It seems to be my night for regrets.. Janice Marasch, our Outagamie County Coordinator has decided after careful consideration to place Outagamie County up for adoption. Jan's commitment to WIGenWeb and Outagamie County has been extraordinary. We all will miss her contribution to WIGenWeb. Janice, I am sure everyone will join me in wishing you the very best in the future. Be very proud of the contribution that you have made to online genealogy, and please don't be a stranger to WIGenWeb! Paula Vaughn who has been "baby-sitting" Outagamie for a bit, wants to concentrate on Waupaca County. Thank you Paula for taking such good care of Outagamie! I am placing Outagamie County up for "Adoption"... Tina

It is with regret, that I announce that Dawn Knauft is stepping down as Dane County, WIGenWeb Project County Coordinator. I want to take this opportunity to thank Dawn for her 4 years with WIGenWeb Project. Join me in wishing Dawn the very best with her future endeavors! She assures me that she will be out and about! Dawn's hard work and dedication to Dane County, will serve the new County Coordinator and visitors well. Peggy Perry, our Iowa County Coordinator, will step into Dawn's position. With ties to Dane County, I am certain that Dane will be in terrific hands. Peggy, welcome to your new role! Again, my very best wishes and thanks to Dawn! Tina

FYI.. Tina ____ Subj: [STATE-COORD-L] Election Study Committee Report Date: 10/31/00 11:49:27 PM Eastern Standard Time From:    hollyft@bright.net (Holly Timm) Reply-to:    STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com To:    STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com The Election Study Committee has completed its report and respectfully submits to the USGenWeb Project's Advisory Board and to the USGenWeb Project as a whole. It is available at:     http://www.timmweb.pair.com/esc/report.html The committee has decided to share the voting *barometer* on the report preparation. As you can imagine keeping track of approval of the many sections was a bit mind-boggling. We used the graphic at:     http://www.timmweb.pair.com/esc/esc.gif to keep track as we went along. The top two lines are the final round of acceptance of the full report and the minor tweaking as we voted on it. The bottom two lines were a couple of specific items as we worked through the sections, all 27 of them! (The names have been removed from the barometer.) Green indicates a vote to accept a section. The gray column is me... as chair I did not vote and the Y indications on the final two rounds (the top two rows) merely indicate that I also accepted the final report but do not count in the vote total. Personally, I would like to thank the members of the Election Study Committee for their hard work and devotion to the task. We did not always agree but everyone managed to hang in there and talk through those areas. I am exceedingly proud of the quality of the members of this project as a whole, the terrific response we got to our election survey. My special thanks go to the committee members and to those who responded to our survey but also to all those in this great project as it is you who made this a worthwhile project to undertake. Holly Timm Chair, Election Study Committee

I need the password for Adams. Thanks.

There is a Pre-1903 Death, Birth, and Marriage Index on microfilm which is at most local libraries, if not, perhaps you can get it interlibrary loan? Also, I am sending this to a couple mailing lists, and perhaps someone would be nice enough to do a lookup for you in the near future. I live in California, so, no can do... In addition, there is an AskMcMillan link, that they will do limited lookups... http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/mcm/library/askmcm.html Good luck on the CUMBERLAND search.

I had to put in my two cents. BUT, if it is LEGAL, then even if you don't like it, there is nothing to be done. BURNING THE FLAG is legal but makes me want to puke that anyone would do such a thing... Publishing the congressional records complete with all military names, ranks, SSNs, birthdates and home of records is unthinkable (as with that, you can get into everyone's credit and financial records), yet it has been done and declared legal. Many people are now bankrupted. Most information is available on-line, including all my personal data, as it was put in a veteran's data base that is considered public domain. Remember when we scoffed at the BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING - Orson Wells era??? Well, get used to it as we are in it now. And for all of you that state that you don't put living people's information on the internet, check your obits, check your bios, check your QUERIES... You might not be doing it intentionally, but you are doing it and so are people posting the queries to the mailing list, which by the way are archived and anyone can access (HI, my name and address is such as such, I am on vacation for two weeks, come and rob me blind) ... And to make a statement, well, if we don't post anything after this date, there are people living into the hundreds now, so technically we can't post anything prior to 1900... And to exclude data will make the record invalid... Such a delemia... What I suggest is to remember the purpose we are publishing the information. And that there will always be sneaky people doing illigal things. I certainly wouldn't be going to the USGenWEb site (no offense) if I were a criminal, there are too many other valuable databases, easier to access, including the county and state courthouses, the military indexes, and others... Just pick your favorite search engine, and go for it. It is unbelievable what you will find. Just my thoughts, BTW, I respect people's right to boycott USGenWEb and RootsWEB (although I think it is defeating the purpose), I also respect the right of others to publish within the legal limits, despite how distasteful that may be...

The Town of Marshall is now on-line: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wirichla/chap27.htm This puts 1/2 of the township histories on-line. 8 down, 8 to go. However, the first 8 represent 117 of the 324 pages involved, so some big ones remain. The Town of Ithaca will be the next to be put on-line. Tim
