documents) to the profiles of William Tell Wannall (index 1857-01), Walter Raymond Wannall (index 1888-01), Rebecca Reeves Wannall (index 1889-01), Ruth Wannall Monaghan (index 1909-01), Walter Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1918-01) and we even found a picture or two of Doris Wannall Collins (index 1927-01).
October 31, 1999 I'm getting too old for this!  From information received in the past two weeks we have updated profiles for James Raymond Wannall (index 1907-01), Alice Virginia Smith Wannall (index 1907-02), Bessie Wannall (index 1907-03), Charles Nicholas Wannall (index 1933-01, formerly 1934-01), Neoma Vera Martin Wannall (index 1931-01), Shirley Kendrick Wannall (index 1937-01, formerly 1934-02), Charles Nicholas Wannall Jr. (index 1957-01), Kathryn Ann Wannall Johnson (index 1959-01) and Ruth M. Wannall (index 1936-01).  Gallery pages were created and linked to the profile pages of William Hammond Wannall (index 1914-01), Walter Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1918-01) and Steven Howison Wannall (index 1971-01).
October 18, 1999 Information keeps piling in!  We found a wife of Thomas Wannall (index 1783-01) and created a new profile page for her.  She is Mary Roberts Wannall (index 1783-02).  We added a photo portrait to the profile of Ryan Wannall Edwards (index 1984-01), and updated the photos of Walter Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1918-01) and Gertrude C. Wannall (index 1918-02).  We updated profile pages for Laurie Wannall Edwards (index 1959-02, formerly 1958-02), William Hammond Wannall Jr. (index 1946-01), William Hammond Wannall III (index 1983-01), Anita Wood Wannall (index 1923-01), and Thomas Wannall (index 1783-01).  We made corrections to the profile of Helen Wannall (index 1921-06)
October 11, 1999 In the three weeks since the last update, information has been arriving at a rapid rate, and the update process is beginning to lag.  A photo portrait and wannall.com's first gallery link were added to the expanded page of Janet Huddle Wannall (index 1943-01).  Additional updates were made to the profiles of Thomas A. Wannall (index 1848-01), Franklin E. Wannall (index 1916-04a), Doris Wannall Collins (index 1927-01, formerly 1930-02), Ruth M. Wannall (index 1936-01), Amanda Wannall (index 1988-02), Anita Wood Wannall (index 1923-01, formerly 1921-04), Helen Wannall (index 1921-06), Stephen Wannall (index 1947-04), Diane Wannall (index 1947-05), Carol Wannall (index 1949-01, formerly 1947-06), Bernard William Wannall (index 1940-01), Mary Elizabeth Wannall Weise (index 1943-01), Leslie Wannall (index 1955-01), James R. Wannall Jr. (index 1932-01), Elizabeth Lewis Wannall (index 1932-03), and John R. Wannall (index 1962-01). We added new pages for Addie C. Thompson Wannall (index 1848-02), Vallerie K. Wannall (index 1955-02), Ashley N. Wannall (index 1991-01), Nicholas K. Wannall (index 1995-01), and Alvin Jaiser Wannall (index 1932-03a).
September 22, 1999 The fifth wannall.com home page replaced the brick wall version.  The new page included an expanded, easier to use Help section, minor updates to a few profile pages, and the elimination of all "under construction" links.
August 30, 1999 Temporary photo portraits were added to the profile pages of Walter Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1918-01) and Gertrude Crane "Trudie" Wannall (index 1918-02).
August 27, 1999 In a 90-minute recorded interview, Walter Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1918-01) provided hundreds of information updates for the profiles of William Tell Wannall (index 1857-01), his wife Mary Elizabeth Downey Wannall (index 1862-01), and many of their children and grandchildren.  It is anticipated that it will be several months before all of this information is sorted, catalogued and transfered to wannall.com profiles.
August 20, 1999 An intensive search of census records around the United States provided very little, but significant information about Wannalls already listed on wannall.com.  No new Wannalls were located.  The new information will be added to the appropriate profile pages sometime this fall.
August 16, 1999 The fourth version of the wannall.com home page made its debut.  Minor information from at least four new sources were added to the site.  Some of the profiles updated were Charles Nicholas Wannall Jr. (index 1957-01), Kathryn Ann Wannall Johnson (index 1959-01), Vera Wannall (changed from index 1934-02 to 1931-01), and Ryan Wannall Edwards (index 1984-01).  New pages were created for Shirley Wannall (index 1934-02) and Jenesse Jordan Wannall (index 1974-02), who joined the family on July 31 when she married Steven Howison Wannall (index 1971-01).  Photo portraits were added to profiles for the two newlyweds.
August 1, 1999 The first photo portraits were added to several of the profile pages, replacing the standard picture of the strange old woman.  Profiles updated were those of Walter Raymond Wannall III (index 1944-01), Marianne Sanguinetti Wannall Shoemaker (index 1945-01), Lynne Strong Wannall (index 1945-02), Anne Crane Wannall Hart (index 1947-01), and Douglas Keith Wannall (index 1970-01).
July 20, 1999 Final information from the original family tree is transfered to the web, with (often sketchy) profile pages for every Wannall, Wannall spouse and Wannall child listed on the tree, each linked into the main Names Index.
July 17, 1999 Wannall.com wins an Ancestry Connections Genealogy Award.  Several search engines, including Yahoo, Info Seek, Northern Light, Starting Point, Galaxy, Infospace, Infohiway, WebCrawler, Excite, Hot Bot and Magellan, update with listings for wannall.com.  Most listings feature wannall.com near or at the top of the first page.  The wannall.com home page was replaced for the second time, as more index names connected to actual profiles.
July 1, 1999 A new home page appeared which provided a link to an "Index of Names" of people named "Wannall".  About a third of the names on the list linked to individual personal profile pages, which in turn linked to each other.
June 14, 1999 E-mail contact was established with about two dozen "Wannalls" from around the United States, and profile gaps began to fill in.  A second, more concise home page replaced the original.
June 3, 1999 About one week after the debut of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) "FamilySearch" web site, we visited that site and learned that Thomas A. Wannall (index 1848-01) married Addie C. Thompson in Washington, DC, on June 27, 1877. That was the only reference to anyone named Wannall on the entire FamilySearch site.
May 17, 1999 The first "announcement" home page for wannall.com appeared on the internet showing a portrait ot Lynne and Ray Wannall and giving a brief description of our mission.  It has since been archived and replaced.
May 1, 1999 The URL address "Wannall.com" was created and issued to W. Raymond Wannall III.
