Cousins,
Hope all of you are making progress with your lines! We have new cousins
with us on the list. Now that everyone has had time to get feet wet, let's
have a roll call - please send a post to the list with your line of this
surname, and include information about your ancestors with this surname
such as where they lived, when they migrated, what work they did, and such.
Have recently found out about and become involved with a new and exciting
online resource that I think can really be a great help - Migrations
http://www.migrations.org/. Have volunteered by adopting some counties
and am in the process of entering my ancestors into that database - hope
that you will do the same! Another new one with which I volunteer is AHGP
http://www.ahgp.org/, and it is growing by leaps and bounds. Am still a
County Coordinator for some counties with USGenWeb
http://www.usgenweb.org/, and would like to encourage you to share any data
you might have such as censuses or wills or biographical material with the
County Coordinator (of either or both projects) for any counties in which
your ancestors lived. Please also volunteer with these or any of the
other online volunteer genealogy projects - without volunteers, the
projects will cease to exist. Whether you adopt a county or a surname or
contribute data or whatever, help is always needed.
I've revised the genealogy links off my homepage (the url is in my sig) -
if you know of a resource that is very helpful to you which I have not
included, please tell me about it - these lists of links are ones that
listmembers have asked for over the years and at times have suggested be
included.
Your listowner,
