Thanks to Malinda and to Janet Hunter for bringing these issues to our attention, and to Sally and Steve for providing the legislative contact info. I'm the list administrator of EFSS-L@rootsweb.com (Early Families in Southern States), and I've just sent forwarded this information to our 425 list members. Maybe if we use the email channels to get genealogy researchers mobilized, we can stop this destruction. Pam Wilson wilsonpam@mindspring.com Arledge Family History Project
