Betty, Most have not been aware of it but there have been some real problems in the GA GENWEB Project over the past several years. I was not even aware of the scope and magnitude of these problems them until about six months ago, after being trashed on another county mailing list by someone who was "then" the Metro Atlanta Coordinator for the GA GENWEB Project. All of this was after I asked why these folks were copyrighting our family information. Information, that we had freely submitted to them for their use on these websites. That genealogical information is "our information," not theirs and these excesses in copyright infringement were just the tip of the iceberg. Needless to say, I went after them all the way to the top of the US GENWEB Project and even to the managment at Rootsweb. Those of you that know me, know this old journalist (and Marine) can be pretty convincing. However, there were lots of folks in on this, not just me, but we now have a whole new crew, for the most part, in the GA GENWEB Project. This new crew in the GA GENWEB Project contains many dedicated folks, some from the former administration and some, new, like me. When you go to to the GA GENWEB Project's home page, you will already notice the differences. If you have a certain GA county for which you would like to be the County Coordinator, drop by the GA GENWEB home page (http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/) and put your name in the hat. I would suggest you have some knowledge of website design and know how to use FrontPage because you will need both of these to set up and manage a county site. John R.
