Perhaps we could have a set of Birth/death/marriage amendments and addition's volunteer, who could keep running alphabetical list of these. That way search engines could hit it, and also all the co.cc's and the pages could have a link to it,Then if you get an email demanding a change you just send them to the page in Rootsweb for submitting the additional info.We wouldn't have all those tiny ftp files and dozens of extra links to them throughout the system. This Rootsweb archive page of these could have a header as to why we cannot touch the state originals. susan David W. Morgan wrote: > > On Wed, 6 Jun 2001, Lawrence E.
