What an excellent idea - http://www.excel.net/~sebring/index.htm -- Marti

You guys have done a great job of answering the questions. What if boils down to is: 1 - at this time there's not a single archivist for any county in OK. They dropped that little bomb on me last night <huge sigh>. Really all the archives is - is a place to store information that for as long as possible will be available for searches by anyone - no matter what happens to an individual page. And the information belongs to the submitter not to usgenweb. It can't be sold or used in anyway for profit. There's really not a good explanation up on either the usgenweb pages or rootsweb so I'm working on one. A good example is the USCensus project. many volunteers are working lots of long hours to transcribe every single us census record and get it up on the web. That way if you want to look at Muskogee's 1850 census you can go to the Table Of Content for Ok, Census, 1850, Muskogee and read it line by line. No it's not the original but it's a great thing and a great project. The big projects - tombstones, census, etc. get all the advertising. The rest of the archivists is left up to the state and county archivist to get the info formatted and uploaded. Whether it's 10 marriages or 1 bible record. So if anyone wants to volunteer send me a note. I'll let you know as soon as I get an explanation page OK. Oh yes .... the usgenconnect question. Yes it will search all the sites. let's say you want a particular name and it's found on my county page, the search engine will fine it if I have submitted my page to usgenconnect. If I haven't then it won't be found, The usgenweb search engine WILL search every archive file.

Hi David -- Events at 8 p.m. CST are at 6 p.m. out here on the West Coast, which is usually around dinner (supper) time. It is always difficult to schedule these things because of the time zones and our personal lives......... frankly, I'd vote for Sunday afternoons.

I was there at 4:15 HST, which I think is 8:15 CST, and also at 4:40 HST or thereabouts and nobody was there but me. After 8 pm. Texas Time, I received an e-mail from Trey Holt, that he sent at 5:17 p.m. saying that irc.rootsweb.com down and the Texas chat was moving to somewhere else. It wasn't down for me, I got in. If anybody is on Unix besides me, type irc irc.rootsweb.com and that will get you to the place. David dmorgan@efn.org * David W.

What are your recommendations? I have only one list for Adair County, and my other counties are done by others. Do you see a problem? Should I get a list for my remaining county - Nowata? I was hoping that I would not have to be bothered with lists in these counties, but will do what you want me to. Advise. Will be back permanently as of this coming week.

Linda, if we use GenConnect on our OKGenWeb pages than aren't they searchable through USGenWeb? And another thing I don't quite understand, you said OKGenWeb and then USGenWeb, which site is the information kept on. Not that we are not all together in this but just wondering.
