Just a thought. While the mailing lists are a great source of info along with other sites like Ancestry.com and Cyndislist, I also have gotten great information off of personal web pages of researchers. The only draw back is trying to find them! I know there are alot, like me, who use these and bookmark them but we need to get them out to others. Maybe if we have a "roll call" of sorts for great web sites we have found with a brief description of what area or information they cover? Example: www.ovis.net/~billcham/ This is a great page for Wetzel Co, operated by Bill Cunningham, which I have found more info and connections off of then I could have ever gotten from Ancestry. I also started using another little trick to run these sites to ground since the search engines were not doing the job. Most of your smaller communities use a smaller server. Bill uses "ovis.net". So I type in www.ovis.net click on the section for "personal" pages hosted by ovis.net. You then can scroll down to see what home pages are listed from this site. It tells you a brief description of each one. Just click and go. Also you can use this if you know of an area by searching for the service provider. New Martinsville offers rcvideo.com, they also list home pages but also under links provide a genealogy link site to surrounding counties with reseachers homepages. Maybe this isn't something new to others but I stumbled onto this about 6 months ago on a late night gen searching feast! So if anyone has any web sites they want to share other then the very popular ones, lets see what we can find, Merry Ann
