REPLY: Melissa, I am very, very happy I found you also!!! I want
to be quick to point out that while Cliff and I have gotten this mailing list
started (which makes us very happy), as far as the actual hard work of
digging and working to provide a family tree/genealogy for the CAMIDGEs, all
the credit goes to Mike Camidge (Cliff's brother).
I believe this mailing list is a *wonderful* tool for the CAMIDGEs to
have meaningful family discussions and to pursue their genealogy. Cliff and
I are VERY glad to be a small part of it. We are MOST glad to have someone
who has done the actual hard work/*genealogy* part of it (Mike and Caroline
Camidge's website) and that Mike is kind enough and willing to *SHARE* that
information with this mailing list.
I don't know how many of you out there have been pursuing genealogy
(or for how long) but there are a *LOT* of websites that *charge a fee* for
information (and then, sometimes, the info you are looking for is not
there!!!). The people who "sponsor" and make this list possible -
ROOTSWEB.COM is a *free* website for the pursuit of genealogy. They are able
to do this by means of *donations* from people who use their website and by
means of *advertising* banners on their website.
For those of you who haven't visited their homepage
www.rootsweb.com
- I encourage you to do so! Also check out
www.USGenWeb.com -(sponsored by
Rootsweb.com). There are *SO* many resources available to us for doing some
"online" genealogy! ....most kind regards to all the list... Carolyn and Cliff
