Dead Freds is very high on the list of possible ways to go with this project. It would be the the easiest and fasted way to get the photos online. Settiing up and maintaining our own [inhouse] website will take volunteer hours, which we do not have available now. It would be very easy to add a link to Dead Freds from any website. As most everyone knows, The Tishomingo Hist and Gen Society moved into the old court house in Jan of this year. The [genealogical] research library and [history] museum opened to the public on March 6th this year. The Grand opening is scheduled in be part of the Iuka Heritage festival in Sept. We have made many mistakes trying to solve the "growing pains" of a limited amount of space and will make more. But we do our best to profit from our mistakes. Even with all of our mistakes, our [meaning everyone who post data on this website and everyone else] venture is growing by "leaps and bounds". Since Genealogical data of any area in the US, is actually part the history of that area. We decided to name our venture, "Tishomingo County Archives and History Museum". Archices is the name, we use on a daily basis. Since I joined the venture in February, we have spent many hours opening boxes, which has been stored in someone's basement, barns and many other places. We still have a few to left to open. "I have been like a kid opening presents on christmas morning". The above story was told as a background to base the following on: The first decision to be made is; Can we setup and run a photo site on daily basis with the volunteers we have now. That question was answered in the first paragraph of this email. Therefore, if we cannot get a volunteer to run the site on a daily basis, Dead Freds, here we come.
