Bonnie, Thank you for your support :) Rootsweb is not the ones you need to be mad at though, they will give out accounts to any one. The web site is NOT gone, it is STILL up at two locations now, the old rootsweb and also the new site which will cover ALL of the state of SC, and ALL counties. The Pickens and Newberry are up and we are assigning coordinators for the other counties. If anyone has an interest in helping with this NON PROFIT group effort just contact me via howdycuzin@aol.com. ALL the work is there and ALL transcribers and volunteers are still working hard to have ALL the census up by Christmas :) I have delayed my trip this week to take care of the stupid boards that have been totally messed up as of last night. (thats a WHOLE 'nuther issue though...and I'm getting it solved) Pickens Web Address: http://www.scgenealogy.com/pickens/ Newberry Web Address: http://www.scgenealogy.com/newberry/ Keep ya'lls heads up 'cuz SCGenealogy.com is on its way, FREE to ALL researchers, like before, just bigger and better!!!! You have my word on it! Say a prayer for me, Im trying to learn CGI Scripts tonight and I do not have a clue LOL....
