Lise, A cordwainer is a shoemaker, apparently of a better quality shoe than a cobbler. When I first saw that term, I just assumed it was someone who cuts cords of wood for fireplaces! Good thing I came across the definition in the last few weeks, otherwise I would continue to be misled! I had to comment on your will abstract, especially since Elizabethtown falls in Union county (now). I just started two new boards on www.rootsweb.com/~njunion, for Bible records and for obituaries. I've already posted about 20 obituaries on the new board. Only 3 are related to me. So far, no action on the board besides mine. :( I also posted the Luster-Gulick and the Roll-Kidd Bible records on the other board. I think these boards are great because of the search engines, and how the surnames can be found in a countrywide search through GenConnect. It also allows people to actively participate in putting information on the NJUNION site, instead of just me. However, there are other boards available---wills, deeds, pensions, biographies---but I'm in that wait and see mode. I've noticed other USGenWeb people have added the boards but not gotten much response. I'd prefer to only start a board if I have a sample or two to post to give others an idea of the format. So, Lise, would you be willing to put your will abstracts on the NJUNION board? If so, I'd be happy to get one up and running so people have access to this valuable information. Thanks! ---Robin www.rootsweb.com/~njunion
