I realize now - that I sent the List Rules to Lewis County at a bad time. It was not done to criticize anyone. You people are a great group and I really enjoy the interaction here. Please keep it up. I had a situation on one of my other lists that warranted this action and I decided to do them all at the same time. With that said - I would like to introduce myself... My name is Jan Cortez, and I have just recently taken over the Lewis County GenWeb site from Jerry Reed. I don't live in New York, but rather in Michigan - so I need help with my genealogy as well. Can I give you my Roll Call? Lewis County was in the midst of one and I didn't mean to stop it. It was okay!!! I'm researching Snedeker, Bound, Van Arsdale, Probasco and Stryker. Early to late 1800's, then most of us headed out to Michigan and Wisconsin. Not me of course, I'm not THAT old, but my Ancestors. LOL Please forgive me for bad timing. Jan Cortez Lewis County Host
