Yahoo Groups might be well suited for this - there is room for pictures, posting messages, files, etc. There's even a capability for chat if it's wanted. I moderate two groups; one is for the Alger-Sullivan Histoical Society (www.groups.yahoo.com/group/algersullivan) and one is South Alabama Kin (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoAlaKin/). It is as "automatic" as the moderator allows - I screen the members' first several messages - and when I am certain the members are genuine I allow posting of their messages unmoderated. I (hesitatingly) "volunteer to moderate a Yahoo Group for this purpose if you wish to try it. It does require you to go through a "joining" process which means you'll need to use an ID and password to gain access. This is rather painless, but it can assure privacy and security. Let me know. Regards, Jerry Simmons

Lee, You're going to have to be a bit more explicit in your response. What is "Yahoo Groups" and how does it work? Does it need a "keeper", or is it automatic without filtering or screening? Etc. I don't use Yahoo unless there is no way around it, because it's so open and unmonitored. But if there is a place on Yahoo that would meet the needs of those who what to put those types of things onto a site, that would be great. Tell us more.

There is a newly created index of genealogy sites presented by Brian Leverich (originator of RootsWeb) Here is the beginning link in case you haven't found it yet : http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/ Ginny http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~vgdeagan/index.htm

Hi Ginny, Thanks for your reply to my question about writing my memories of Pensacola. I appreciated such a quick response. Someone on the list said they would, but I forgot just who it was. I am not a pro at the computer, I am still learning. Thanks again, Pat

Ginny, Would it be OK to write something like a story, of all your memories starting from young childhood to teenage years? Just kind of leading form one to another. Signing your name including your maiden name? I moved from Pensacola after that. Would we send it to your personal email address? Thanks, Pat

Why not start a list at Yahoo Groups. You could post pictures, links etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ginny Deagan" <gdeagan@bellsouth.net> To: <FLESCAMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB] PENSACOLA MEMORIES > Hi, > > I am sorry but I only said that I would put something on the Escambia County > GenWeb page when someone else had put it al together.

Hi, I am sorry but I only said that I would put something on the Escambia County GenWeb page when someone else had put it al together. I don't have time to take the individual stories. Also, I am not the administrator of the FLESCAMB-L mailing list but I agree with Cynthia that there should be a separate mailing list for Pensacola Memories. It isn't hard at all to start one. Just go to: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listrequest.pl Rootsweb has a page to tell you what list administrators have to do. Once a list is started, there really isn't much work at all. I am not sure who the administrator for the current mailing list is, but I am sure that everyone would appreciate a separate list for the memories.

Hello, I would like to know if someone who is going to the Pensacola Library soon could do something for me. I was there in July twice but the second time it was closed (Monday). I am no longer in the area. I would appreciate the lookup. Could you contact me at gisb22@yahoo.com ? Thanks a lot. gis --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail is new and improved - Check it out!

thanks for the update Gloria

Hi there. My email address that you should reply to has changed. Please make an update in your records.

keep me in mind if you find out anything, mother was born 1916 and was also put into the Children's Home when she was about 5/6 years old. In 1920 she was still living with her "grandmother", Mahala Wynn, but in 1930 I find her with the others in the Pensacola Home on 705 E Jordan Street. Have you ever tried to obtain her file? If so, what did they tell you? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Bolmon" <abolmon@nctv.com> To: <FLESCAMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB] Re: FLESCAMB-D Digest V04 #41 I, also would like to know about the Children's Homes in and around that area.

In listening to the conversation about Pensacola memories, if all of you would like, I would be more than happy to put them on the Escambia County GenWeb page when you have them together and then they would be available for everyone to see. If they are done in MSWord, putting them into html is really easy! I wish I had some memories to add but being a relative newcomer - we came in 1968 I don't have much to add.

From the moment we began to "weigh in" on John Jernigan's orginial question, I began thinking that there SHOULD be a way to allow us more seasoned residents to begin to reminisce as a group, submit several letters or papers of memorable places, events, or people from our earlier Pensacola---and , of course, the outlying communities---for me, it would be Navy Point and Warrington. An extension of this interest would be to submit stories, memories to be gathered and compiled for placing in our library stacks, or ....? There could be no end to these things, as we build on each other's stories. If we had our own board, each person could, of course, print out his own copies, and make his own book. Of course, we've learned from earlier reminiscing" on the boards, that the county Discussion Boards were not the place for us to reminisce and chit-chat, ad infinitum!! But I wondered like Cynthia, if a special board or venue could be made---JUST FOR OUR NEEDs. I've considered this in the past, but never noticed the interest we've seen lately! Wow! Vanessa has given us the road map, now we just need a Board Administrator--- Cynthia, do you have anything else to do in your life? ;=) How 'bout it, folks? Sounds like fun!
