Would everybody like to drop the requirements of posting all the URLs and files sizes of the birth, death, marriage and divorce records we upload? Would it be better if you just let us know that you have uploaded counties A-G death records for the years 1969? I know this list generates a lot of mail, and lot of folks get too much mail already. The idea of telling us the url and size of file on this list was to help us update the html TOCs- (table of contents) If it is ok with the regional files managers, who would have to go look up the URLs and file sizes, we can drop this.

Being the newbie, and with my gross inexperience at this.... FWIW, you got my vote to drop the posting of URLs, etc. And for those that need to know, the 1970 and 1969 Vital Death records are done for all the Texas counties and the files are sitting in their respective directories on the server.

Dear Everyone, It has been my pleasure and an honor working with you all on the Archives Project. To all those I have worked with, I thank you for your contributions and your friendship. As of this date I resign my posistion in regards to the Texas Archives for the Panhandle Region. With over 48+ counties to contend with, it is not my desire as a volunteer to spend the time necessary in extracting data from archive directories that I personally believe should be supplied by those whom upload the files. This goodwill courtesy has always been done in any of the projects I have been associated with over the years. I have been a member of the Texas GenWeb since 96 and it has always been the uploading volunteers whom have sent this information to CC's and managers of databases. I believe that the Regional Managers are just as important of volunteers as those whom upload files. Apparently the zeal for file uploading has overshadowed the work done by those whom work hard to keep the files visible to the general public. Best Wishes!
