Hi PABLAIR Rooters, Thanks for all the thank you notes I've been receiving. I'm glad you're finding the Blair archives helpful. Four notes to y'all from the sunny, 80+ degree suburbs of Atlanta, GA: 1. I hate hunting through all the archives pages for new material, so I added a What's New link on the main Blair archives page. You can take a "shorter cut" than that by bookmarking this url and checking it frequently for new goodies. I update this page with each file upload. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/blair/whatsnew.htm 2. Just a reminder that Blair Archives needs your files. Collections of obits , city directory lists, wills, land records, etc. you've collected for your particular individual surnames are especially welcomed. You'll be helping others, especially newbies (we were all newbies once, remember?) and connecting with cousins. Email me for details. 3. We have an MSN Group for folks to start THEIR OWN Blair county photo albums, http://groups.msn.com/BlairCountyPAGenealogyFamiliesPhotoAlbums but if you want your Blair ancestors' photos to be in the archives, I'm willing to create archives webpages for your scanned photos, grouped by surname. Archives rules say I'm not supposed to link to non-USGenWeb websites, but there's plenty of room in the archives for all our data, plain text files and photos, too. Again, please email me for details, or visit the link above to create and manage your own albums. If you already have a RootsWeb OR non RootsWeb Blair-county-related webpage, of photos or other information, you can add your url to this page: http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/PA/Blair/ 4. Thanks and KUDOS to Annie Whiteman for a great RootsWeb mailing list. Hope you find your lost files, Annie. I can tell you my heart's still in my mouth when I'm uploading to the archives, lest some catastrophe happen and I'd have to start over again rebuilding all those folders and files. Shudder. Again, thanks to all for your kind words and support, Judy Banja http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/blair/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabcgs/ http://groups.msn.com/BlairCountyPAGenealogyFamiliesPhotoAlbums http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/fulton/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/centre/
