Pardon my bluntness, but "Who are you?" Your name cannot possibly be
'//webhost(a)localnet.com' lol
I have posted the North Twibell cemetery information a few times, only to find out that
the person coordinating the Blackford County website disappears, and takes the information
away with them, keeping it for themselves. I share my research with individuals, with the
knowledge that is what I'm doing. When I share my research to a group project, I have
the belief that is what I'm doing. The practice of the past Blackford County Indiana
RootsWeb coordinators has been dissappointing.
Not that you would do the same ~ I'll just state that I've been stunned at the
juvenile nature of a couple of the previous coordinators. I say that because I got sucked
in to cross-fire e-mails between two coordinators a few years back. It was pitiful. They
were trying to pit me, one against the other. I didn't know either of them. All I
wanted to do was share my research.
I'm so glad to share my research with anyone seeking genealogical assistance. I
research for free and share what I have for free. I get annoyed with those building a
web-site based on volunteer contributions of information, then getting their panties in a
bunch over little 'spit-spats' then they pull all the data that has been
contributed by volunteers to a common cause ~ rather than passing that information on to
the next coordinator of the common goal. I have been known to get my "panties in a
bunch" a time or two in my life, but I certainly don't make others pay for my
personal irritations.
I have the tombstone transcriptions in a database. I have photographs of every headstone
found to date. I have photographs before and after the restoration work that has been
done to date. I have photographs of the restoration work in progress. What would you
like from me and what format would you like the information in?
Please know ~ I do appreciate your volunteer effort to get the Blackford County site going
again. I just hope you won't follow in the footsteps of the past coordinators if you
decide you are no longer able to maintain the site.
Thanks for contacting me ~ happy to share . . .
Dawn
