Anyone know what's happened to the OHGenWeb. It's been offline since Friday. When you click into the domain, http://www.scioto.org/ this is what you find: "This domain has temporarily been disabled. To restore the domain, contact your Customer Support." Have been unable to reach either Allen or Judy by email. Jan

Apparently the server went down - I was able to get the voter list though - so if you track down Allen or Judy (emails are on same server) let them know that OH is covered.

Hi Ellen, I am very curious WHY J. Myles Felihkatubbe, Elections Committee Rep. - SWSC keeps sending membership list requests from the following address. How do they expect a response???? ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <foreverandaday7@aol.com> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to air-yj01.mail.aol.com.: >>> RCPT To:<foreverandaday7@aol.com> <<< 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND 550 <foreverandaday7@aol.com>... User unknown Is this a bogus request from this individual? I know that state coordinators are suppose to respond in a timely manner and that the membership list is suppose to roll over into the NEW registration list on Feb 1, but it seems strange that KS (and probably other states) have a representative requesting information that doesn't use a current email address. We had this same problem at least one other time. Carolyn Ward KSGenWeb State Co-Coordinator

Hi, Everyone - It's that time again - First Quarter requests are being sent by the EC to each SC for a list of all volunteers within your state. It's especially important this quarter that we receive accurate lists from everyone, as at the end of January all members will be automatically listed as Registered this one time. We don't want to miss anyone. Effective this year, only Registered members will receive voting passwords. Additions/deletions/Email changes are accepted at any time, but it's especially important to send in your lists to your EC Rep during these quarterly updates. Ref: EC Procedures http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/procedures.html Thanks! Ellen Pack EC

King's Creek Plantation belonged to my 8th great grandfather, Lewis Burwell. My grandson has my "Burwell Book" to do a school report with or I'd be able to give any and all info. I have pictures in my "Burwell Book" of the cemetery and a close up or two with inscriptions. You know how there was always a "poor younger brother" back then? Well, Lewis was it :) He's mine, though, and I'm proud of him. I have the funniest letter he, Nathaniel and I believe James (I'd have to go look in the book...again) about the youngest being a "blockhead" and "if it takes going to school then off to school he shall go". It's a very funny letter although I'm sure it wasn't meant to be. At any rate, Lewis and King's Creek are in my direct family line. I appreciate very much knowing about all of this. I have a map showing where this golf course was in the 60s. What can I do to help? I'll climb fences and sit in front of bull dozers. (My husband is turning very pale....)

If anyone is near that location, please take a digital camera and preserve whatever is available there to be preserved. There is an old cemetery in Cobb County on Canton Road at Shallowford Road that is not well taken care of and I fear that developers will do the same. The owner will not let anyone on that property to take care of it or to even photograph the graves as she fears that it would devalue the property for future sale. I am trying to get ALL of Cobb County's cemeteries online. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gacobb/ Richard ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Shari Handley" <srh@tyaskin.com> To: STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 11:49:45 -0500 Subject: [STATE-COORD] Destruction of Kings Creek Plantation Cemetery > It is so upsetting when developers (or anyone, for that matter) > desecrates an old cemetery.

Check to see what that State's Law is in regard to the destruction of cemeteries. Can't be done in MO. Although, with its right of eminent domain, the State has had to "relocate" some. Phyllis
