Volks, Just to let you know we have _ 416 mail mode subscribers, 110 digest subscribers (526 total) _ There has been little activity. Jan & Feb are great months for indoor work. Please feel free to post surnames on which you are working. I was thinking the other day that I would like to get the _People's History of SW VA __ website activited. I have some material and it would be a work in progress. It might inspire some lively discussions on the subjects. Religion, accents/dielects, and foods are a few favorites of mine. Also, I would like to see some extracts of SW VA wills posted for the purpose of seeing what they can tell us about the life and times of our SW VA ancestors. Their standard of living, their means of livelyhood, etc. I know it is hard to find the time but I hope many of us could put some time into it. Thanks. -eddie owner/proprietor
