Hi folks. I got this from RootsWeb telling their change in status. Don't know what the final outcome will be. Jus wanted to let you know. Hi Folks: Good news: You, our contributors, with your financial support, have helped create at RootsWeb one of the largest and most popular sites on the Internet. In May, we had over 149 million page views (according to Nielsen NetRatings combined home and work statistics), sent over 155 million e-mails, and handled over two million downloads of files from the various archives hosted at RootsWeb. Everyone, take a bow! This is an incredible community of genealogists, and the advances we're all making in our research due to the sharing that occurs here is unprecedented. Bad news: The more popular RootsWeb becomes, the more costly it is to simply stay alive and online. Even with your generous support, expenses continue to exceed revenue. We ran up a truly scary loss last year. Without outside help, it's not clear how long we'd be able to go on like this. Good news: MyFamily.com (you may know them better as Ancestry.com) recognizes the importance of the genealogical community that has grown here at RootsWeb, and wants that community to continue to thrive. They're excited to provide the financial stability we need to ensure RootsWeb will be around for years to come. We are pleased by Ancestry.com's coming involvement with RootsWeb. Now we can all focus on helping each other on the mailing lists and message boards, uploading our GEDCOMs, and building Web pages to share our research. You will of course still get all of services and benefits we promised you, such as mailing lists and access to PML, the feature that scans all our mailing lists and message boards for the surnames you specify. And don't worry, you won't be charged to access RootsWeb. No one will put your data on CD without your permission. Our Privacy Policy (http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/pledge.html) and our Acceptable User Policy (http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html) are unchanged. Other promises made over the years will continue to be honored. You'll still deal with the same RootsWeb volunteers and employees. In fact, most users won't notice any changes, except exciting new tools, more content, and better genealogical resources.

Posted on: Bullock County, Al Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Bullock?read=264 Surname: ------------------------- There is a wonderful new site for anyone who lost loved ones in Vietnam. It is the Virtual Wall where one can look up names and leave remembrances. The URL is: http://www1.thevirtualwall.org/ Wish I could make it clickable.

Mary, Its been some time since I was up there, but the cemetery was in pretty bad shape w/o any help from loggers; my survey shows that there are at least a half dozen Confederate soldiers buried there; I was not aware of James A. McLeod, would appreciate anything you may have on him; my WebTv will only handle plain language attachments. I have attempted to contact the City Manage/Mayor at Midway in person and by letter, but two years later have not received a response; being an officer in the SCV, I wrote to the Ga SCV Div Cdr, thinking, due to its proximity, one of the Ga SCV Camps might want to take it on, but received no response there either; seems we spend an awful lot of time beating our chests and gnashing our teeth about our Flag while paying little or no attention to burial sites for our Southern Heroes. My age (75+) is such, that all I can do is complain; wish I could do something though. Deo Vindice, Homer
