Everyone, If there are questions about the GenConnect gateway or the way the RootsWeb Pittsylvania County webpage query system has been restructured, please direct them to me personally, and not to the list. Thanks. Carol, I'm responding to the list because your question went to the list. As far as I know, no Patrick County query page has a gateway to VAPITTSY. If you have an example of an errant Patrick post, please send it to me. Glenn (the admin of the Pittsylvania GenConnect page) and I worked together to create the Pittsylvania GenConnect query page gateway to VAPITTSY on April 1 and I notified the list. It's worked pretty well and nobody has had any objections. It has two immediate benefits: 1) It is now unnecessary to check the Pittsylvania GenConnect query page if one is a subscriber to VAPITTSY 2) It allows Pittsylvania GenConnect query posters, who are not necessarily subscribers to VAPITTSY, to reach a larger audience. The downside is that it's possible to receive duplicate posts by persons who post to both VAPITTSY and Pittsylvania GenConnect. Another thing - now that Gayle's query page and surname page has migrated to GenConnect, we're going to get more posts on VAPITTSY. I believe the benefits outweigh any drawbacks, but I'm open to discussion - I'd really like any discussion on this, however, to take place offline (i.e. back and forth to me, personally). Thanks!

It seems to me to be taking up email space and too much time because I'm sure everyone researching these counties check regularly for queries. List owner, would you please reply?
