Their program works on a differnet concept from the Rootsweb program. I think (someone please correct me if I am wrong) is that you register your surname with them and then your query is placed on their website. People can review these queries and then post a query of their own to that person. I have not had much luck with this, but then again the ones I posted are my brick wall lines. The Troup County GAGenWeb Project is a part of the USGenWeb Project at http://www.usgenweb.org/. The purpose of the project is to put resource materials valuable to family genealogists on the WWW for free use by everyone. It is a strictly volunteer effort. The Troup County project is a web page. It is not a mailing list. It is on Rootsweb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gatroup/ The way the query system works is that you post your query to the query forum and it shows up instantly. The surname list is automatically updated every week. > David posted a couple of queries telling you about his web site which has some excellent links posted on it and a great site to check out. His posts to our list requested that you answer directly to the link he put at the bottom of the post. When doing so it took you to his web page or to that person (I don't remember). I would like to see answers to post come to the board, so that those of you who may be connected to that line could see the answers and join in. I asked him if he would consider doing this, and he decided to leave the list instead. So if you need to contact him please email him or visit his web site. He didn't put the link at the bottom of the post. That is done by the computer query board and he just forwarded the message to the list. You requested that he not post the queries to the list anymore. He hasn't. Not everybody that posts to the Troup County query board is on this list. If the response is posted only to this list, then the person who made the original post might never see it. Melvin
