Carol, What does it take to become a list owner? I'm a contributor to Rootsweb. I grew up in and lived in Nash and Edgecombe Counties all of my childhood. I lived in Nash, Edgecombe and Halifax Counties as an adult from 1957-1979. I have been doing research since 1957. I am very well acquainted with these counties. I have a teacher's degree which requires LOTS of research. I have taught from pre-school through college. I am very computer literate. I can also do some programming. I have a web page. Furthermore, Mike Simmons and I are probably kin.....duh! He is in Texas. How many lists can you guys handle? A CROCKER cousin in SC and I have about decided we are spinning our wheels on most of these lists. We give and receive little. He has even placed a gedcom file for the name worldwide on the Internet. I do hope this is not a snob issue in genealogy as it has been in the past. ?????????? I did not even get the courtesy of a note from the former owner. Rude! He didn't keep it but about a year, I think it was. I also offered to take the list then. OK, it's off my chest. I guess Mike and I are going to have to publish our research. Onto documentation.
