Web

The Scott Family Web Site was established in the winter of 2004. The primary goal at the time was to allow for easier communication and to provide the most up-to-date information about the 2004 Scott Family Reunion in Rawdon, Quebec. Since the humble beginnings, we have published our genealogy back to 1795, created a thriving on-line community with an interactive message board and photo galleries. We, receive thousands of hits from around the world with questions about our genealogy or old friends trying to re-connect.

The original web site was hand-coded HTML. Updates were tedious and could only be updated from one computer which housed the master files. The latest incarnation of the Scott Family Web will put the power to create and modify content in your hands! Every Scott family member who wishes to have access to publish news, photos, forum postings or blogs on the Scott Family Web site will be able to do so.

I encourage you to create a user account and share your stories, ideas and photos!

For more information about http://www.scottfamilyweb.com please e-mail the webteam2008 at scottfamilyweb dot com.

ScottFamilyWeb.com acknowledges the generous support of the Scott family.

  • Privacy

    Created by Web Administrator

    microscope.gif We have tried to ensure that appropriate privacy is respected.  The application we will be using on the web (phpGedView) is set so that no details are openly displayed for those who are living - you can see that someone has a number of children and grandchildren, but the word ‘Private’ is placed where normally there would be information.  One problem that this gives us is that, if you have sent us information without dates or indication that individuals are dead, you may not be able to see the information because the program will assume that all individuals are living.

    There is also the facility within the application to make specific types of information private or particular pieces of information private.  If you find that some information about one of your ancestors is visible that you would rather mark as private, please let us know.

  • New Log-in Option

    Created by Stephanie Allen

    facebook iconMost of the world is now on Facebook.  It is a fact that we can't fight.  I thought Facebook would be a relatively short-lived fad like chat rooms or mySpace... but it looks like it is here for the foreseeable future.

    To make things easier for all the family members who are also Facebook users, I have added a "Facebook Connect" button.  This will allow you to log in to the Scott web site using your Facebook credentials.  In fact, once you have created/linked your Scott and Facebook accounts, you will never need to log in to the Scott site again.

    When logged-in to the Scott site, you will have access to the genealogy and other inforamtion that we don't want shared with the general public.

    Test it out!  If you don't remember your old user name and password, just create a new account or e-mail me to re-set your password.

  • New Look of scottfamilyweb.com!

    Created by Web Administrator

    This site is still in progress.  There are still many photos to be moved from the old site and content to be developed.  Please consider submitting photos, news and bios for your branch of the Scott Family!  


    Welcome to the newly refurbished Scott Family Web site.  This new web system will allow users to submit their own news on the web site, as well as continue the general gossip, rumours and chit chat in the Scott family forums.

    For those with profiles in the old forum, the user names and passwords should work.  If not, I may have had to re-set it, so let me know and I will re-set it.  It is preferred that your password be re-set, rather than create a new account to ensure that you are linked to all of your old forum postings.  For new users, I will create a "How-to" guide, but Registration is straight-forward, but should you have any questions, please let me know at webteam at scottfamilyweb dot com.
