Hi everyone -- first of all I want to say that I will be gone from March 20 thru the 28th. We are going by amtrak to New Orleans -- unfortunately The City of New Orleans is the train we were taking back from there! I don't know what is going to happen with that - but my excitement about the trip is diminished now. I have been working on learning how to upload files to the Archive system. This system is for files that will be "owned" by the internet. The way I understand it, is that the information I have on my page is owned by me. If someone takes over the page, he can delete anything he wants. If the information is in the archive system, no one can delete it. T o access this information, there is a USGenWEb archive, a Wisconsin Archive and now a Lincoln and Marathon County archive. ( of course there are all the other states and counties!) The most recent one I uploaded was an index that I did from a book sent to me by Bob Stephan about the Presbyterian Church of Abbotsford. There is also the list of Marathon County postoffices ( which I have on the Marathon County page too) and some cemetery information is on both county archives. This was sent to me by Duane DeVoe. I will list the URL's - if you access the county pages, go to the Lincoln or Marathon County Archives and click. To reach the Table of Contents directly, go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/marathon/marathon.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/lincoln/lincoln.htm For the county main pages: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/ <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb </A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/">Marathon County Wisconsin Genealogy Wigenweb</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/marathon/marathon.htm">USGenWeb Marathon County, WI Table of Contents</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/lincoln/lincoln.htm">USGenWeb Lincoln County WI Table of Contents</A> I hope I did that right! But this system seems to be working, and more and more information is being put out there. check the Wisconsin archives, and the Usgenweb archives -- lots of stuff! And if you have any to send me, please do so. It should be in text form if possible. I'll do it when I get back! Shelley
