I must apologize to our list members for my negligence in monitoring the list. I have been so busy working on our own Cemetery Database that I did not realize that our list was being used for a "paid Ancestry.Com project". It really isn't fair to Rootsweb to take advantage of their generosity in providing this list to our subscribers free of charge so their competitors can profit. Since Ancestry will undoubtedly charge for the use of this material at some later date, I must ask that this list not be used in the future to help promote a project for any of Rootsweb's competitors. This really has nothing to do with what we do for one another and I hope everyone will continue to help each other in researching their roots. To avoid any conflict of interests, our cemetery listings no longer are linked to any other counties, but consist only of those researched and prepared by our own members. We will eventually have all the cemeteries on line thanks to Len Bowen's initial efforts in scanning all available published data into an Access database plus the contributions of several other members in trying to verify and correct any and/all errors possible. Breaking this down into usable on line files is now a monumental task but it will happen. Initially, with an index to the existing cemetery book, and eventually, the corrected and additional entries found and added to the database. While this will be a useful resource, I still encourage you, whenever possible, to seek out the original source. We are all human and make mistakes. I do utilize various resources on the Internet and I have no problem with you helping others by pointing out where these resources are, but we should remain loyal to Rootsweb when we are using the resources they have provided for us and not use this list for our own profit or that of a competitor. What seems like a minor incident, if allowed, could lead to more prolific usage in the future. I apologize and hope we can all move on to more constructive issues. Sorry, folks, but I have to follow the rules, too. And I should never have allowed this to happen. Listowner Norma Jennings
