From the Emails I have received MANY of you did not read the new URL closely
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gagen/
I put the Forsyth genweb material in a directory called gagen.
My default page is index.html.
Brenda Pierce was very unsure of the material she would have to try to
reclaim if I was asked to leave or if I dropped dead, because I had mixed my
personal Forsyth files and HSOFCI historical society files into my Forsyth
webspace.
First of course Brenda Webb, my co CC would have the choice to continue the
Forsyth Genweb page - heartbroken as she would be over me being dead or
thrown out.
But if Brenda Pierce did need to find that material which was donated to
gagen all she would have to hunt would be those files that are in the gagen
directory and move them to webspace of her choice so long as the original
submitter did not ask the RC or the SC for rheir removal. As exiting CC I
would have the right to ask that any special page design that I did be
removed along with my name and email.
Brenda Pierce has been very worried over this for a long time now. I realize
that I will be old enough to retire in a couple of more years but I have made
provisions.
I removed the Historical Society material to a new webspace issued to them by
Rootsweb.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafchs/
the directory hsofci
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/hsofci/
now contains a redirect page
I moved most of my personal Forsyth files either to my own domain
http://donnaparrish.com/
or to the Historical Society webspace.
Although I do have right to keep them in my webspace and have a directory
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/donnaparrish/
.
Any files on loan - for example the picture on on the front page
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/
will be in the main directory and not in the gagen directory
So if I drop dead those files located in
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gagen/
will be placed in the control of Brenda Webb my co CC or any future co Cc.
Should she decline then they will revert to GaGenweb
If I am asked to leave GaGen and am delinked , then I will remove the
GaGenweb Logos from my pages and delete the gagen directory after passing the
material to the new CC or RC or SC . The webspace remains mine. The space is
not issued to GaGenweb but to me.
Everyone on this project keeps mixing up
rootsweb.com and GaGenweb.
They are not the same legal entity.
Genweb doesn't have the rights to
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/
anymore than they do to
http://plant.sgc.peachnet.edu/~jbellis/genweb/appling/
When I gave up the Georgia Links and Information Pages on May 14th,
Virginia Crilley just "grabbed" the page where it was. I missed the
announcement of where it moved to or I would include the link here.
If and when I drop dead, the gainfo directory
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gainfo/
goes to Virginia Crilley or her replacement as Asst. SC.
Switching to Hall County
Dan Pierce is the co CC
the nega directory
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gahall/nega/
belongs to
Northeast Georgia Historical and Genealogical Society
and is maintained by Rebecca Homan the CC I replaced
This is in compliance with Rootsweb rules ("you may host your historical
societty" and that space is also issued to me.
White County and Gordon County have no extra directories at this time.
Dawson County Webspace is issued to Keith Giddeon and can be reassuned by him
at any time. All he has to do is go in and remove my name. As I said before,
that is why any personal files of mine are placed elsewhere and just linked
and again no insult to Keith meant. I just ike my personal material where I
can control it.
One of my emails stated that they considered
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/
to be my main page
rather than
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gagen/
That is their problem and I invite you to take a look at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gainfo/gaselection.htm
I just backed each URL up to the last directory shown.
If this is just too confusing for everyone I will move the Forsyth Genweb
page and material to another webspace provider where there is only one
directory.
Let me know if you want it moved. After all, I am not dead yet nor have I
been delinked. I know how to apply for webspace.
Current Directories of
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/
are
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/brendawebb
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/civilwar
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/donnaparrish
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gagen
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/gainfo
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/hsofci
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/originalmaterial
Note: Original Material are the doc files and xls files that were submitted.
Their contents have been placed into HTML pages and are accessible from the
main page.
