Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
The following county coordinators have not checked in in several
months. We waited until after the 15th of Jan to see if more would
check in. The counties that are being declared abandoned are:
Cheyenne, Crowley, Kiowa, Logan, and Park.
I will take Park.
Lee we have a lady interested in Morgan Co. when I hear back from her
I will give her the passwords and if it is ok with you, we have a new
coordinator for Morgan Co. She is a CC in NV.
Gail
Thanks, Lee
Let's hope that it finds a new caregiver soon.

Morgan has a new entry page that allows access to the rest of the pages.
All external URLs have been resolved, all email addresses were checked and
those that bounced were flagged. Doing some touchup on page format/colors
for a handfull of pages that have Front Page-themes assigned that didn't
work but I'm pretty much done.
I hung a ready for new occupant sign.

I have completed code clean up work, tried to improve the look,
consistency, and navigation on all the pages in the main directory and
CCinfo and Map. You probably can find pages you've never seen
before.. For instance the about CoGenWeb/USGenweb, tin type and others
which I had not found any links to. I made the links to the counties
consistent.
I checked all the counties that their URL's do not end in / or
index.htm/index.html, anything that worked by going to the root directory
I changed to / which is all that is needed. There were a few counties that
do not have an index file and if you go to the root directory it shows the
file list instead of the website. They should all make a copy of their
main page and name it index.html, this will fix the problem. They should
leave the main page in place so it doesn't break any links, but I would set
it up to redirect the page to the index page. This needs to be in the head
tag some where.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=index.html">
That is what I did with the comain.htm page. They would have to
change all the links in their site that go to something like "comain.htm"
to index.html
It's not that hard, it depends on the capability of your program
you are using to edit. First open county(whatever).html to edit it, save
it as index.html This creates a new file with out changing the
original. I don't know if it can do a global find and replace but you will
need to change your links. in your pages to your original page to
index.html. Like I did with the Cogen site and changed <a
href="comain.htm">home</a> to <a href="index.html">home</a>
Then reopen county(whatever).html put the following line some where in top
of the head anywhere above the </head> tag will work. Save it normally.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=index.html">
This then makes your lake.html page when it is loaded send people to your
index.html page. Eventually everyone and search engines will pick up on
the new page.
I also got a "550 /robots.txt: no such file or directory" error
when their sites loaded, I think it is because they do not have an
index.htm or index.html file.
The following counties NEED an index.html file!!! There were others that
could use an improvement to theirs. If you go to the root URL it shows the
directory of the files because there is not an index.htm or index.html file.

In going through some old books that I had purchased I found a penny postcard dated March 9, 1944, addressed to Michael Muro in Denver. Is was from Henry C. Schultz. If anyone wants it please let me know. You may want to put this on the various lists or message boards, maybe we can find some family that would like to have it.

I can tell you that the information in ./maps, ./medi and ./law are archives
or works in progress that Mary Ann never finished.
The medi(cal) directory has scans of the Colorado pages of a 1903 national
doctors directory. Mary Ann never did get it transcribed into text.
The ./map/1899 directory has copies of sections of an 1899 map that Don
Stanwyck scanned and donated to the COGenWeb. As far as I know this is the
only copy in existance (unless Don kept one.)
The ./map/evolution directory has a backup copy of Don Stanwyck's slide show
showing how Colorado counties were formed.
No idea what Mary Ann had in mind for the summary of commercial law page
scans in the /law directory. I didn't see any use for it in 2006 but left
it in place.

Well then I had to go look because I didn't know either, there is
a LOT of stuff on the state page and it's not organized very well. We have
county information and coordinator information spread across 3 pages. The
map is in a directory all by it's self for no apparent reason. I thought
about moving it but hate to change existing URL's. I've no clue why there
is a directory called law with nothing but images in it which are poorly
scanned images of some law guide.

re: cc/county listing
Two problems with your Morgan Co listing. You have "~coMorgan" instead of
"~comorgan" so it gives a broken link. Megan Trew is our Morgan CC (she
checked in New Years Eve) but is apparently still having troubles accessing
the directory to make changes.
Your "Unknown" county entry on the last line certainly wasn't founded in
1889 from Bent and doesn't have Lamar as county seat.
re: COGenWeb Special Projects
Mary Ann Hetrick was our State Coordinator until the summer of 2006 when she
resigned. I don't know if Sundee recovered the password for conames (Native
Americans) or cokids? but Sundee would appear to be responsible for Gold
Mine since it is in the main directory.
re: USGenWeb Special Projects
I thought you were going to add a section below the COGenWeb Special
Projects for links to the Colorado pages of the USGenWeb ones? The
Archives, Tombstone Transcription Project, Census, etc.

I just did an update on the site, and something must of happened, none of my
photos are showing up now. I'll have to go back and work on it some more.
Thanks for the heads up

Jan,
No actually, I said that I submitted several years ago, photos to the
Lee
and Sandi Smith's Colorado Tombstone Transcription Project and they
were
there once, but are now gone.
I also found several of my photos of Highlandlake Cemetery on the Find
a
Grave website submitted from someone else. I did send an email asking
that
they give me and Historic Highlandlake credit for the photos. We will
see
what they say.

I imagine, I did get through to the "Find a Grave" and volunteered
saying
"since you are using my photo's I might as well get credit" We'll see
what
they do with that.
Did Pauli say she submitted photo's to Tombstone and they ended up on
Find a
Grave? If so it doesn't even sound like they got to the right person.
They end up on Find A Grave and it's all part of Ancestry.com anyway.
The

It doesn't make a bit of difference where you publish your photos. If
you
have them on the internet, you can count on them being found by someone
who
doesn't care about or understand the law. I had my projects on my
county
sites on Rootsweb. Moving them to a society account on another server
won't
fix the problem.
I had the cemetery name and location plus the photographer name and
copyright as added margin text on the face of the photos. The person
who
copied them cropped them to remove all the added identifying tags.
Watermarks are one option but that only allows you to prove ownership
after
the copyright violation has happened. It doesn't prevent the copy/post
elsewhere from happening.

Hi All,
I think that's another good reason to keep them on cogen's county
sites. By
putting the name and dates of the headstone on it it's also hard to get
rid
of. I'll check with my son who is the website guru here, there's got
to be
a way to put something like a watermark on photo's.
If Cogen doesn't agree with me, I'll put them up on my hist. soc. web
site.
