    2. TINA PEDDIE
    3. *ABOUT NEW WLKNSN CO. BOARDS (WILL BOARD, DEED BOARD, BIBLE BOARD, etc.- we will be POSTING particular types of info on these Boards, like posting info on a BULLETIN BOARD.... so we call them BOARDS....) OBITUARIES: Ideally an OBIT would be something from the newspaper. If you have OBITS from newspapers, pls. post that. But many of the early newspapers didn't really have the type of obit that we have today, so feel free to add information that you might know about the survivors and create your own obit. (Not to be confused with info that would go on the 'BIO' BOARD, below.) BIOGRAPHIES/Family Histories: BIOS could be anything from a listing of just the family members to some actual facts about the family, where they lived, worked, etc. This info will hopefully be of use to someone else someday. This is a great place to put ALOT of good info about particular families. Remember, though, this isn't a place to put Queries or Questions..... just straight INFO and FACTS. DEEDS - WILLS - PENSION RECORDS - BIBLE RECORDS .... these should all be pretty self-exlanatory. Put as much or as little info as you have for all of these. Even just a bit of info with names, dates, places, as many details as are available, that will pinpoint people and places. It will take us a while to get these BOARDS going strong, but a little at a time will help! I haven't had time to go post some info I want to, but will try this week! I think BOB FISHER has posted something somewhere on there. You can see his! Alot of the info that we post here would be appropriate for the BOARDS...... We will get the feel of it, and figure out what should go where...... This Wlknsn Co. LIST is a great place for making contact with people, cousins, sharing info, giving advise, suggestions, connecting and sharing family info....but the BOARDS will be a place we can all go to and post our facts and info, and know it will BE THERE INDEFINITELY for everyone to benefit from. So if you hear from a new cousin somewhere and they want to know ALL THE INFO YOU HAVE ON YOUR GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS, you can say, "GO OVER TO THE BOARDS and read what I've posted there and you'll know everything I know!" (well, sort of!) Let me know if this is confusing, or if you have any questions about it. It's fairly new to me too, so don't feel bad if you don't get it right away. The best thing is to just GO TO THE RESOURCE PAGE, and then go down to almost the bottom of that page and you'll see the PUZZLE PIECES that you can CLICK ON to go right to the particular BOARDS (Wills, Bios, Deeds, etc.) I had wanted to have some of my own info posted on the BOARDS before telling you guys aboout it, but if I didnt tell you NOW, I'd prob. get too busy and wouldnt get to it for a while! So here it is! Have fun, and ask questions if you need to. I'll do my best to clarify anything I can! ALSO, be sure to see the other LINKS from the RESOURCE PAGE!!! The Link to the GAGENWEB PAGE is a MUST!!! It's a great webpage for our County!! And look at all the other stuff on the RESOURCE PAGE too, as you scroll down to find the PUZZLE PIECES to the BOARDS ... there's lots of other links! BE SURE TO SEND ME YOUR WEBPAGE if it contains WILKINSON CO. HISTORY OR GOOD WLKNSN CO. STUFF..... we can get us all linked together! **Ok, now you can go take a nap, since you've made your way thru all this!** *best to all, *TINA/CA* List Mgr.
