Hello everyone. The Eddy County Project is proud to announce that we have a new volunteer: Pam Wapniarski from Mesa, AZ. Pam has taken on the task of transcribing the obits from a Carlsbad newspaper (on-line) and posting them on the web page. For the last two months she has been working on our web page to re-design the obits section. Last night we got our new obits link up and all the files posted. She has put a lot of hard work into this and has done a GREAT job. Please join me in welcoming her, and check out the web page. I don't think she has subscribed to this list yet so if you have time please drop her a short note at ebmom@uswest.net http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Enmeddy/eddyfiles.html Richard Eddy Co. Coordinator

Ms. Marsh, Nothing I have available lists a Scalier or Scaler Ranch in Chaves County. The closest geographic feature I found is Escalante Lake in Lincoln County near Corona. Someone on the NMGenWeb mailing might have an idea where to look, so I'm including the list in this message. It would be helpful to know date ranges when this ranch was in operation.

The logo contest is underway! We invite your ideas and designs for a new USGenWeb logo. For more information about the contest, please see http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/logo_contest.shtml . USGenWeb in the News . . . USGenWeb gets some very positive press in Nancy Hendrickson's article, "The Web's Greatest Hits" in the February 2005 issue of Family Tree Magazine: USGenWeb <www.usgenweb.org> If American genealogy were a swanky hotel, USGenWeb would surely occupy the presidential suite. The free, all-volunteer Web site houses marriage, obituary and tombstone transcriptions; church records; census images; and much more. You can search all these resources by clicking the links under Search Engines on the home page. In 2000, the Special Collections Projects (Click on Projects) started, with scanned images of out-of-print books journals, family letters, and photographs. The heart of USGenWeb though, is the network of state, county-level pages that allow researchers to post queries and connect with anyone climbing the same family tree or prowling the same locales. As reader Phyllis Stehm explains, "You can't beat the USGenWeb for finding people in an area who really know it and can help you with possible sources to check." Congratulations to each and every USGenWeb volunteer! Your dedication to the concept of free-access, grass- roots, online genealogy has given The USGenWeb Project a wonderful reputation as The Place to Go for free information and advice from friendly, knowledgeable, neighborly people. We should all be very proud of what we've accomplished so far, and excited about what we look forward to accomplishing in the future.

Navy Commander Thomas E. Dunlop of Neptune Beach, Fla., will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery on March 21. On April 6, 1972, Dunlop took off in his A-7E Corsair II from the USS Coral Sea on a bombing mission of enemy targets in Quang Binh Province, North Vietnam. While over the target area, his aircraft was struck by an enemy surface-to-air missile and as his wingman watched, Dunlop's aircraft exploded in a fireball and crashed. No emergency beeper signals were received from the area of his crash. In April 1993, joint U.S. and Vietnamese teams interviewed five residents of Quang Binh Province about the crash, but the information did not further the investigation. In 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1998, U.S. and Vietnamese investigators interviewed at least 13 other people in the province without results. Meanwhile, U.S. survey teams visited potential crash sites in 1995, 1998 and twice in 2002. Again, no useful information was obtained. Then in 2003 and again in 2004, specialists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) excavated a crash site where they found aircraft debris, personal effects and human remains later identified by JPAC scientists as those of Dunlop. Of the 88,000 Americans missing in action from all conflicts, 1,836 are from the Vietnam War with 1,399 of those within the country of Vietnam. Another 747 Americans have been accounted for since the end of the Vietnam War. For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans from all conflicts, visit the DPMO Web site at www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call 703-699-1169. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- News Releases: http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/ -- DoD News: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/dodnews.html -- Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/dodnews.html#e-mail -- Today in DoD: http://www.defenselink.mil/today/ -- U.S. Department of Defense Official Website - http://www.defenselink.mil/ -- U.S. Department of Defense News About the War on Terrorism - http://www.defendamerica.mil/
