Hi! My name is Mark, the first of five born to Tony and Jean DeCouto. Originally from Miami, I now live in L.A., and my parents, siblings and their families' in Georgia; also, there's a brother, his wife and kids in Detroit; a nephew and neice bouncing north and south; aunts, uncles, cousins in Bermuda, Florida and the East Coast; I've even spoken to a DeCouto from Japan...
indeed, we are a scattered bunch!

I myself have been getting into learning the web as a hobby, so this site will develop over time. Any DeCoutos' that are into this, know web design or have a connect for a reliable webhost, dive in and email me  Mark@DeCouto.net

Yourname@DeCouto.net is a private POP3 webmail account available to all DeCoutos' who want a permanent email address, regardless who your isp or webhost is. You can use it for anything! Give out for  freinds, family, business, whatever you need . You can also forward to any email address in the world !  Over the next five or ten years, everyone will have one anyway, so be the first on your block ! (originally posted '99, just had to leave this one in here :-) Ed.)
To set up your new personal email account, email me, your friendly family network administrator Mark@DeCouto.net . You get your very own username and password, and I 'll give you step by step instructions so you can set up your email client. This web-based email program works great with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator but MAY NOT WORK WITH AOL. I highly recommend the Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. These are the best FREE downloads for family use. Keep in touch!

Family Pictures!

Also, webspace is available on  DeCouto.net  for family members to share photos,  news, events and announcements, home videos, art, music, links to favorite web pages and sites, family history, geneology, kid's pages (that they can make themselves), bad jokes, good recipes ... whatever we want! Watch this space for future developments.

  With this site, each branch of the family tree can have ther own pages as mentioned above, so.... break out those old boxes of photos, go down to the local elctronics store and get a scanner ( $50-100), read the simple directions and start archiving those valuable ( and increasingly fragile!) pix on to a reliable hard drive, then back 'em up on cdw, zip, tape (anything that'll last a few hundred years).
Scan the photos for storage at the highest possible quality, then convert copies to 72 dpi (dots per inch resolution). That's a manageable file size to send pix as an email attachment. To publish on the net, that's as good as it gets (for now). OR snail mail a CD rom (Mac preferred), to:
