For those who are not members of the LCGS, I think we need to clarify things a bit. Louisa County IaGenWeb is unique in the fact that it operates in total conjunction with the Louisa County Genealogical Society unlike many other sites. I have consistently consulted with the society and tried to work in harmony with their wishes to avoid a conflict of interests. It is mistakenly thought by some that this is an LCGS list. This is not true!. And I don't want to convey that message to the majority of our subscribers who do not belong to the LCGS. It isn't fair to them to convey that message. LCGS does make use of this list to interact with the public and its members but the rest of you are welcome to participate equally. At one time we became concerned about what happened to the on line data if something unforeseen happened to the coordinator. For that reason I designated the LCGS as the recipient of the material on line if I were no longer able to service it. That material is currently on the "ialcgs" website. But I am still alive and on deck with the official passwords. I want every single subscriber to feel like this is their list, not someone else's and I don't ever want to convey anything different. The success of any project is in making everyone feel welcome and a part of the project. This is "your list" as long as I am here. I am the moderator, yes, but I prefer to let you all run the list the best you can with as little interference from me as feasible as long as you can do it peacefully. While we have a number of LCGS members on the list providing genealogical services on the list, this is an IALOUISA-L list associated with the IaGenWeb. It is not an LCGS list in case non-members are wondering about this. The IaGenWeb and the Louisa County Genealogical Society are not synonymous even though it is difficult to determine the difference at times with the same person at the helm of both pages. Actually, I maintain several different websites on line. Since I am currently maintaining the The IaGenWeb page and the LCGS pages, they are interlinked and probably would remain so as that is where most of the data is located. The IaGenWeb pages are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialouisa/index.html The mailing list and GenConnect remains with the IaGenWeb website and would go with that website if I were to give it up and let another coordinator take over. It would not necessarily remain with the LCGS. However, the LCGS website that does have the Louisa County Genealogical Society's material on it remains the property of the LCGS and it is at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialcgs/index.html I also maintain the Henry County IaGenWeb pages and the mailing list. I do not belong to the Henry County Genealogical Society. I was just born in that county. The website, mailing list, and GenConnect will all be turned over to Sheila Carr as soon as the tax season is over so she can better serve that community. All told, I have seven or eight websites I maintain and only the ialcgs page is considered the Louisa County Genealogical Society website in my books. Now, I guess you know everything I know, so good-night. Norma Jennings
