I have decided that I will fully give up the position of county coordinator for the the Butler County ALGenWeb site. I would like to find someone who has a sincere interest in the county who had family ties there. If you are interested, please contact me. Karen, Do you want the site permanently?

Hi Carolyn, I don't upload to the archives but I can tell you that for the last week or more, when I try to access files in the archives ftp directory my browser freezes. Nothing has changed on my computer and it's very frustrating!

Hello everyone, This is just a short note to remind you that the USGenWeb elections are still going on. I'm encouraging everyone to vote. You are eligible to vote for the National Coordinator and the County Coordinator Representative from the SE/MA region. In addition, there are two proposed amendments to the bylaws which you may vote for or against. Everyone should have received a Voter ID number. If you have not, please contact me ASAP. Ballots are found at http://elsi123.august.net/~usgenweb/ Bill Hocutt is resigning as coordinator for Franklin County. I really hate to see him go - he's done a really good job with the county site, and he's a cousin! Sam Russell's ISP went out of service and he's moved the Clay and Etowah county pages to GeoCities. Kathy Selman is taking over the Pickens County site from Betsy Mills. Kathy is also CC for Conecuh County. As I sort through a massive e-mail backlog, I'll probably be sending more info along to you guys. Regards, Leigh

If you are using the Rootsweb search engine, seeker(?), it is not going to work for awhile. This also affects the archives search engine for the individual counties.

Kathy Lynch Selman has adopted Pickens County from me. She lives a lot nearer to that county than I do and has access to information for the county. I am delighted to put that county in her much more capable hands. Kathy is also the CC for Conecuh County, so is no stranger to the project. Thanks! Betsy

Hello fellow CC's. The USGenWeb polls are open and the election this year is esp. important. Having been involved with the USGenWeb Census Project and the Archives Project at the same time I've heard both both sides of the story at once and I was turned off by the lies to the point I withdrew from most of my connections to the Archives Project. I could not stomach the political BS the main person there was planting behind the scene. Tim Stowall fed the fire by breaking the bylaws to destroy that project. If the man can't follow the bylaw's he shouldn't be president in any case. The main issue is ousting Tim Stowall as National Coordionator. Tim's a good man but he has shown a blatant disreguard for the the bylaws in his dealings with the Census Project. That has led to to all 3 amendments to the bylaws being proposed on the ballot. One limits the powers of the NC, another returns power to the state level and a third is a subversive attempt to make his actions legal after the fact. I hope you will go to to the election page at http://www.usgenweb.com/elections/election-central.html and read up on the amendmants and vote your mind. I have not decided myself on the first two but the amendment on the archives is a bad motion based on very heavy political moves that have been determental to the USGenWeb as an orginisation. All the above issue's were to boost the ego of one person for the most part. David Morgan, running for SE CC is another who has worked very hard for the USGenWeb but who is part of the conspiriacy to torpedo the Census Project. I can not at this time see voting for him but please go to the site and make up your own mind. Please reailize that anything you read may be tainted by Linda Lewis who will likely use other names in her continued effort to control the project. David Dennis, dddennis@concentric.net, UsGebWeb webpage for Lincoln Co., Ga + Chilton Co., Al, and Rootsweb mailing list owner for them and the SWORDS-L lists, among other things.

I refer you to my campaign page for my views on the delinking of the census project. I was against it, to make a long story short, and had hoped that the advisory board would vote to overturn the actions of the national coordinator. However, I fully support the actions of the board in voting 11-2 or 11-3 to disassociate itself from Mr. Eason's census project, after he incorporated it, first as a for-profit and later as a non-profit. He should not have used the word "USGenWeb" for his incorporation. I see that Dennis thinks all the lies are from one side. I really think there are two sides to everything. Do you still want Linda to die, Dennis? David http://www.nyx.net/~damorgan/campaign.html On Thu, 6 Jul 2000 dddennis@concentric.net wrote: > Hello fellow CC's.

Carol Wood is the CC of Marengo County. It's really nice when people write to the State Coordinator complimenting a county site. I thought you guys should join me in congratulating Carol. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 15:44:50 -0500 From: Randy Robinson <randy@parttimeincome.com> Send reply to: Randy Robinson <randy@parttimeincome.com> Organization: Watkins To: al@usgenweb.org Subject: Marengo County site I wanted to commend whoever is in charge of the Marengo County AL site. It's very useful and well organized. I wish some of the other sites were as good! For instance, there isn't a single document (that I can find) in the Tom Green TX site, whereas Marengo County AL and New Kent County VA (among others) has lots.
