Susan, Has the Grundy web page been taken? If not, I am considering taking it myself. I have had NO experience there (so I know I am not the best candidate ) but my SAVANT family did settle there for a number of decades. Alan Jones Mission Viejo, Calif.

I will be running it temporarily until a new coordinator can be found but I can not help anyone. My life long Grundy County experience adds up to living in Minooka for 5 years in the 1980's, grocery shopping at the Eagle in Morris, hanging out in the hospital emergency room a few times with sick kids or a dying husband, and (shhhh) having a few beers at the Grundy County Corn Festival once. <G> Anyway, if anyone is interested in adopting the county it comes complete with the account, the mailing list, and the pages as is to use forever or temporarily until you can make your own. :o) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Illinois USGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilgenweb The Illinois Civil War Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw Illinois Ancestor Registry http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilgenweb/queries Cook County IL, USGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcook/cook.htm Stone Cnty MO., USGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostone/stone.htm Barry Cnty MO., USGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/barry.htm
