One of my emails has made it into the Mailing List Archives,but not on the mailing list email yet. Anyway, I haven't received it. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MO-CEMETERIES I forgot to mention the De Soto Public Library to you, so I emailed them and sent your email. I hope you don't mind. I received the following back: From: "desotolibrary" <[email protected]> To: "'Orlena'" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Genealogy Dept., Please - Big Mess - Blackwell Cemetery Listings on MOGenWEB Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 14:54:00 -0600 I am forwarding your letter on to Lisa Gendron who is now handling the site. I do not know what has occurred but Lisa is a very capable woman and I am sure will find out what the problem is.

At time I sent my message to this list, I also sent copy to Blackwell list and to Jefferson County list, as well as a copy to the Jefferson County web site administrator. Hopefully, I'll hear something from the Administrator soon indicating that she's in the process of getting Jeremiah Blackwell's famiy out of the Masonic Cemetery and back into their private family cemetery. If I don't get a response, and no corrective action is taken, I guess I'll go to State coordinator who is over all the Missouri Gen-Web sites about the situation, but I'll wait awhile in the hopes that situation will be corrected on local level and that will not be necessary.

While it's not the same, they may know who to contact since it's also a rootsweb site.

I received an email from Lisa Gendron, She is NOT connected with MOGenWEB site. The new owner is LaDonna Garner, and her email is [email protected] I just received the following from Betty Olson, De Soto Public Library. From: "desotolibrary" <[email protected]> To: "'Orlena'" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Genealogy Dept., Please - Big Mess - Blackwell Cemetery Listings on MOGenWEB Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 14:47:55 -0600 To all of you who are trying to find cemetery listings all I can say is that the De Soto Public Library has nothing to do with the present errors in the listing for Jefferson County, Missouri. It appears Rootsweb is redoing some of their sites and as a result many errors are occurring.
