I just put Taylor County on the Automated Query System. The reason for this, is to make sure that all the queries submitted will be in the SEARCH ENGINE. Those queries that I have fed in by hand, will remain where they are....but those will not be in the National Search Engine. Just like anything new, the system takes a little getting used to....but give it a try, and hopefully visit it often! One of the pluses is that you can now correspond with someone about a surname and query and if you RESPOND to the MESSAGE right on line then your material will also be saved. This is a real advantage when people join in with our research at a later date! (I'm behind and some of the last queries and surnames that you submitted are not on-line yet....but I'm working on it!) A SURNAME list is one of the next things that probably will be added to this system. I really did like the SURNAME system that I had used, but because queries would not be able to be found in the SEARCH Engine, I decided I'd better make this conversion at this time! OBIT FORUM At the same time, I signed Taylor County up for the OBIT Forum. This means that you can go in and post at any time your personal obituaries. Then they will also be available for SEARCH Engine searches. I have added J.J. Ruffin just to try it out. TAYLOR COUNTY LIST Now let's get this List moving! We still have so much to share, and now we can all share with one another. You never know when something that you are interested in may be of very great interest for everyone else! LOCATED DESCENDANT OF GREAT-AUNT I've been so delighted to locate descendants of a long-lost great aunt. Her descendant discovered the will that I had posted in the GA Archives, and sent me an e-mail. Of course, I was just amazed. Shows that the ARCHIVES really help get your name out there too!
