Hello Everyone: The most terrible thing happened at my house -- to make room for a game, my son deleted all my document files: all my genealogy stuff, Clinton databases, web sites -- all gone! I do have a back up, but it is from last November. The good news is that I can get back everything that is online. I have also recovered some stuff from my mailbox, but not much unfortunately. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of projects that I will have to start over. One of them being the scans for the 1925 atlas that the volunteers were working on - so, this project will be postponed for awhile. If you have sent me any info or files that are not on our website right now, could you please resend the info? For any of you that had asked for copies of things or look-ups from the Historical Society: As it states on our webpage, I really don't have time to do those. I am working on getting some more contacts who are in a much better position and so much more knowledgable than I am about Clinton County. I will post the info to the mailing list when I get it. I hope that you all will close this email and take whatever measures you need to to make back-ups of your data. Take care and enjoy whatever weather we are getting at the moment <grin>.
