A good Labor (free) Day to you! I've gotten several volunteers to get Bob Miley's notebooks into a database. This week, I have a book to get done for a family reunion, and a newsletter to get out for a different family. Some time within the next 2 weeks, I'll go to the library and get copies of pages to start sending them out to volunteers. In my own databases, I've set the columns/fields up to have one each for: Surname Maiden name (if shown--this column won't be used much) Given name Middle name or initial date of birth date of death Comments on stone Shared stone? With whom? These will end up being alphabetical by surname. I have the descriptions and locations of each cemetery. While I would like to put a search engine on the cems, I've not really checked into the "how to go about its". I am sure Rootsweb has such a thing, but I've not figured out how to do it. After managing to get the WRV/Cherokee site part of a webring, I'm sure I can figure it out....(not! LOL) But I promise to check into it... Y'all who are volunteering have no idea how much I appreciate it. If I was given a magic lamp to rub and ask for 3 wishes, the first one would be "I would like to either have a way to get more than 24 hours out of a day, or else I need 3 of me!" <shudder> I don't know if the world could stand it...There's so much to do and be done in life, I have never been able to understand how a person (including my kids) could possibly get bored... So many thanks and much appreciation from the bottom of my heart! If you would like to volunteer, email me personally--and be sure you include your snail mail! mailto:[email protected] Vonda
