Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Robert Bremer said in relation to the use of the logo - - -
My response:
I recently added the logo several weeks back when the caption
was corrected. I don't think that the logo is a necessity if the page
is otherwise clearly identified as part of the OHGenWeb Project. The
information our researchers need is more important than the logo.
My observation is that "branding" is important to any corporation or
organization that is attempting to acquire instant recognition by its
customers. Our "brand", image, indentification is - - in part - -
accomplished through the use of the logo(s). I'd suggest that the minimum
requirement be the use of USGenWeb Project logo and let the Ohio logo be
optional - - altho I could argue that it be required as well.
I agree with all of the other comments Bob made.

Yes, more is needed to ensure that we are meeting the needs of
our researchers. The only thing you can depend on now is that our pages
will have a USGenWeb logo and queries. Collectively, we can surely do
better than that. A lot of very useful information can be found on
OHGenWeb pages, but basic information on who to contact in the county
for information is often missing from many of our pages. Much of this
information is available in other reference sources, but people come to
our pages to find this kind of information. When it is not there, they
have to spend time doing further searching on the internet or invest in
expensive printed reference sources. Now that we are two years into the
project, it is time to consider meeting our researchers' need for basic
information on our counties and their records.
Judy Kelble wrote:

Addresses of the genealogical society, courthouse, and library
in the county with the genealogical/local history collection ought to be
required with their phone numbers and links to their web pages
recommended when applicable.
The date of formation of each county and the name(s) of the
parent counties ought to be required.
A more extensive list of recommended items could be developed;
however, making all of these items recommended ensures the status quo,
and does not help our researchers. Perhaps we should vote on them item
by item.

Howdy Buckeyes:
We have received word from Carin Bentley (carinb(a)us.ibm.com),
Clinton County CC [http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohclinto/clinton.html],
that she must place Clinton Co on the "Immediate Occupancy Available"
list.
Carin is due to be a mother soon! :-D
-=-=-=-=-
Carin: Here's hoping the delivery's a quick and painless
(as possible!) event, and that both you, daddy and new baby enjoy
a lifetime of making memories! And be sure to add another branch onto
that family tree! :-)
-=-=-=-=-
So...Clinton County is in need of a new host. Since the account is
currently established at Rootsweb, the transfer of host should be a
smooth one, as no relocation of pages should need to happen.
Clinton County is an *active* site with many visitors and has a
good base established. This position requires someone with
(A) an interest in the county available for adoption over and
above the fact that it is simply available for adoption;
(B) have greater-than-minimal HTML skills (believe me, they will
be needed!);
(C) a desire to be an active part of the OHGenWeb Project through
that county's site and/or other avenues available in OHGW.
If you (or someone you know) has an interest in hosting Clinton
County, please review the County Coordinator information located
at the OHGW site:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohgenweb/adopt.htm
Instruction for further action(s) for interested candidates is
available FYI there.
If we have no expressed interest by Noon EDT Friday, 21 Aug 98 (with a
preference for someone who either has no current county to host, or
with minimal county hosting obligations), we'll advertise outside Ohio
for any other interested individual(s).
Thanks!

- Another Year 2000 Bug
Now here is a Year 2000 bug I hadn't thought of previously.
Newsletter reader Dan Hamilton reports "A few weeks ago, I heard a
lecture [by Dave Munson] on epitaphs. He showed a slide of one
headstone which included the names of a deceased male and his not-
yet deceased wife, whose dates were listed as "1904-19__ ." He
said that if she survives for another 18 months, some stonecutter
will have to correct a Year 2000 problem! I wonder how many
headstones and monuments there are like that around the world."

For "i.", I suggest "Standards." Requirements is a little too strong a
word IMHO, but Guidelines a little wishy-washy. Standards, to me, falls
somewhere in between.
What is listed under #2 seems enough to me. Many of us do not live in the
county we maintain, let's not make it too difficult.
As for the other things mentioned under #3, it would be a good idea (again,
IMO) to have the address of the Court House, where to write for vital
records (and the time frame for each location). I've had several write to
me asking for the Court House address, would make it easier all around if
it were already posted on the page. Of course, I have the address of the
Genealogical Society on the main page, but still get an occasional request
for that address.
Well, to work now to change the logo and add the addresses of the Court
Houses (I keep forgetting to do that) BTW, I'll be gone next week from the
17th through the 21st, just in case you try to get me & I don't answer you

If something isn't broke, don't fix it... and think perhaps a list of
"suggestions" rather than "rules" would be nice.
I'm sure everyone could have a problem with at least one of the "rules"
suggested...
... I have a serious problem with Mr. Bremer's #1 "What is the address of the
local genealogical society? (or a link to them)", as I have one county whose
state affiliated OGS Gen Society, has major internal problems, with officers
and members resigning, and causing many problems that I won't go into here.
(OGS has been notified, and I understand, feels the society needs to solve
these problems themselves.) I do not feel right advising people to go to them
for membership or for help, at this time, and have pulled their address off of
my site (as I got tired of putting up with complaints). I will not be forced
to list this society until they can get their act together, and feel strong
enough to resign my 3 sites if forced to do so.
Willi Waltrip
It hurts, but I feel we gotta do it.
I have reworded the 'whatcha-ma-call-its' on the so called requirements
page to reflect my thoughts that 'keeping data current' means queries, not
all of anyone's research. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohgenweb/require.htm.
Because I have linked to this page from the state page, does not make it
so. We do need to have some discussion and decision.
#1 What do we call 'them'?
a. By-laws
b. Guidelines
(Roget's sticks 'mitzvah [Heb]' in here)
c. Requirements
d. Formula
e. Recipe
f. Instructive
g. Precept
h. Blueprint
i. 'your suggestion here'
As Wally reminded us, the following is what we agreed to do in the
beginning. Do we need more?
1.) mount -a- page
2.) build a group of volunteers to do lookups
3.) collect and mount queries
4.) link to the main state and national project pages, and (later when, it
was proposed) use the Project logos (but only on that which belongs to the
project).
Wally Garchow <wally(a)calweb.com>
#3 What should be included along with what we already have?
The following was sent in by Robert Bremer <bremerr(a)oclc.org>. As he
noted, a lot of us have most or all of this information already. Should
this be a set of ideas that would be recommended for inclusion rather than
part of the 'must be' items?
1) What is the address of the local genealogical society? (or a link to them)
2) When was the county formed and from what other counties?
3) What year do the marriage records start for the county?
4) What are the names of the townships in the county?
5) What is the address of the county courthouse?
6) Have any courthouse records ever been filmed by the LDS?
7) What is the address of the public library?
8) Is there or is there not a local historical society?
Are there other questions that should be considered for inclusion?
#4 Speaking of logos. USGenWeb requires us to have their logo on the front
page. The OHGenWeb logo is not so required. Should it be?
This is your organization, let us all hear how you feel.

Hi All,
A while back I realized that there is a commerial company called Ohio
Genweb. They have a copy right on that name. We have a logo that reads Ohio
Genweb. This an infringement on their copyright. Not good.
I asked Stacy Whitney to redo the logo to read OHGenWeb, she did. I put
those logos onto the state page and changed the logo on the web site. I
then immediately had a Senior Moment and forgot to let all of you know that
you need to change the logo you have on all of your pages. I don't want any
of you getting into trouble because of the logo.
Delete the current OHGenWeb logo from your HD and then replace it with
one from the logo page. Go to the state website
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohgenweb, click on the link to the logo page and
chose the size and color that you want on your page.
So many people are away on vacation that I'll be putting a reminder up
in a week or so. Try to get these changed as soon as you do any other
updates to your county site.
I appologize to Stacy for not taking advantage of her quick response to
my request and I appologize to all of the CCs for not getting the word out
sooner.
Peace, Judy

Hi All,
I do have something similar, but it is just pretaining to photo's for Lawrence
co. Under my Family section, I have a catagory for Photo's, ones we know who
they are and a sub catagory for Unidentified Photo's. There has been some
success with this. I strongly urge folks to do this. For I know many of us,
have photo's we have no idea who they are. What greater place to ask than the

I love the McConnelsville Library. It is the ONLY genealogy library where
a worker person can actually go since they are open long hours. They have
such a delightful quiet room. The people are charming and the machine that
you run the newspapers on actually works! The copier is never broke down.
(If it was, they have a spare) It seem every time I go to one of these
genealogy libraries and find something really great, their copier is broke!
And they have handwritten journals that can't be found anywhere else. ...

Hi Everyone!
I am slowly beginning to get caught up. My next project is to reupdate the
clickable map and then onwards. Things are slow as I only have a 2400 baud
modem. Thanks to Kat, Karin, and Mary Jane I added some more pictures of
courthouses both old and new. They can be viewed at
http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/Courthouses/county_courthouses.html and
following are the changes I made.
Courthouses that have been updated or added are:
Allen County was added.
Darke County was updated.
Delaware County was updated.
Erie County was updated.
Harrison County was added.
Knox County was added.
Licking County was added.
Lucas County was added.
Marion County was updated.
Medina County was updated.
Mercer County was added.
Montgomery County was added.
Muskingum County was updated.
Putnam County was added.
Ross County was updated.
Sandusky County was updated.
Wayne County was updated.
Enjoy,
Maggie

Hi All,
Please make sure none of Ohio counties make it difficult for
researchers. Thanks for all your hard work!
