Dear Union County Researchers; Thanks to all of your support the Union County Genealogy Mailing list has grown to over 140 subscribers. I would also like to commend you all on the way you keep this list on a kind ,friendly and helpful basis. I have been on some other mailing lists where it seems like the only thing they do is bicker. I have never seen anything like that on this list and I do appreciate it. There is something I would like to do, for those of you who are interested. There are still quite a few genealogical researchers with roots in Union County who don't use the internet. A lot of these people use the Heritage Room here in Union County. We have a listing of the surnames you are researching and your e-mail addresses on the Surname page, but it does not include your "snail" Mailing addresses. What I am proposing is compiling a list of your names and mailing addresses along with surnames you are researching to be on file in the Heritage Room. This will give you a chance to make connections with other researchers you otherwise might have never found. If you are interested in having your address (and phone number if you would like) on file at the Heritage Room just e-mail it to me and I will get this compiled. Please send the messages with the subject line: "Union Co. Address". I would also like to encourage those who are not already members, to join the Carolina's Genealogical Society. Even if you don't live close enough to attend meetings, the quarterly Bulletin is well worth the cost of membership. Julie Ganis does a great job as Editor of this publication. I would also welcome any suggestions on how I can improve the Union Co. GenWeb. Thanks and Good Luck with your Research Randy Godfrey Union Co. GenWeb Coordinator Monroe N.C.
