Hi everybody, Our new web sites are up and ready for information to be input. I've left all the boards open to anyone who wants to post for the next 6 months. Hope all of you will take a few minutes to go by and check out the new locations and post information to them. And be sure to let your other family members who are not a part of the mail list know so they can post if they like. For those cousins who are aware of everything, I will be sending a duplicate message to Kathleen Mangum, Larry Brand, Dean Smith, Randy Mullinax, and Frank Davis. So you guys don't have to follow up. The Query page will be archived after one month. However, all the other boards, i.e.; Obits, Biographies; Wills; Deeds; Bible Records; and Pensions will stay resident for 6 months before going to archives. Remember the web searches for what's in the subject of a message. That means if you want someone who's doing a search on the Internet to find you then you'll want the correct wording in the subject line. This will not be a good place to do a reply leaving the subject as is. Change it to what you want found. This is also a place to be sure your email address is correct. I understand there is a lot of email generated by these web sites. For those miscellaneous items like letters, wedding announcements, or a whole list of marriages you can still place them in a query. GenConnect is looking at producing other boards for these items, its just that they're not ready yet. I will be subscribing our mail lists to receive all new posts to the various sites, so we'll know about them first and know if we are interested or if its something we want to delete. That means that if you just posted a message to one of the sites then you'll receive an email copy via the mail list for your records just in case you want to keep it. This message will be going to all my lists at the same time. There are at least 60 people who will want all the web site addresses in one post for their records. Madalyn, I'm sorry. Just delete three of them. And Wyndell, you know what to do. I've decided to allow the advertising of books that pertain to the surname only. For instance, I'll be placing information in a query about how to obtain the book "The Descendants of John Spearman of Virginia" unless you'd like to do it Debbie. Let me know. Is there anyone who wants to supply info about how to obtain a copy of "The Agee Register"? But you all need to know. If the book being advertised doesn't have some significance to the surname it will be deleted. The other piece of information you'll need is that I'll be editing. That means if a query gets posted to a Bio site I'll copy, delete, and repost it to the proper place. So if one of you accidentally get something in the wrong place, don't worry, it can be fixed. In case anyone is wondering the Brand mail list is for my father, James Asbury Brand. My father's mother was named Mollie Evelyn Irvin, hence the Irvin surname. My father's grandmother was Melissa Jane Moore and her mother's name was Mary Jane Spearman, hence the Spearman surname. My father's great grandmother was Harriett Winn and her mother's name was Nancy Agee, hence the Agee surname. Hopefully this will help a lot of my cousins on all the lists know where I fit into the schema of things.

Ya'll can start posting. Hope we all find our most wanted relatives and crash through some of those brick walls. Be sure to keep a weather eye on our mail list, this is where someone may want some help from you before they actually post to a particular board. And as always if you have any problems, just drop me a line, I'll do the best I can to help. Thanks to all of you for all of your support. Enjoy donna list host AGEE BRAND IRVIN SPEARMAN
