Some of you may be subscribed to the Illinois-Roots List. There was a message sent out today that would lead you to believe that I am giving up the Effingham County GenWeb page and the Effingham County Mail List. The glut of e-mails I received tells me of your confusion. Let me set things straight. The Effingham County Mail list is "mine"......I am the administrator. The Effingham County GenWeb site is a part of the ILGenweb and thus a part of the USGenWeb, which is hosted/served by Rootsweb. I am the county coordinator and intend to remain as such. The message that was sent out by Dawn Wells relates to a parallel effort about US counties that is hosted/served by GenExchange. It is in no way affiliated with the USGenWeb. Actually, there are three parallel efforts related to US counties: USGenWeb (which I am affiliated with); GenExchange, and American Local History Network (ALHN). Let me assure you that I have no intention of giving up the ILGenWeb Effingham County page, or the Effingham County mail list. I'll continue to do the best I can for you and hope that my efforts please you and aid you in your research. I hope this answers your questions and sets the record straight.
