To all JEFFERSON County list members I have been researching the mailing list archives for the last two days. Eddie Mikell says he had permission from the List Owners to post his information on Jefferson for the last 7 years. I have found NO record of any permission from any list administrator connected with this county for permission to post anything. The first time his name even appears in the Archives is in 1999 when he had a problem with messages he posted on Jefferson Davis going to Jefferson by mistake. Carolyn Switzer wrote to Rootsweb and had this corrected. He did not begin sending the History of Lawrence County to Jefferson County until 2002. I have been unable to ascertain exactly which month. This may have been another rootsweb mix-up with Jefferson Davis or not. But apparently some of you enjoyed the posts so nothing was done to prevent him from posting his work. However he did not start adding the sales availability of his project until just this year. I know some of you have let me know you like what Mr. Mikell has contributed so far. What I would like to do, to be fair, is to allow Eddie to continue to post if he agrees to remove all requests for donations or sales information from his posts. And now I would appreciate it if we could all get back to our research. Happy hunting for those ancestors! Ann Allen Geoghegan Jefferson County Mailing List Admin.
