I started working on Madison County TNGenWeb in August 2001. The old web site was taken down immediately (much to my dismay) before I had time to make a new one. There was a temporary page announcing that the site was under reconstruction and to check back later. I remember hurriedly copying files from my old Yesterday's Madison County web site to TNGenWeb and linking them to the temporary page just so something would be available to visitors. I received all the files from the old web site(s). When I did get a new Madison County genweb page online in mid September, I reused a number of files from first Madison Co. CC Laura Griffith. Her archived queries, population, communities, and marriage bonds pages are still online at the genweb page or at records. The first cemetery pages appeared while Lela Knight Ashburn was CC. They are still online. She did one set of archived queries (still online). I did not reuse her other pages. The present query board was started while she was CC, as did the present maillist. These pages below are not functional but:: www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/older/index1.html This is what Madison County TNGenWeb looked like under its second CC Lela Knight Ashburn www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/older/index2.html This is what Madison County TNGenWeb looked like under its third CC Noel C. Matthews I had forgotten Noel C. Matthews was CC. He took Lela's main page and made it colorful. Athough there are two files I cannot assign to a specific CC, I do not think he made either. I never erase the files that I did not reuse, maybe it is the historian in me. Yesterday I copied them to records. David

David...I visited this page http://www.tngenweb.org/records/chester/cemeteries/newfriend.htm and tried to use the link at the bottom of the page but when I click on the link it comes up with a Not Found Thanks for all the hard work you have done. It is such a help to those of us who are out of state. Peggy
