And thanks so much for all the hard work you put into the Barry CO site. Alice Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: Donna Cooper To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 2:23 PM Subject: [MOBARRY] Whee, Six Years! List Readers, six years ago a door opened for me that I only I could understand as one of the most important doors that has ever opened in my entire life. On January 12, 2006, I became the coordinator of the Barry County web site - a day I shall never forget. That day I spent twelve hours at the computer and had 198 e-mail messages that were straightly for the web site. For months, I worked twelve hours a day - every day! It was overwhelming! When I went to bed that first day, I wondered why I had agreed to take on something so time consuming. As a coordinator, I have helped you by organizing projects that I think are important to have on a genealogy web site. We have added cemetery stone photos, historical newspaper extracts, census, marriages, war pages, many miscellaneous projects, and thousands of old photos. When I open Picasa 3 it counts 144,667 photos on the Barry County web site, I imagine that is probably about ten thousand more than we really have since some are duplicates. Most of our family photos are historical - and only a handful was taken after the 1930's. I generally refuse photos taken after 1950 since that is getting out of the range for genealogy and historical days and more into the amusement or pleasure stage of family photos. We do have a Face Book page with many photos on it - but there, too, most date before 1930. The things that make Barry County tick are many, but mostly it is researchers who care deeply about genealogy - who take pride in who they descend from and how that they report their records. For a successful web site like this one, it takes a great deal of time to post and to keep up with things that need to be updated. At the present time, I am behind on posting cemetery updates, but those records will be there waiting for me when I can get to them. So don't stop posting them - keep on giving us your updates and feedback. We love it. For the first five years, I did not take any time to do my genealogy or any projects for myself. The past couple of years I have had the help of Phyllis Long and so I have taken some personal time to do some things that I enjoy - like traveling. Among all the things I have done - the projects that I have managed to do and with the time I have spent away from the web site and computer have been many. I dipped into remodeling, which has been the most time consuming of all things . Remodeling an old house built in 1896 is beyond whatever you might image that it is. It is a job and a half! Then in December, I did DNA and took time to study the results hoping to solve my Simpson mystery. I even took some time to do some fictional writing and sold a book. Many years ago, I published and so this wasn't a new adventure for me - just one I had put on hold and had in recess. I only wanted to say thanks for the great ride - for the friendship and support that you have given me for the past six years. I hope we will have many more good days and times to come. We still have a lot to do. With my birthday coming up tomorrow - right now, I am feeling pretty old. I think that 70 years old is probably too ancient to stand on a ladder and paint walls. So, I need to find the motor on my paint brush and finish what I have started.
