Table Of Contents - Part 1 |
Home, Contents (this page), Family Tree, Grandparents, Abuelos, Grandma, Ma and Family, About Me 1 & 2, Reunion 1 & 2, Family 1 to 24, Family Pt. 2, US Virgin Islands, USVI Part 2, New York 1 & 2, Cruises, Cruises Pt. 2, By Air, Contact Me, Favorite Links, Information, Search, and Index A-M, and N-Z. Pages like Family - Pt. 2, US Virgin Islands, USVI - Part 2, New York - 1 & New York - 2, Cruises, Cruises - Pt. 2 and By Air will take you other sections (sub-menus) with more navigation bars. Some navigation bars are repeated in sub-menus to make it easier for you to go back and forth between sections. For example, if you go to New York - 1 you will find Home, Cruises, By Air, US Virgin Islands, Contact Me and Search while on By Air you will find Home, US Virgin Islands, Cruises, New York 1 and 2, Contact Me and Search. I will list every page below and let you know who or what can be seen on the page. You can use this in conjunction with the Index pages to find a person, place or thing. You can click on the name of the page listed in blue and it will open up a new page. The title of the page will be listed in green while any explanation between menus will be explained in dark teal. All links are listed at the end of each entry. If you know the page you are looking for, you can get to it by typing torrens-nieves.com/page name. html. Example: torrens-nieves.com/index.html (the Home page) or torrens-nieves.com/grandparents.html. Four Family pages will have to be written in Spanish. These pages are Familia 8, 20, 21 and 22. To get to those pages instead of Familyxx.html you will have to type torrens-nieves.com/Familia8.html, etc. You can also type torrens-nieves.com/xx, without the .html, and you should be able to get to the page. [Keep in mind that what shows up as the name in the navigation bar will not be similar to what shows up once you open the page. Examples: Ma & Family appears as MaFamily.html, Reunion # 1 as Reunion1.html, Family #1 as Family1.html, Page GGG as PageGGG.html, St. Croix #6 as StCroix6.html, 1986 - A as 1986A.html, etc. However, the pages with a year like 1979, 1993, etc, and similar pages that have no additional pages (A, B, C, etc), will appear as 1979.html, 1993.html, etc. The only exception to this rule is 1983. Since I had to use it twice, 1983 under By Air was saved as 1983SK (St. Kitts). 1983 under Cruises appears as 1983. (Confusing? If it is, look below for page you want, click on the blue entry or go to www.torrens-nieves.com and look for page you want to view.)] When you click on a page below (blue letters or numbers) a new page will open. Keep in mind that if you open more than one page with music/video on it, you will have to stop the music/video on one page to avoid both songs/videos playing at the same time. On some pages, I added links to other websites. You will know that you can click on an entry to get more information by placing cursor over the entry. The arrow will turn to a hand. Listed below in orange clay are the links found on each page. You will have to go to the actual page with the link. You will not be able to access the information from the Contents page. Home - What's New ???? - This page lets you know what pages I have added or what modifications I have made. From the Home page you can get to the Family pages and all pages that have been created. Links on page - You will always be able to access the pages I have added or modified here. At the bottom of page, you can access Yahoo's web hosting page. Contents - Table of Contents - This page.
