Hi - Thanks to Marcia, Joyce, Betty and Char- I now have MANY obits for Marathon County. I am starting to enter current obits for Lincoln County, and Betty Martz has kindly offered to enter current obits for Marathon County. I certainly appreciate the work that has gone into sending in these obits. I am thinking of changing my config system so that anyone can enter the obits and biog, instead of forwarding them to me. (Hopefully in the near future this will get changed!) I certainly want to thank all those listed above for your help. PLEASE SEND ME ANY OBITS, BIOS, AND QUERIES,( <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarath/index.htm">Marathon County WIGenWeb </A> )YOU MAY HAVE FOR YOUR ANCESTOR - and check out the new GenConnect pages. I also was given a new list of material that Sharon Karow of Merrill has and it includes quite a bit of Marathon County, miscellaneous info of other counties, and of course, lots on Lincoln County. Check out the Lincoln county lookups page. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wilincol/">Lincoln County Wisconsin WiGenWeb</A> AND SEND YOUR OBITS, BIOS AND QUERIES! I was just nominated for the Palmer Award. This award was created to recognize the volunteer efforts of the County Coordinators in the USGenWeb project.. But if it weren't for all the help and the response I get from all of you, this would not have occurred. ( I haven't had time to enter the award on my Marathon County page yet - but soon!) I am the caregiver for my almost 90 year old aunt - and I spent most of yesterday in the emergency room and today she is having surgery for a cracked hip. So I will fall behind on keeping up with these pages for a while, but will get all taken care of soon. Thanks again to all of you--- Shelley
