Just want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and to say a special "Thank You" to all the lookup volunteers who have helped to make the Scott County USGenWeb page successful: Shirley, Patti, Charlene, Betty, Sue, Carla and Dale - you are very much appreciated! Also thanks to Charlene for taking care of the 1998 obituaries in the Archives and to Barbara for checking the Email addresses on the Surname page throughout the year. Recently I've added indexes on the webpage for the 1880 and the 1900 Scott County census. About 10 Civil War pensions have now been added, as well. Thanks to those of you who have shared these files with us. Have a very Merry Christmas. My hope is that 1999 will bring you all a great many "new" ancestors. Delaine Edwards
