All right folks! Out of 65 people on the Twiggs Mailing List, only three responded to my request for marriages. (And let me take this time to say THANK YOU to those three, I really do appreciate your support!) What about the other 62 people? I can not do this alone!!!!!! The Twiggs County list is such a friendly one. If you've never written an e-mail to a mailing list or shared anything, this is a wonderful list to work with. Everyone is willing to help you ...and there is no "wrong" way to write an e-mail. Even if you don't type very well, we don't mind typos at all. The main thing is to at least attempt to share what you have. I know that you all are checking the Twiggs site for updates, I have seen the counter go up by 400 visitors in just a few weeks. Why won't you share? I don't mean to offend anyone, and if I have then I am sorry, but this can not be a one person operation. I have put hours and hours into trying to get information online. What is probably at your fingertips I have spent time at the library getting (and then had to pay for it!) I have about 400 marriages in this database so far. I would like to get much more before putting it online. For those of you that do not know me, I do live in Twiggs County. I also work full time as an EMT. I normally work 72 hours per week. I have three children; ages 17, 15 and 9. I also volunteer as a Rescue Member and Fire Department Member for Twiggs County. As you can see I stay pretty busy too so that is no excuse for not taking five minutes to send me your information.
