Sheila I think you and Janet have done a wonderful job and I love your site. Please keep it up. I haven't heard of the other site until now. But I do know how you feel as I have done tons of work on things which I have shared with others only to have them put my stuff with theirs on the net and take not only the credit but add lots of errors to it which makes my help to others less since they now thing they got good info. off the web already which could be an error. An example is a transcript which has a lady 149 years old when she died.

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.
