Following item is from Rootsweb Review dated 8/29/2007 Vol 10 No. 35 1a. 1 Million Mark Reached on the USGenWeb Archives As of 2 a.m. (MDT) on Friday, 24 August 2007, the USGenWeb Archives had 1,000,569 files stored, browsable, and accessible by a single search. The 1 million mark was reached when Cynthia Daigle uploaded a compiled cemetery listing for Moses Baptist Cemetery, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The USGenWeb Archives was developed in June 1996 to present transcriptions of public domain records on the Web. This huge undertaking is the cooperative effort of volunteers who either have electronically formatted files on census records, marriage bonds, wills, and other public documents, or who are willing to transcribe this information to contribute. The USGenWeb Archives is hosted by RootsWeb. Thanks to all USGenWeb volunteers for the hours they've spent walking cemeteries, hunching over microfilm readers, and scouring courthouses and libraries to provide the first million files. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb

Yes, that's true. All the more painful.
