Dear Marie, To tell you the truth, I became so frustrated with all the pettiness on the Marion County site that I decided to focus my energy elsewhere. The Marion County site is a mess with incomplete and misspelled words. Darrell Bell either has more important things to do or he doesn't know any better. I sent him the information on the new LDS Family History Center in Ocala which he has yet to put on the site. Jenny Lind is sitting on a pile of information that she won't post for other researchers to find. Lot's of folks won't contact a "look up volunteer" because they feel they might be imposing or would rather find it themselves. Susan McCue has written a book she can be very proud of. It was a lot of hard work. Yet, when I walked and transcribed the Gore Cemetery, which is also in her book, she raised such a fuss that Patti Peterson took it off line. Susan's EMail address is no where to be found on the Marion County site for those with questions for her. I volunteered to transcribe cemeteries in Marion County and was ignored. Susan's Gore line and our Gore line may indeed be connected back in the 1700's, but her mind is closed to that. All kinds of disasters like fire, flood etc. have and can destroy "hard copy" records. What is posted to the internet will remain for all posterity. In genealogy, there is no better service than posting vital records to the net. With all that in mind, I am now volunteering at the new LDS Family History Center in Ocala, transcribing as a volunteer for the Immigrant Ships Transcriber's Guild, and transcribing and indexing marriage records for Monroe County, Michigan, where my paternal ancestral roots are firmly planted. Perhaps when there is a "new administration" in genealogy on the Marion County site, I will be able to help. Please keep in touch as I feel you are a genuine researcher who cares about preserving history for those who come after us.
