What's New

in the Fortney Family Web Pages

This page notes significant changes made to the Fortney Family Web Pages.
General updates occur on a continuous basis.

DATE CHANGES
3/12/2022 FORTNEY.ORG continues to operate as a clearing house of family information between those who seriously want to investigate the family genealogy. The misuse of personal information forced us to tighten our standards for participation and reduce much of the information we provided on living family members. We are still active in helping make family connections between interested parts of the family and will list publicly available information. Applicants for assistance need to carefully read the Website guidelines.
12/1/2018 The Fortney-Fortna Genealogy Family has moved their primary communications to Facebook. FORTNEY.ORG does not believe that Facebook is a reputable company supporting the values of the United States of America and will not be supporting those efforts.
11/19/2016 Details concerning the 10th International Fortineux-Fortna-Fordney-Fortney-Furtney Reunion have been posted to the REUNIONS - 2017 page.
11/30/2014 At the direction of the Fortney-Fortna Genealogy Family, Inc. Board of Directors, pages from the restored Genealogy Family Website have been revised to remove old and possibly misleading information. In order to facilitate communications with the FFGF, an email address linking to the President of the Board has been added to the site.
7/5/2014 Family members are now offered FORTNEY.EMAIL email addresses. See the HOME page for how you can have a FORTNEY.EMAIL address.
6/16/2014 Information on the August 2, 2014 Reunion in Missouri has been posted to the REUNIONS - 2014 page.

4/3/2009 New Index Number System introduced to supplement Family Index Numbers used in Fortineux-Fortinet Family in America Book. It has been determined that when errors are identified in the old numbering system, or when new members of the family are added, the new Index numbering system will be used. The new system does not attempt to support construction of a lineage tree, but the new numbers will be used for identification within the tree.
4/2/2009 The Today's Fortneys tables have been re-organized into separate pages for first names begining with the same letter. This will allow for faster Internet access, improved search engine indexing, and the addition of many additional family members for whom we have minimal information. It is hoped that those who see their name listed will respond with additional data.
4/9/2008 A link for accepting Donations using PayPal has been added to the bottom of the Opening (Home) Page. Your interest in Fortney Family email addresses and in just generally supporting the Website is appreciated.
