Greenup County Researchers, Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am to be the new listowner for the Greenup County Discussion List and Greenup Co KyGenWeb Coordinator. First, I want to thank Darrell Smith for work he has done, to help the researchers in Greenup Co. KY. I addition to this list, he has done a *wonderful* job of creating and maintaining the Greenup Co KyGenWeb webpage. I hope I can do justice to his prior work. He has graciously volunteered help me in the changeover(I will take him up on that!). I'm sure you will want to join me, in extending a *huge* thanks to Darrell. Darrel will still be in the background researching and submitted info. Darrell, I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors!! I am researching in Greenup Co. myself, for my husbands line. I live across the Ohio river from Greenup Co. I have found that the families tended to migrate, back and forth across the river. I found this out, on a family line that lived in Greenup Co. and married in Lawrence Co. OH., then lived afterwards in Greenup Co.. I'm still looking for the brides family, on both sides of the river. Please feel free to drop me a note with help, suggestions, tips and problems. Info is always greatly wanted, needed and appreciated. I am a firm believer in sharing info, for the greater benefit of all researchers. Unfortunely, there are those that have to mess up the system. Therefore, I have this, and all the other lists that I maintain, closed. This is to cut down on the spam and those that are looking for addresses for spam. This means that to sub and unsub, the request comes to me, to be submitted manually. This is more work for me, but *spam* is a real pet peeve of mine and I do not mind the extra step. In the last week there was a spammer that hit the lists, but did not make it to my lists. Rootsweb has resently added a anti-spam program to the server that is helping to cut down on this. The closed list will also block non-subscribers from reviewing our archives to gather addresses. If anyone has a problem submitting a queary. Please contact me at chipmunk@zoomnet.net I will do my best to help with any problem. This great info exchange on the internet has taken us lightyears ahead in genealogy (I remember doing mass mailings in Greenup Co., just four years ago! O.K. I was desparate!!!). ;-D I hope we all make great progress with our research. Bye for now and good luck!! **************************************************************************** ******* Betty Lou Riley () chipmunk@zoomnet.net ~{_)/ Ports.,Scioto Co., OH `` List Owner OHADAMS-L, KYGreenu-L and McGOVNEY-L *Check out my Web site (Riley's Camp) at: http://www.zoomnet.net/~chipmunk/ *Look in the Forest for my Family trees.*
