Going to try posting this sad message involving a very active on-line Plymouth County genealogist to the Plymouth list again for the 3rd time - maybe 3rd time is charm. I tried yesterday 2Xs and neither got posted or at least never came back to me. Today I have received 2 messages posted by Dale from this list soooo maybe the Rootsweb mail servers are up and running now. Rootsweb has been moving stuff and such involving their mail lists to new servers for the last 2 days and this has caused all sorts of disruptions on several of the mail lists. CJ McNew (Cathy Joy Lasselle), host and creator of many USGenWeb sites in Plymouth Co., MA, and of many many other genealogy on-line projects has died. She is now doing her genealogy with primary sources - her ancestors. What a treasure she was for the on-line genealogy community. In just Plymouth County, MA she created and hosted the grand USGenWeb projects for: Hingham, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahingha/index.html Bridgewater, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~mabridge/index.html Marshfield, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~macmarsh/index.html CJ, you will be sorely missed! Am including the message I received from a member of her family yesterday morning as others may wish to express their condolences to the family. =============================================== Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2002 11:16:32 -0500 To: Susan Taylor <SGTaylor1@att.net> From: cj <cmcnew@pdq.net> CJ (Cathy Joy Lasselle) McNew passed through heavens gate on July 30, 2002 in Rockport, Texas. I don't have all the details of her current involvement with your organization. She derived great pleasure from her work with USGenWeb over the last few years. God Bless, David G.
