Hi Ethel and Charlotte and HCGS, I am sorry to hear YOU are having so much trouble using the MyFamily.com sites. There are so many in GOOD Ones in WV. The HCGS site has about 175 names on the list and only about 50 have ever signed in and only about 15 use it regularly. Thats not a good average. I am glad to hear someone admit to why. I use to have much the same problem but after being persistent I was able to sign in to the HCGS site. Since that time I have joined 15 more. These sites in WV have some of the most friendly people on it and a wealth of info, stories and pictures. Some are fairly new and have grown at a rapid rate. Some sites can have a hundred people sign in a few days time. I don't think YOU have enough time to view all the pictures, history, family trees that are on these sites. I would recommend joining this site. The ladies on this site have written a guide and are on there to HELP YOU use their Calhoun, Roane, Braxton, and Clay Co.Tombstone Site@MyFamily.com. I would write them for some guidance. I have used their guide. Most all these sites are free and paid for by the administrators themselves with donations from various users. I sponsor 4 sites of my own and have paid for the HCGS 2 years running. and have donated to some on this list. I am disappointed in the use of HCGS. It really only serves 10 people out of 175. It is a closed site for members of HCGS. I think it might be better to open it up to the WV community. Harrison County was an important part of WV History. NOTICE HCGS is not on the list and neither is Harrison County. There are more sites but I grabbed Carolyn Bakers list because it was available. I would be glad to help YOU ladies any way I can. I would scan your pictures and put them on site for YOU. Jim =================================================== Calhoun, Roane, Braxton, and Clay Co.
