Shiela I agree, but people sometimes think since they came up with the idea, they may want full credit. I agree, duplicate listings are foolish and time consuming when it is readily availabe. If you feel you want to accept, I'll go along with that. = = = = = = = = = = = = Pat C., BHCD Quakertown, PA US BLUROC1@worldnet.att.net = = = = = = = = = = = = = Incoming/outgoing mail scanned by Norton 2004 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ----- Original Message ----- From: GEN To: CA-ONT-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 9:56 AM Subject: Your list Mom is cranky...Please read Dear Listers: I want your opinion of this important item. As most of you already know, this mailing list started a website entitled" Gateway to Ontario Cemeteries" in late March or early April of 2004. With the cooperation of many we have started a website that covers every county and district in Ontario. I would be telling a lie if I stated we had every Cemetery in Ontario covered........we don't but that is our goal. Janet and I made a point of seeking out other cemetery sites and ask the owners if we could link their sites to theirs. They were agreeable. Some sites not only had databases on a cemetery, but also had photos. About two months ago I got wind of a project that I thought was great, a Canada wide cemetery database providing location, transcripts etc. For some unknown reason they have never heard of our site, which I made the project managers aware of. Did I mention this project was launched late October of last year? I cannot understand why this project would want to duplicate work that is already done. Am I wrong for being annoyed? Should Janet and I just pull the plug on our Ontario Cemeteries Resources website when we were here first? I am not against the project, but I am against the duplication of something that is already up and running. The ladies who are in charge of the Ontario section of Canada GenWeb cemetery Project have been nice and have placed a link to our site. I am more than willing to carry the GenWeb banner on our site, but I feel we have been overlooked and snubbed, when{ in my opinion} we should be the official site for Ontario.
