Hi Everyone, Just in case you haven't seen this...and also a personal message from me. US County Resources at RootsWeb http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/ or <a href=http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA">US County Resources at Rootsweb</a> >For those of you who may not know (and even those who do), RootsWeb has >developed "Resource Clusters" .... websites containing links and search >boxes for all the various resources available on any RootsWeb server. > >We now have Surname Resource sites and US County Resource sites. > > http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/ > http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/ > >Part of the process in developing these sites was to fill out or make full >GenConnect suites for each of the top 10K surnames from the RSL, and also >for every US county. (a suite of boards is one of each type: query, bibles, >bios, deeds, obits, pensions, wills). > >Some of you may have only one or more of the "types" of boards for your >chosen surname or county. We have now created all the other "types" to >fill the suite. > >If you'd like to request that you be allowed to monitor these new boards, >we've provided you with "Adoption Request Forms".

Well, we are finally moving! Friday we sign the papers for a new home and by Monday or Tuesday, we will be on our way...moving from this apartment to our new home. I've got pictures up at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~micajah/ourhouse.htm if you care to go by and take a look. I'm going to have to be offline, probably 2 weeks, give or take a few days. Elizabeth Harris, ncgen@mindspring.com will monitor the counties and mail lists, while I'm away. Since I won't be able to keep the cable modem after the move, [it's a different cable company where we are moving to,] starting today, I'm doing away with the micajah@mail.newnanutilities.org If you send any messages to me, use micajah@mindspring.com .....I'll still get them, but you'll get a "I'm on vacation message". If there's a corner somewhere to set up the computer, I'll try to at least check mail, on an regular basis. Chester county SC is up for adoption so if anyone is interested, contact Victoria Proctor, vproc@ix.netcom.com SC for SC. I've given her all the passwords and ftp setups. If you decide to adopt it, you'll be getting the entire county intact, so you don't have to start from scratch. The mail list and genconnect boards are to stay with the county coordinator and the new resources, provided by rootsweb have already been set up so you'll have those too. I love Chester co, dearly, but I've exhausted all the resources I have for Chester Co research, and it's in need of someone new to take over. Someone who can bring more into it, than I can.
