Genealogy friends and OGS chapter members, On Friday, we received word from Time Warner cable that our Jackson County chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society (JCOGS) has been chosen as one of 5 finalists for a statewide "Save Our History" grant award for the work that we are doing to save from further destruction the James Cemetery in Jackson, Ohio. Of the 5 finalists, we are the only genealogy society chosen and we are also the only organization picked from our southern Ohio area. Beginning Monday, April 16th and continuing thru 4/27, you can have an impact by going online and VOTING for our project!! And PLEASE, forward this email to your family, genealogy friends, work partners where permitted, etc whose email address you have. The link to the Time Warner site where you can vote NOW is: http://www.AroundRR.com/SaveOurHistory While all 5 projects are worthy candidates for this award, the Jackson County chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society hopes that this is an opportunity for the genealogy community to unite, speak with your vote and let it be known that there are many of you who also feel the need to protect these sacred family cemeteries. Thanks for your help and again PLEASE VOTE. And just as importantly, please FOWARD THIS EMAIL to your circle of genealogy friends, etc. Anthony Coyan, Secretary - Jackson County chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society
