Thought you all might want to see the latest project for TXGenWeb. I won't forward further issues to the list, unless there's special mention of Harrison Co., so make note of the URL included where past issues will be online. The part in this newsletter that's important is the request for support for Rootsweb, which makes this mail list possible, as well as all the USGenWeb sites housed on their server. If you haven't become a supporting part of Rootsweb's cooperative effort, please do consider it.
