Evelyn- you are so right! And thank you Evelyn for prompting us to learn more about GAINES and the art of mining research here in Mariposa- Glad we helped the Great State of Texas:-)! We really are a team , both on this list and on the website. Many of us have been together since 1997- working to help each other, newlistmembers, and just getting information out there for those that will come along down the road one day- Folks visiting the Mariiposa GenWeb site have written me telling me what a wonderful resource the researchers of Mariposa County are by providing their contributions of data and assistance. Now is a good time for me to thank you all again, and tell you that one of our special folks- listmom, Sharon Dulcich, will be assisting me with the website......! She will be our Co-coordinator(:-) for Mariposa County GenWeb. Most of you know Sharon has been here for us performing listmom duties for many months now, keeping us rolling along very nicely. Now she will be joining me in the admin of the website! We have plans to make and announcements will be made about special additions and projects to enhance the website! I am very excited about the possibilities of what we can do- and as always we will welcome your suggestions and contributions of material and ideas for the site................. Sharon , enjoy your vaction.....cuz we are going to be really busy as we have fun during the next few months brining more Mariposa History and Genealogy to the Mariposa GenWeb!
