Hey Everyone!!!!!! For those of you unfamiliar with US GenWeb procedures, the Archives of every parish in the state are ranked each month according to file size. In the same manner, each state in the nation is ranked. Below is a message from Jan Craven, LA State Coordinator, and the attached file showing the individual parish stats. Winn Parish is #1 right now.................but Natchitoches has moved up to the #4 spot!!!!! I want to say THANKS to everyone who has submitted files for the Natchitoches Archives!!!! Watch out Winn.............here we come!!!! If anyone has the time and would like to type up files for the Natchitoches Archives I am sure that Kay and I can find some to send to you if you don't have anything to submit!!!!! Just let us know. If anyone has any high school annuals for Natchitoches Parish Schools for any year..............dig them out, dust them off and start typing!!!!!! Gaytha From: Jan Craven <jcraven@iamerica.net> Hey everybody, The count is in and it's official -- Winn Parish Archives is NO. 1 IN THE STATE!!!!!
