Welcome to the all new and much improved Vladimirets website!  With a new look and feel, it focuses on easy navigation and a clean modern appearance, with a lot more user-friendly functionality and added interactivity. 

The complete genealogy database is now available online, with more features coming soon.  There are more photographs than ever, organized into photo albums for easy browsing.  You can find the albums in the new Web Galleries section.  You can even set the “slideshow” feature at the top of the photo album and it will flip through the photographs for you.  We now have full multimedia capability, and we are looking forward to taking full advantage of it. We start off the new Multimedia section with some audio clips from family get-togethers in the 1960s, taped by Gene Gottlieb. 

Many of our page names have changed, so make sure you update your bookmarks accordingly.  And to make it REALLY easy to find us, you can now access our home page via www.vladimirets.org – much easier to remember than the extended Rootsweb address.  So get comfortable, explore the site and let me know what you think! 

We still have a lot of content to upload, so there will be many more changes and updates through the end of the year.
