Hi Connie I thought of that also . I offered to do lookups -- on another list tht I have resources for . I dont really have any for Meigs county yet . I also do lookups for RAOGK under another e-mail name so as to keep better track of requests . RAOGK is a great resource for those of us who are living on a tight budget . " Give and it shall be given unto you " :) . I have really been helped a lot by these great people who take the time to share a resource with others . There are always going to be people who take advantage of others and give nothing in return . But the people at RAOGK are just really going the extra mile to help each other find their roots . I would like to suggest to anyone on A LIST that if you have purchased resources -- census records - cemetery records - deed records - ect for a particular county , why not help out someone else who cant afford to buy all those resources that we need to track our families . If we all pool our resources together we can find our roots so much easier . I just received some great cemetery pictures from Dewayne on the Arkansas list . He went the extra mile for me & I am so blessed by that ! I also received some obits from a kind lady - Sara - in Illinois who spent a half day searching the cemetery for my gggrandparents graves <- they had NO markers . people like this are angels in the flesh . What a great Christmas gift ! :) :) :) RAOGK -> pass it on :) Thankyou Sara & Dewayne & Laurie & on & on & on Crys-sheri

Hello - You suggested that 'we' use (?) RAOGK ... (( RAOGK -> pass it on :) )) But I have no idea what that stands for... nor do I know where -->> Meigs county is... I suggest that when 'we' make the effort to give, 'we' give clearly... Unlike Santa I am unable to travel the globe to 'know' where every place is and what their acronyms are. I don't think 'this consideration' takes an extra mile just another minute or so. I get frustrated when I have to type out everything - but it is for the 'readers clear understanding that I do.... Sharing resources is a waste of time and energy if readers don't understand where the various place names are located and those unknown abbreviations slay me...
