Bonnie Just a quick note to tell you that I have finally used the Search Engine on our new FLGen Website--- WOW! Congrats on that. What a time-saver! You're doing GOOD! More later. Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonnie Griffis Lewis" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday,

It does indeed look like the old site! There is a new logo and my introductory paragraph is different. There are also some new files on it. If you click on the old web site address, there is a program that automatically switches you to the new one, because the files are not on the old server anymore. The new host is flgenhistonline instead of rootsweb. The USGenWeb has always had its own server and now the FLGenWeb does, too. Whichever site you click should definitely come up though. Maybe refreshing your screen would help. Please do let me know and thanks!

I visited Dot Smith at the Haven this afternoon. She is still on oxygen but was down playing bingo. She will be going to the hospital on Mon. to have some fluid drawn off her lungs. Should only be there for the day. After that, they will decide if she should have some surgery. She said to tell her friends at WFGS hello. Cynthia

The new "RootsWeb Review" format. For those of you who don't know, the "RootsWeb Review" is a weekly newsletter that's been going out to RootsWeb.com users for ten years. Julia M. Case and Myra Vanderpool Gormley edited the publication for the first three years, after which Myra took over as sole editor. Yesterday, 23 January 2008, the "RootsWeb Review" went out as an HTML newsletter for the first time (it was a text-only newsletter prior to that). This was thanks to help from some great people at The Generations Network, Inc. Unfortunately, only the text versions are currently archived on RootsWeb.com so there is no easy way for you to see the new newsletter format unless you subscribe to the newsletter. If you want to subscribe, go to http://newsletters.rootsweb.com/ Best, Jana Lloyd Editor of the RootsWeb Review P.S. To see the archived *text* version of this week's newsletter (no HTML formatting, sorry), visit http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/review/2008/0123.txt

Oops! I did the same as Ginny. My apologies to the list. However, my gratitude is extended to one and all for the many years you have each blessed my life. My relationship with WFGS and my work at PPL have been treasures I will remember always. God bless. Judy Jolly p.s. David, I will get the balance of the expense check to you. Bruce, I will leave the remaining cartridges and the redeemed coupons at PPL for you (or whomever) this Friday.

Dear Ginny, I know you're exhausted from this battle. But, even though weary, that pretty head on your shoulders is still smart and wise. You're right to take more time to build your energy back and to prevent any kind of secondary infection or relapse due to germs from other folks or from this weather. Whenever you feel well and strong enough to return to the genealogy department will be the right time - and not sooner. You're worth waiting for, so don't you worry a minute. I thought more about the November and December 2006 obituaries. I know they're not duplicates. That's when my mom passed away and I just stopped processing the collection during that time. I had pasted all the others during a trip to Fort Myers in mid-November. Mom passed away the day after Thanksgiving. So we need those for the 2006 collection. We sold our home yesterday and are tentatively planning a late February or early March move. Although I have such mixed feelings about leaving here, I know it is the right thing and it is the right time. Obviously, my PPL days are numbered because of packing and other related responsibilities. I hope to be there this Friday and the next (February 1), but that's probably all. I will always be grateful for the years I was permitted to be involved with the library. I'll take good memories with me. Take good care of yourself, and do as the doctor told your son-in-law. Lots of rest and fluids and stay warm. Love, Judy

I am sorry that this message went to the whole list!! I should have paid more intention - I had intended it for Judy.

Dear Judy, Thanks for the update on the library. I am still trying hard to get rid of this cold and hoped to go today for my volunteer day but my head is still congested and I am still coughing some. I don't think I could give it to anyone now but I just don't have any energy. I have had it for 15 days and am really tired of this. My son-in-law has the same thing and started about 4 days before me. He went back to the doctor on Monday and was told that there is nothing to do for it except keep warm, rest and drink lots of water. I have the 2007 Obit book finished and am starting on the 2008. I want to have you look at the Nov. & Dec. 2006 obits that were in the box to see if they are duplicates but just haven't had a chance. I did make a quick trip to the library last Sunday to get some books since I was out of good reading material but I came straight back home. I am afraid that I will just have to write January off and hope that February is better!! I try not to get discouraged but I really need to get out and do things. My family have been great while I have been sick and especially my daughter, Pat who calls every day before she leaves work to see if I need anything that she can pick up. Hoping to see you soon.

Dear Judy, Thanks for the update on the library. I am still trying hard to get rid of this cold and hoped to go today for my volunteer day but my head is still congested and I am still coughing some. I don't think I could give it to anyone now but I just don't have any energy. I have had it for 15 days and am really tired of this.

Hi Everyone, The Escambia County, Florida obituary collection moved today from the shelves in the Escambia, Florida section to the top of the local history/family surname file cabinets on the south wall. Two good things: (1) more room on the shelves and (2) more room to research the obituaries in the area with more tables. Thanks to Jo Ann McKay for taking care of such an important task. Also, Bonnie Walters, today's new volunteer, will begin working on Mondays during the early part of February. Bonnie previously worked at the Huntsville, Alabama library in genealogy and archive-related responsibilities. She's doing Mayflower Society research and is a member of a UDC chapter in Alabama. She has great experience and will be a real help to us all. She was so pleased we needed more volunteers!! Peggy sent off an impressive Georgia order today. Lots of county records, among them Warren, Jefferson, Clarke, Chatham, Hancock, and others.. We'll have to make some more room! Thanks again to all for your cheerful service and generous support. Judy Jolly Genealogy Volunteer

Effective today, the Escambia County FL USGenWeb site has changed from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/index.htm to http://www.flgenhistonline.com/counties/escambia/escindex.htm (please bookmark!) Part of the notice on the old home page gives some of the details. The main one is that under the informed recommendation of the FLGenWeb leadership, the FLGenWeb voted to incorporate the FLGenWeb Project as a Florida Not For Profit corporation. It remains associated with the USGenWeb. Rootsweb, however, would no longer host the majority of the FLGenWeb sites. Some of the counties chose to remain with Rootsweb and others chose different servers, but as of November 25th, 37 counties have moved and others are in the process of moving to the new server for the FLGenWeb. As with any major move, there will be glitches. We ask for your patience and understanding, as well as any suggestions you may have to make the process easier. As far as Escambia County goes, you may be interested to know some statistics. Our web site is almost 300 MB with almost 900 pages. It is HUGE. I completely dedicate the site to Ginny Deagan, who fostered it from the beginning. I am in awe of what she did and the more work I do on the site, the more in awe I am. Thanks to Ginny, the Escambia County GenWeb site may be the largest in the entire state (and probably other states, as well). Please help to continue what Ginny started by researching and contributing material for this website and the researchers who need it so much. I will do my best to get it on the site as quickly as possible. Thank you for your support and God bless.
