To all
I posted my explanation about vanished content because I think? the people who have
visited these two sites should know what happened to the content? and why it will not be
available on GenWeb.. A great deal of the content was mine (on Jefferson County), probably
too much as many people came to think it was my site and I received many requests for
posting information or changes that was not within my ability to do. I felt I owed them an
explanation.
Actually, I think Sheila has done quite a good job with the Jennings County GenWeb Site
and should be complimented on it.? It's a big improvement over the last time I visited
it. There is a substantial increase in content of value local researchers. It's
certainly quality work in the same way Ruth's was. I have no personal quarrel with
Ruth or? Sheila. Ruth did a fabulous job and a lot of work and Sheila seems to be cut from
the same mold..
As to promotion, I've seen all sorts of history oriented information made available on
lists and I've been grateful when someone was able to point me to a resource that
might prove useful.
One of my points is that GenWeb faces the kind of competition from other resources that I
face everyday in my job. Once, I would have submitted many of the articles on the blogs to
a GenWeb site, particularly. Now, I don't have to and I don't view GenWeb sites as
competition because they are more family history oriented.
