Hello Lincoln County researchers.... We have two new queries on the Lincoln County KSGenWeb page. Both appear at the bottom of the query page. Surnames mentioned in the two queries are: BOWLIN, CROWL, McDONALD, RUPIN, WOODY The query page can be found at: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/queries.html As always the new surnames have been added as linked entries on the surname index page at: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/lincs.htm We have a new birth added to the Lincoln County Birth Register page.... HARDESTY, Oda http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/birtha.htm A bit of "back patting" to all who have contributed to the Lincoln County page. We recently received statistics for the entire Blue Skyways KSGenWeb server which includes the pages for 101 of the 105 counties of Kansas. The stats listed the top 50 pages visited at KSGenWeb for a six month period. Most of the top 50 visited pages were "statewide" sites but there were some individual county pages listed as well. Overall the main page for Lincoln County ranked 21st of all KSGenWeb pages visited. Of the individual counties within the list "little" Lincoln ranked 8th!.... behind the bigger counties... Sedgwick, Johnson, Shawnee, etc. YAY FOR ALL OF US!!!!! Good job. Keep that information coming in. OK... celebration's over... back to work.<grin> Happy hunting Bill Bill Sowers (ksdocs@ink.org) Kansas Documents Librarian/Tech Services Librarian State Library of Kansas 300 SW 10th, Room 343-N -- Topeka, KS 66612 (In the State Capitol Building in beautiful downtown Topeka) (phone: 785-296-0265) (in-state WATS 800-432-3919) CHECK OUT THE TOPEKA LIBRARIES ONLINE "ATLAS" CATALOG at: http://lib.wuacc.edu/
