Thank you much for the welcome - I had been trying to find where to subscribe to this list since the guidelines recommended it. I'm still muddling along here and have been reading up on county history for the last few nights. Although I manage a commercial website for our computer business, this is a very different type of site and I'm reluctant to make any changes to it til I get a feel for the way things are setup. Many thanks to Kevin Lett for all the tips he typed up for me! Laura Ellis ladytopaz@home.com

It is called OBIT-LOOKUPS and we are trying to compile a list of volunteers to do Obituary Lookups in old newspapers all over the world. I have a website that has the volunteers and it is at the following URL: http://members.aol.com/sjhcamp/index.html or <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/sjhcamp/index.html">EarthVision</A> I haven't had many volunteers from Virginia and I was wondering if you might want to add a link to your website. Or if you might want to spread the word. I would like to get as many volunteers as possible and be able to cover as much of the US as I can. We also have a few volunteers in Australia and Canada at this time. If you have any other suggestions on how I might recruit more people from Virginia I would love to hear them. If you would like more information visit the website below or email me qith questions. Thanks Susan Hovencamp sjhcamp@aol.com Co-ListOwner of: OBIT-LOOKUPS-L Obit Volunteer List at: http://members.aol.com/sjhcamp/index.html

Fellow Volunteers... I think it is very important that we acknowledge those among us that go the extra mile for our Project. I attempted to do that with my previous post. But I fell short, I was watching those volunteers that I named working hard around me and I forgot those Volunteers that put us in the position to be able to pull this off. I apologize for leaving them off my list. If it wasn't for the Nomination Committee that Ginger Hayes put together, and the work of that Committee, we would have had no candidates to vote for. So an apology and a very big thank you goes out to Ginger Hayes, Marceline Beem, Mary Ann Hetrick, Celia Snyder, and Marti Graham.

Hi Fellow USGenWeb Volunteers... Greetings from the Election Committee. You should be receiving your Ballots shortly. Our view of our current Voter list is that it is the best we could pull together in a short time, it is not perfect. Therefore there will be a one week period for anyone that believes that they are an eligible voter and have been missed by our efforts to contact us. There will probably be special exceptions beyond that week, but please don't count on that. Give your ballot a couple of days to arrive, if it does not, please contact the following Volunteers for your area on or before July 8th, please include your State and County, and anything else that you think might help us sort things out, such as your page or TOC URL. You should receive a reply that we have received your request. If for some reason, we do not believe that the request came from an eligible voter, that person will be immediately notified of our decision and a copy will be sent to the Board-Exec List. The Board may overturn our decision at that point or you may appeal through your Board Representative. We do not envision this happening, but we want to be prepared. We are eager to help you and make this the best election ever. Debbie axtman@premier1.net for the Northeast/North Central Region: States: Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin Jerimiah moer0020@tc.umn.edu for the Northwest/Plains Region: States: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming Ellen epack@accessearth.net Southeast/Mid-Atlantic Region: States: Alabama, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia Betsy betsym@1starnet.com Southwest/South Central: States: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah Jim jpowelljr@worldnet.att.net Special Projects Archives (includes Tombstone) Census We as a Committee, believe in the "Will of the Volunteers". That is our entire reason for working on this committee. We have worked well together. We are proud that we were allowed to do this. Now it is your turn. Check out the Candidates, and then VOTE. It is not just your right, but your responsibility. Good luck to all of the Candidates, and to our Project, USGenWeb. Do yourself and our Project Proud, VOTE. Thanks from the Election Committee... Debbie Axtman Jerimiah Moerke Ellen Pack Betsy Mills Yvonne James-Henderson Tim Pierce Jim Powell Jr We still have a long way to go, but as Chairman of the Elections Committee... I would like to thank Debbie Axtman for jumping back in there to give me a hand. I'd also like to think Jerimiah for being that lone Volunteer for awhile, treading water all by himself. And then there is Ellen, who said she would never do it again, but still came to our rescue. I personally inadvertently made her job harder and she still came through for you. Thank you Betsy, for actually going out and asking if the Nomination Page was current, it wasn't, you saved us a lot of embarrassment. Thank you Yvonne for being there and being willing to do whatever was necessary. Your work on that first day gave me the first real hope that we could do this. And then there is Tim Pierce, I would hope we could confer the title of Honorary Member of USGenWeb on Tim. With permission of the Committee I asked Tim to join us. He agreed and was an invaluable member of our Committee, he knew what he could do and couldn't do with the software etc. He was most definitely a can do type guy with all of our requests. I feel that this was a case of a Rootsweb staff member coming fully to our aid realizing what some members of our Project might think and still giving selflessly of his time and expertise. I just picked out a few special things about each one of these Volunteers. Each one of them spent countless hours checking and sorting addresses and verifying to the best of their ability eligible voters. I think them all collectively for their dedication and hard work. You should too. We do have one more Volunteer that hopefully I will be able to accommodate with something to do as we begin to chase bounces and add missing ballots, Richard Howland. Thanks Richard for volunteering. This is getting long, but there are two groups that I would also like to thank. The SC list for jumping to our rescue and resending missing voter lists and just being a general help. And to the Board for allowing me to try and pull this off, officially or unofficially, I'm not sure which at the moment. So here we are at your mercy, we would like the chance to correct any mistakes that we may have made and serve you to the best of our abilities. We are listening. Once more the Committee says "Please Vote" Jim Powell Jr
