Dear Researchers:
We have all been given a wonderful opportunity by Rootsweb. We can have
free web space on the WWW on the Rootsweb server to post items such as
queries, wills, deeds, census records, cemetery records, marriage records,
etc. on Callicotts & Callicos & variant spellings, etc.
If no one else wants the job, for now, I am willing to coordinate these
pages. But
there is one requirement. The person who requests the web space on a
particular surname needs to be a Rootsweb Sponsor. Depending how much you
sponsor Rootsweb determines how many surname pages you can sponsor. I
believe the ratio is: $12.00 to sponsor one surname page. $25.00 would
sponsor 2 surname pages. $50.00 for 4 surnames. $100.00 for 8 surnames.
I'm assuming that someone on the list is a Rootsweb sponsor. If so, let me
know, and I will submit your name as the sponsor, and see if they will
allow me to still be the coordinator of the page. Or, if you would rather,
you may contact Rootsweb yourself about this, and you could be the sponsor.
If you are already a Rootsweb Sponsor, then they will accept your previous
donation.
Here is how to contact Rootsweb about a donation if you wish to:
RootsWeb Gen. Data Coop. Box 6798 Frazier Park, CA 93222
http://www/rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html
These surname pages on the Rootsweb server are on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
basis. I assume this means that whoever contacts them first can be in
charge of a certain surname. Although, they also say they do not have
enough available web space for every single surname yet. So we need to
jump on this opportunity. Several family surname pages are already on the
Rootsweb server.
I am the list manager for quite a few different surname lists with
Rootsweb. I cannot financially afford to sponsor a web page for each of
the surnames I am working with. So I'm counting on someone else who is a
Rootsweb Sponsor to assist in this way.
I believe they want all these requests in ASAP and before the end of the
year.
Sincerely,
Glenn Gohr
