As a mail list subscriber, I'd like to put in my Penny's worth too. I'm one of those 'newbies' who has recently discovered her roots in the ealiest settlers of Owsley Co. As a Gabbard, I'm probably related in some way to almost everyone residing in the county. And I know there's some great Gabbard stories out there. But unfortunately that information isn't on the county page. Most of what I've learned I've gotten from blind luck phone calls to strangers and e-mailing other people saying, 'Are we related?' There are still many things I don't know or that I have clues to but don't know who has the answers. I too would LOVE to see the OWSLEY page filled with census records, deeds, marriage records, cemetary records, family histories, personal accounts, etc. like I've seen on so many other state and county pages (and like Rita suggested). It's not that I'm lazy, but living in another state makes personal searching very difficult. There's nothing quite like the joy of bouncing up and down in your computer chair crying 'Yippee!! when you run across something that you've been searching for for ages. I know I want a lot .. but I'm certainly willing to contribute to the effort. I'm a very good data entry person and would be willing to donate some time transcribing records to diskette so they could be put on the webpage. The problem is how and where I'd get the records. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or does someone have other suggestions for something I could do to help out? Unfortunately, as a net 'newbie' I'm afraid I know very little about page management or the things involved with it. But if anyone knows of something else I can do, just let me know!
