I would like to take this opportunity to thank Wyndell Taylor for his unselfish dedication to genealogy. He has worked many long hours maintaining web sites, mailing lists and transcribing records. He is a true Genealogical Gentleman. Thanks Wyndell....... About the New List Manager: I have several web sites that I maintain and have some previous mailing list experience. (But that was under the old system.) The list will not see any major changes, it will continue with the "guidelines" that Wyndell started. I do not foresee any problems, but if anyone has a problem, please write to me off-list and we will try to work out a solution. Just remember the basic rule: Treat others like you would want them to treat you. Do not post virus warnings, chain letters, political announcements, current events, current religious or political issues. No items for sale. Genealogical & Historical Society "news" & events will be considered, but please write to me before posting. Thanks to everyone for your patients while we learn the new system. Happy Searching!!!!! Doris Robbins List Manager
Thanks Dorris for taking over... but when will you have the time!! We are all very grateful that someone with such genealogy expertise has stepped up to take over! Lysa Agan N- Childree
With this message, I turn the control of the Polk County Mailing List over to Doris Robbins. She will make a great administrator for the list. I am having to cut back on some of my activities, and feel some new blood is needed in the mailing list. Thanks to each of you who have made this list a success. Wyndell Taylor Former List Manager
