This is a reinvitation to check out our new web site: degruy.myfamily.com We have over 120 vital records, 3 historical files and 9 photos uploaded so far. We upload daily, so the site is always changing. The reason I haven't been posting to the list is that uploading takes time and I need concentrate on scanning and doing commentaries for the site right now. Instructions follow. If the reason you haven't subscribed yet is because you are having trouble, please let Celine [cmjacsalaska.net] or I [degruylist@earthlink.net] know and we'll try to help you. You can try it out as a guest, using the password given you, or if you "formally" subscribe [no fee], you can pick your own password. After you see what's there, ask yourself... do I have anything in my genealogy file cabinet that would contribute to the site? a photo of an ancestor? a document? a legend? a recipe? a story? It would be great to get some variety here. I've been posting mostly records from the Louisiana Archives... but they never give as much info as the Archdiocesan records... so if you have any of those...that would be a great gift to the list.
