Everyone's been really great on this list about following the rules of the list, even though technically we don't have many rules. Nevertheless, for those of you that are new, let me review some of the unwritten (up to now) guidelines: 1. Keep on the subject of Autauga County genealogy. We don't discuss families, religion, or politics (national, state, county, city, genealogical societies, etc.). Likewise, the list isn't the place to have arguments on any subject. 2. If you need to have private communications with someone, don't do it on the list. 3. Absolutely no improper language. 4. Absolutely no postings that assault the good name or character of anyone, living or dead. 5. Do your best to make clear, unambiguous postings, using proper grammar, spellings, and punctuations. Remember you are trying to either solicit or pass along information, and you want to make your messages clearly understood. 6. Remember that the postings are archived. Once you hit the SEND command, your posting is in the record. 7. Remember that only a few participants live in Autauga County. Most of us (including me) do not. 8. Don't be afraid to ask questions about genealogy or the list. You can ask your question to the list members, or you can e-mail me. 9. Don't hesitate to post what may seem to be the most insignificant question or finding. Your data may be exactly what someone else is seeking. 10. If you see a problem with the list, please let me know. I travel a lot, and sometimes I don't read my email very quickly or thoroughly; but I eventually respond to everything. Thanks for your support of Autauga County genealogy. Tom

The Autauga Genealogical Society will be taking a field trip to the new Georgia State Archives at Morrow, GA, on October 3-4. We will be car pooling like we did on the last trip. Those of us traveling as a group will be meeting at 7:30- 8 a.m. on Friday, October 3, in the parking lot behind Herrod's Chevron Station on Hwy 31 near Hwy 14(Prattville). We will be leaving sharply thereafter. Some will be driving on their own and will meet us at the Archives. We will spend the afternoon of October 3rd, researching at the Archives, then will check in at the hotel and eat dinner out Friday night. We will spend Saturday, October 4th, at the Archives and leave to come home late that afternoon. Most of us will be staying at the Days Inn-Southlake, 1599 Adamson Parkway, Morrow, GA 30260, ph. 770-961-6044 or 1-888-757-3297. This hotel is located within two miles of the Archives and offers a special "GA Archives" discount of $45 for those who request the discount. Each person will be responsible for making their own hotel reservations. If you are planning on going with us, please let me know. Also, if you intend on driving your vehicle and have room for one or more "riders", let me know. We have a few who want to go but will need to hitch a ride. I will be driving my vehicle and have room for one or two. At this time there are at least two or three others who will also be driving their vehicles. You do not have to be a member of the Autauga Genealogical Society (AGS) to go with us on this trip. We always welcome guests, especially those with an interest in researching. Larry E.
