I didn't set anything specific, but left the defaults as they were.  Once the 
image module is enabled, those settings can be changed here: 
admin/settings/image

Actually all those name links are separate sites.  They all share the same 
code but each one has a different database.  I did have them all with 
different themes so that they all looked different, but it didn't really flow 
well when going from one site to another.  My wife preferred the look I set 
up for William's site, so, I changed them all to the same theme.

My original idea for the overall site was to have the front page of the parent 
site (http://www.flattfamily.com/) have a sort of genealogy graph linking all 
the names together and then have each name link to it's respective site.  I'm 
not sure if that will materialize or not, as it seems to me that it will be a 
lot of work.

There is a Family module on the Drupal Web site that is supposed to provide 
some level of genealogy functionality, but it has /NO/ documentation and is 
not at all intuitive to use, so I haven't gone very far with it.
