I want to welcome those who have recently subscribed to this list. There are now 166 signed up in the list mode. The list has been quiet lately, so I am asking anyone who has a brick wall to post a query. If you live away from Lawrence Co., I, for one, would welcome the posting of Obits., both current and from older papers, for anyone with Lawrence Co roots. This has been happening on several of the lists I receive, and is a good source of info. Please remember to include a full citation of the source: including the name of the publication, city and state, and date. If found on microfilm, it might be helpful to include the location of that film. Most of that could be set up as a signature, and added with one or two clicks. Those items could be transceibed into your word processing program, and then copied and pasted into an email. If anyone has been transcribing large items, please contact me for info on how best to make that info available to the whole list. There is another Lawrence Co. list hosted by Allen Richmond and his Scioto.org family of web sites. That list has been much more active, and if you aren't already, I would suggest subscribing to it also. Just go to Scioto.org and follow the links to join that list. He has a lot of Lawrence Co info on line there. Probably the best web site for Lawrence Co research is at www.lawrencecountyohio.com Rootsweb forwards only plain text, so you will have to copy and past or type those addresses into your browser. If anyone knows of other useful sites for Lawrence Co research, please share that with the list. If anyone has specific questions about Lawrence Co, and doesn't want to post them to the whole list, feel free to email me directly. I am the corresponding secretary and Newsletter editor for the Lawrence County Genealogical Society, OGS Chapter 74. I am also now an Ohio Genealogical Society trustee, representing the Athens district, which includes Athens, Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, and Vinton Counties. I would also welcome queries that can be published in the genealogy society newsletter, the Lawco Lore. There is no charge for queries about Lawrence Co families. Those should be sent directly to me, and include your mailing address. Phone number can also be helpful. For anything concerning Lawrence use the contact info below.
