I am forwarding this note from Esther that went to the state coordinator's
mailing list. She has decided to make a personal attack on me for some
reason. Therefore I will continue to put together a completely independent
Franklin County Genealogy page, completely independent of INGenWeb and the
USGenWeb. I am sorry your county coordinator has decided to attack me....I
guess better me than someone else. BTW my website will be at the old
address. This is the last you will hear from me on this list...
