DeCouto.com and .org now registered in the Family

October, 2004
Cyber pioneers and cousins have staked the DeCouto claim in cyber space with the most important "TLD"s ("Top Level Domain" names). Douglas in Bermuda has registered .com and .org, no mean feat considering someone was sitting on decouto.com for many years without a site!. For the interim, those urls will redirect to .net until they get fleshed out as the family connects and grows in this medium.
Stephen has staked out the www.decouto.co.uk domain. Good show!
Web site consulting is available at no charge to the family regarding basic html, domain name registration and how to do it free or very cheap. Contact Mark, the webmaster.

WEB TIP #1
For the best Domaine Name Service (DNS) with the least cost, most generous bannerless web hosting options, great webmail and privacy because there's minimum or no "cookies" (watch out for those li'l devils), I highly recommend DirectNIC

Long lost DeCouto cousins meet up in cyber space!

Putting together this site has been a great opportunity for myself and the family to meet up and catch up. Recently, the emails have been coming from cousins i havent seen and cousins I havent met. Great to hear from you. Maybe we can get a blog going.

I'll make a page for that lovely phenomena soon. In the meantime, if you have websites, links, bios, pix, baby pix... whatever, email to me (clik on contact link). And if you have completed html, even better!
I code by hand in my spare time, so it takes a while. Needless to say, I need all the help I can get!

"Tony and Jean celebrate their Golden Aniversary! 50 Years!

Labor Day Weekend 2004
by Mark DeCouto

Atlanta- A DeCouto family milestone was celebrated over the Labor Day weekend as Anthony and Jean DeCouto reached the half century mark of their marriage. Joined by family and friends from all over the USA, the banquet hall was packed with people witnessing a modern day miracle. There was plenty of food, drink, a DJ and dancing (of course!). Tony and Jean opened the floor with a rhumba, but really wowed the crowd with their "swing". The room was filled with the conversations and catching up of long lost relatives.

From as far away as California and Colorado, Michigan and Ohio, they came. The hall might've been too small if hurricanes Charley and Frances hadn't wreaked havoc on the couple dozen lives of the Florida contingent which prevented them from attending.

All in all, the love and strength of Tony and Jean's marriage has once again inspired and gave occasion for the whole family to come together in joyous celebration. Even for the ones who couldnt be there.
