Your feedback and suggestions are both most appreciated. Per Brian's response, he and I have started discussions that we intend will lead to cooperation between the WRVHS and the Taney County GenWeb site to prevent wasteful duplication and to make it as easy as possible for researchers to get to what they need. WRVHS has done an outstanding job on the cemetery front over the years. Your suggestion for photos is a good one. I'm sure we will end up with an archive of photos of people, houses, places, etc. of interest and value to genealogists and local historians. And whichever site any specific material is located at (or wherever else it might be found on the Internet) it's our intention to make it as easy to find and to use as we possibly can. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sharon Fulton [mailto:texsam@cox.net] > Sent: Monday, April 28, 2003 6:10 PM > To: MOTANEY-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: RE: [MOTANEY] new Taney web page > > > Hi - I like it - are you going to incorporate all the Taney > Cemeteries into > it? > What about a place for pictures of tombstones?
