------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- I am forwarding this because it is a worthwhile project. Got me off the dime and I got the notes for my grandparents done and I've already sent them to Lin. Pass this on to others who would participate. Linda From: "Ethelind (Lin) Wright" <ethelind@gateway.net> (distribute freely, but ask permission before posting to any lists, and please trim headers). Announcement: The Grandparent Project As an aid for current and future genealogists, I am launching the grandparent project. I am asking those who wish to participate to write a SHORT biography of your grandparents[see footnote 1]. Include full names and places where ever possible. These biographies will be placed on a website[2] grouped in the geographical area where they spent the majority of their lives (with links from other areas and an all-name index). Send submissions to me at either ethelind@athens.net or ethelind@gateway.net[3] Ethelind Ruth (named for both grandmothers) Wright footnotes: 1. Grandparents if deceased; if they are living you might want to get permission before submitting. You can include other relatives if desired (siblings, spouses, aunts, uncles, parents, great-grandparents). 2. Initially at www.ethelind.com/gparent/gindex.html (although there is nothing there yet!) - probably I will ask for a site at rootsweb and volunteers if this takes off. 3. I will proof for spelling and may edit for length if necessary, but generally won't make changes to submitted biographies. Ethelind (a.k.a.
