To: All Members of the Louisa County Genealogical Society You do not have to be a member of LCGS to subscribe to the Ialouisa-L list. However, only paid members receive the printed newsletter that is periodically mailed out at some expense to the Society. Thus, it is a "members only" offer given below. As of this morning, I have started working on the Spring issue of the Louisa County Genealogical Society newsletter. This issue will contain the 1844-45 Louisa County marriages if you are looking for local marriages. Thanks to Ruthie Mickelson for typing these up for us. We don't have a President's letter for this issue so I am planning on Introducing Our Members who are on-line for the front page of this issue. That is right, Front Page billing, this month only, on a space available to the first ones verified. Some may have to be carried over to the back page if the list becomes too long. I have a list of about twelve members who are subscribed to this list or those for whom I have e-mail addresses. There may be more that I am not aware of. If you have a web page, please include the URL for that, too (for my information only at this time). What I need from you at this point is: 1. An e-mail from you verifying your correct e-mail address. Including snail mail addresses is also good so I can update my list. I will then check those messages against the membership list and if you are a member for 2000, I also need-- 2. Permission to publish your e-mail address 3. If you give me 4-6 surnames that you are primarily researching, I will also include your surnames in this newsletter. (Please do not send me 15 or 20 names as I cannot handle a large number of surnames in this offer). 4. This is for members only. If you aren't a member and would like to be, you will find a membership form on our webpages that you can print out and send with your dues to the address given at the top of the form. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialcgs/memberfrm.htm As you might guess I will be busy working on the newsletter this week so please help one another if you can.
