Summit County OHGenWeb Rework

I have uploaded the start of the total rework for the pages. you may note your bookmarks are no longer valid. I have changed some of the directories where the pages were located, as well as changed the file endings from htm to html.  The best thing to try will be using the search feature I will be adding in the next few days.
I have started working on adding several bios, and hope you all find them useful.
Let me know what you think about the re design.
