    1. [KYDAVIES-L] Rootsweb success stories needed
    2. Rita Fox
    3. I'm a freelance writer and a genealogist. Several years ago, I sold a story to Kentucky Living about the KyGenWeb project, which grew into USGenWeb and has since merged with RootsWeb. It lingered in the files a while, but now they'd like to publish it--this August, I believe. I only learned that yesterday after returning from a two-week vacation, so I'm going to need to submit the revisions to them by tomorrow (Monday, July 2). The only source I haven't been able to contact was the user with a success story, so I need to rewrite that portion of the story--and you could be the person with the story to tell! If 1) you have been using resources on the Kentucky portion of Rootsweb and have a success story to tell (about locating an ancestor or finding living relatives you didn't know about); 2) LIVE IN KENTUCKY (rural Kentucky preferred and an RECC customer would be great, since this is their publication); and 3) are able to answer these questions by e-mail no later than 7 a.m. EDT Monday, July 2, please e-mail your responses to me at rfox@mis.net. 1) How long have you been using Kentucky's RootsWeb and which county pages have you accessed? 2) What did you think of KyGenWeb/USGenWeb/RootsWeb when you first discovered it? 3) What has been your greatest success story using Kentucky's county or state pages at RootsWeb? 4) Where do you live? (City or county, whichever you prefer. If an RECC customer, please mention that.) I may have follow-up questions, once I receive your response. Thanks in advance for all takers! I'll be sure to send you a copy of the final article if I quote you (as long as you provide your snailmail address). I'm on digest with this list, so please don't reply to the entire list without copying me at my e-mail address or I might not receive your response in time. Rita Fox <rfox@mis.net>
