Years ago, I had a set of pages dedicated to Progressive Rock groups. The index frame was also the links page and there were many links the pages had in common. I imported the links to the index and was able to update them all by changing the one common file.
I want to do the same thing again. I can't remember how and I can't find anything about it in my reference books.
If I understood you correctly, you can do it this way:
create a index.html on a Domain:
In another domain you can take it into the frameset:
<frameset rows="50,*">
<frame src="http://www.whereyourfilelies.com">
<frame src="other.html">
</frameset>
So you must only edit the index.html on your http://www.whereyourfilelies.com

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The frames were no problem and I am not using them in this project anyway. That was just part of the explaination of what I did before.
For example, in the index frame, I had a list of links to all my progressive rock band pages. This list was the same for each page. Instead of changing all my pages when I added a new page, I created a small file that contained the list of all the pages and this file became a part of the index frame.
What I want to do now, in my Family Tree project, I have a data file that contains the individual's information. the main file 'index.html' builds a page from this info. Now that the first edition is working, I found that I am going to have to update the index file for everyone when make micro adjustments, and it will be a horror when I start work on the second edition.
What I would like to do
<head>
<-- title - importing js, css files etc. from a common directory, I can do this -->

<body>
<-- pull the body of the page from the common directory, I did this before somehow to a smaller degree -->
</body>
