I was looking back through some old emails, and found one about posting family information which I either did not answer, or answered from work -- which doesn't leave me a paper trail. Anyway, I thought I would answer it here. There are a number of resources for posting information on this family at RootsWeb, which we can use. 1) Post new information to this list. Odds are, somebody reading it will be interested. 2) Post your own GEDCOM at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ 3) Use the surname resource pages: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/index.html http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/b/o/BORDEN/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/c/h/CHAMBLESS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/d/u/DURFEE/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/g/a/GAUSS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/g/l/GLENDAY/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/h/o/HORNE/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/j/o/JOHNS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/s/a/SANDERSON/ Post your personal web site on the pages that are relevant. Each resource cluster has links to the surname bulletin boards. There are boards for Queries, Bible Records, Bios, Deeds, Obits, Pensions and Wills. You may request to be notified whenever information is added to each bulletin board. I think these could amount to a rather impressive collection of information about our surname. At the moment, there is not much traffic on any of these boards for the above surnames, but I think they have great potential. There are also resource clusters for geographical areas. -- S Susan D.
