Hi Peggy,
A bit confused about your inspence email -- you ALREADY have a query page
through Ancestry - so you only direct them to that Query area (one of the
first links "Post and Read Spencer County Queries"
So if they just post and read from there -- that would be their posting a
query as you want, and it is already searchable, free & no need to learn
how to do html for these queries.
If return address doesn't show the jmurphy(a)erinet.com it is because
sometimes when on my man friend's computer then emails sent goes by his
sailors(a)cinci.rr.com - but it is STILL coming from me (so you know this
isn't spam or a fraud or any other type of email)
My best,
Judy M.

Subject: [INSPENCE] searching web site
Hi all,
I think you've all used the search engine on the Spencer County web site
and
found out what a great tool it is. Makes it so much easier for you to
find
names you're looking for! What you probably don't know is that freefind,
the
search engine, gives me a weekly report on what names have been searched.
I
don't know who made the search, only what names they are searching.
Sometimes I see names that are familiar to me, and sometimes I might have
some info
I can give to the person, but can't because I don't know who it is. So
I'm
trying to figure out something here. I'm looking into putting a query
page on
the web site-- it means I have to do some special html stuff--and first I
have to learn how to do that!
In the meantime--I saw someone was looking for Connor cemetery. I have
some
info on cemeteries but I don't have that one. But I did see that Connor
is
also known as Mt. Zion Christian Church. I think, but am not sure, that
the
same person is looking for Julius and Sallie Waters. In the Ebenezer
Cemetery, where some of my ancestors are buried, I found a Sallie M.
Waters, wife of
J. S. b. Oct 4, 1838. Unfortunately, the death date was illegible. Next
to
her was Eva J., her daughter, b. July 27, 1861, d. Aug. 26, 1864. J. S.
isn't there. According to my index of cemeteries, there are two more
listings
of Waters in books I don't have. He may have remarried and was buried in
a
different cemetery, with his next wife.
If you have brick walls, I encourage you to post them on this list. If I
can help, I will, and so will others. Kris Manley at the Rockport
Library, is
very helpful and you could ask her for a cemetery lookup. Soon I'll put a
brick wall page up on the web site.
Happy hunting,
Peggy
