Hi Folks, My website address is "The Sloan Connection" at http://www.panama.phoenix.net/~fmitchel/welcome.html I was having problems earlier this morning reaching the site myself, so Phoenix may have been off-line. I'm proud to announce that I FINALLY did an update to the on-line Sloan database. I've corrected most of the links, a few more to go. It's been 6 months since my last update and I've added 6,000 more Sloan/kin to the database. I guess a thousand/month is not bad. I've found one of my foul-ups already this morning (on the Joseph/1775 NC line) I'm sure there are probably more, let me know. BTW, Who is the list owner of the SLOAN-SLONE LIST? I believe Gary Porterfield gave it up and I never found out the name of the new owner. I lot of people believe it's me, by default I guess. Whoever it is, THANKS ALOT!!, I know you're the one that receives all the error messages. I had a lot of positive responses to the Sloan Rebels and identified a lot of the soldiers. Mucho Thanks to everyone, still a lot more to ID.. A NEW CHALLANGE FOR YOU. I was browsing my Street Atlas CD for places/things named for SLOANs and ran across some places that might be of interest to others. The CD is great for street/city names but lousy when it comes to counties. If I can Identify the Co. I can probably identify the Sloan family associated the place name. If you are familiar with any of these places, drop me a note.
