Hello everyone, I know it has been awhile since you have heard from me and I have been busy doing lots of things including Civil War reenactments and living history presentations. We are in the planning stage for Shenandoah County Heritage Day, Saturday April 10, 2004 at the Fire Hall in Edinburg. I am trying to use my reenactment contacts to add to next year's Heritage Day attractions, more on this as things develop. Now to the site updates. I have been updating and correcting and adding to the cemetery lists (by cemetery). I started at the top of the list and am as far down as St. Matthews Lutheran Cemetery in New Market. One thing I am adding to the lists is adding more information on military veterans, particularly Confederate veterans, as that is the information I have available to me. I have also added information to veterans of other wars as I can find it. It is important to me that we honor those who served to protect our country and as long as I can do so, I will ensure that the site shows who those people were and how they served. Another thing I have done (and will continue to do) is make the lists smaller, in other words, Riverview Cemetery in Strasburg now has twelve smaller (alphabetical) lists rather than six large ones, which load more quickly for those of us who use modem connections. Again, any contributions you would like to make to the site are welcome. If you have the opportunity, this month is the prime time for visiting the Shenandoah Valley, as I look out my window at this moment, there are rich gold colors in the landscape, but still plenty of green, so you have a week or two to get here and enjoy the Valley in all her fall splendor! The 139th reenactment of the battle of Cedar Creek in Middletown, VA next weekend, October 18-19, would be an excellent time to visit. Have a great weekend everyone, Don *************************************************** Don Silvius Co-coordinator Shenandoah County VAGenWeb <http://www.rootsweb.com/~vashenan/vashenan.html> <dsilvius@intrepid.net> <dsilvius@tlcdelivers.com> ***************************************************

Amazing! I sent this email ten days ago and have since sent another one in its place, and here is the original ten days later - back from a black hole in cyberspace ;-) You will notice that the date on the message is Fri, 10 Oct 2003. That's almost as slow as snail mail! I can't explain it! Sorry for the repeat emails, even if the first one did arrive after the repeat message!

Don't know the 'answer'. However, Rootsweb-L has had one server down for "Rehab" or repair. I don't know which Lists have been affected. Perhaps that is the answer.
