Hello Lincoln COunty researchers.... As Tracee pointed out in an earlier email today the Lincoln County genealogy email list has been down for at least a day. The company that runs the list, rootsweb.com, took down a bunch of their email lists in order to do some "plumbing work." This is the sort of necessary stuff that causes problems but must be dealt with when you live along the Information Super Highway. Unfortunately with the down time came a few problems. Some folks were inadvertantly logged off email lists by mistake. Of course sending this email out to the list isn't helpful for the folks who have been disconnected from the Lincoln County list because they're not getting it! But I would say that if you don't hear from another rootsweb.com email list that you subscribe to and get mail from regularly within a week you might want to check to see if you are still subscribed. Many thanks to Tracee for ALL OF THE INFORMATION (excuse me for yelling but that was a heck of a lot of stuff, Traccee!) she has recently put up on the webpage. Keep in mind that this is a volunteer run effort so thank you's are the "pay" contributors get. With that in mind I told Tracee she needed her "salary" doubled for all the work she's done.... so I'm giving her a THANK YOU!!!!! that's twice as big as usual!<grin> Happy hunting Bill Sowers
