    1. Changes at Warren County USGenWeb site
    2. Hi Everyone: Some of you have begun to notice changes at the Warren County site at: http://rootsweb.com/~nywarren I thought I'd outline them for you here. 1) I've switched to MSFrontPage. Causing some small difficulties at first but getting hang of it. Web counters and page revision dates are not yet working though. 2) Added a new Warren County & Discussion Board. As many of you know, last year GenConnect (the system we were using) and Ancestry.com combined everything into one board. One downfall that some do not like is that they have to register, even though its free. This board will allow you to bypass that. I created it with FrontPage. Its hosted on another site though because rootsweb doesn't allow for the extensions that make it work. Try it out. 3) Added another set of historical letters. These ones are Civil War letters written by two brothers from Warren County. They were transcribed by a descendent of another brother of theirs, Tom Dunne (<A HREF="mailto:ThmsDunne9">ThmsDunne9</A>@aol.com). He also transcribed the Civil War Elistment Rolls that were added a few years ago. Great job Tom! 4) Added a few more smaller cemeteries. Middletown and some others. Would the person that sent them to me please let me know who you were again so I can give you credit. I think I know who but I need to verify. 5) Created a set of sublinks for each township. I'm going to be setting up a template for each town and then looking for volunteers to adopt each township site. If you have an interest in contributing for one of the townships then please let me know so we can get rid of the ADOPT ME and put your name down. If you have an interest let me know. You do not have to know html. I'd like to include a historical blurb about each township, cemetary listings, vitals, etc. I can convert most word processing programs to html fairly quickly with FrontPage. For now lets see if we have enough volunteers to do one township per individual. They will be assigned on a first come first served basis. 6) Fixed a few broken links. Working on some more. I've got some emails of people over the last year that asked to have information included. We'll start getting to it. Its been awhile since we had any information added but based on your comments I know there is still a lot of useful information on the site. While my last job kept me very busy I was unable to keep up with the page on a basis I'd would've liked but my current job will allow me some more "free time" again. I try to have a life outside of genealogy. I actually tried to find someone to take over for me awhile back but there were no volunteers. Watch for some new features.....these will include a volunteer lookup page so those of you willing to do lookups cna sign up then and help others.......also will be revamping the surname page into a more detailed look. Checking out some other sites to see which is best. That should do it for now. Have fun Todd Easton Warren County, NY USGenWeb CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywarren
