Thank you Nancy for sharing this. It is truly beautiful. I learned about geese about seven years ago working for a local gentleman who has a wild bird refuge here. If anyone thinks they are not intelligent, they are fools. There is a specific social and common behaviour that is amazing.

We recently made the proposal that we begin an A-A page with links to individual Counties. As far as I know Catawba and Bladen are the only counties with an active page. Derick S.

Nevada doesn't have a "project" per se, but does have African American Research links???

I've been asked what other states besides Georgia have a special Project dedicated to African Americans. I informed the person I would ask here. So if your state has such would you kindly say so and/or provide the URL? Thanks, Tim

Does anyone know what's going on with ancestry.com? I have been trying to get on since 6:00 am and can't. I talked to a friend this morning, and she said she couldn't get on last night. Anyone know? Suzanne

I'm only forwarding this because I actually remember the e-mail thread he refers to and I don't see anywhere on this site where they ask for money. I got responses that referred to a CD that was worthless and for my life I'm unable to find it on www.usgenweb.us .

Unlike many of the warnings posted on this list that fall under the common law principle of "et caveat emptor", the usgenweb.us, et al, pages clearly pushes the limits of the felony fraud provisions under the United States Code. Heaven forbid, but we may all need to consider some kind of polite disclaimer on our state and county pages regarding our affiliation with usgenweb.org rather than usgenweb.xxx or other "copycats".

I'm not sure I understand the problem... this all links back to our USGenWeb stuff. It would appear that someone at our USGenWeb made an attempt to ensure that some dirty rascal DIDN'T get their hands on this URL for no-good... Perhaps I'm misunderstanding...?

At least one of the COGW CCs has redirected Mary Ann's mail to co@usgenweb.org while Mary Ann is unavailable. Won't the email to that addy be re-directed to Mary Ann? Is there some way to have it sent to me? In all honesty, I completely forgot about the xx@ and set up a yahoo account to have state mail for Mary Ann sent to. It would look so much better if the mail on the state pages was set up to go to the co@usgenweb.org. Thanks for any help! Leona GenealogyBug@gustafson.net COGW ASC
