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
Yes, they have had a major power outage among other things. You may see
previous versions of your web page (as I did on Augusta County), because
they are temporarily on backup. It should be cleared up soon---I hope.
Just be patient. <g>

I see what you mean. I just checked my three surname pages for New Kent
Co which all had names added this past week-end and all of the pages are
old versions. Two of them from mid Sept. and one from July. Those pages
had been updated several times since the ones that are now online.
Also, my main page is an old version. I'll try to upload the current
ones, again.

A message within the past hour from Brian to RootsWeb staff...
Not only did we lose WWW last night, but this morning a semitrailer
truck took out the high-voltage power lines across I-5 and
everything within 20 miles of the Pine Mountain NOC is without power.
We have the PMC NOC running on batteries and generators now.

Brian is working on it. It doesn't have anything to do with the new free

Does anyone know of any strange problems at Rootsweb? I updated pages this
weekend. They were all there and ok. Now they all reverted back to early

Dear Fauquier County, Virginia Genealogist,
I hope that you love Fauquier County and OUR web site as much as I do. It
has been my pleasure to get to know and work with many of you who have the
same love. Even though we may not live in Fauquier County, our appreciation
for its history and heritage can be very much a part of our lives.
Thanks to everyone for your contributions, especially to the 1850 Census
transcribers. Our census is the largest in Virginia in 1850. I have added
a permanent section to thank the twenty six people who transcribed and
proofed this census.
Some have indicated that they cannot find things on the site. I can
understand how you feel. To me this is like reading a new book or visiting
a new library. You just have to find your way around. You may have to
return several times. I am happy that so many of you enjoy the visit.
Please return often.
I have added a lot of new sites and information in the last week. Soo I
would like to invite you to return for a visit. Turns out we have a huge
amount of information available on this site. Far more than many may
imagine. So the ones who dig get the value.
>From many emails I know that some are missing wonderful parts to the our
site. The Gen Connect Wills are very confusing to many.
Return there and just visit. Add your ancestors family Bible or Obituary to
the sections found there.
There are many parts to this site that can really help you. Swems Index,
The Virginia State library, the Story sections, Fauquier County books,
Family Web Sites, Fauquier County library, Fredericksburg
Court Records, War of the Rebellion Records, and many more.
USGENWEB will never replace your personal research as we all know. So go
back to Virginia and visit the old home place and cemetery. Visit the
library and courthouse. Visit John Gott and the Heritage society. Visit
the Historical Society, Jackie Lee and the old Jail. Take the Ghost tour of
Warrenton. Visit the old antique stores.
Above all let us know of your experiences there. Add the pictures you take
of Fauquier County so we can all share your experience.
Family History is like a love affair. You just have to keep learning about
your family and the areas where your family lived. My mother's parents
both have roots in Fauquier County. So I am priviledged to say that I have
deep Fauquier County, Virginia roots. We are so fortunate to have the
records we have in Fauquier County. I am very grateful to the Yankees for
not burning the court house. We have wonderful records available to us in
those records. As genealogist we should want to preserve and cherish this
heritage.
I hope that you are contributing to a lot of the other USGENWEB sites. We
have to love the areas where our families lived.
When you find information on your family let the person know that you
enjoyed the visiting their site. Many who have the sites want to share, all
they want in return to be thanked for their efforts. If you have data that
they may enjoy please share that information with them.
Above all give the credit to the genealogist who provided you with the
information. Do not indicated that you did the research when you copied it
from someone else.
With computer technology we have the opportunity to preserve our heritage.
I would encourage you to make hard copies of the information you find on
the sites that you really enjoy.
It is my hope that we can work together for years to come to learn about
this heritage. This can be a learning experience for all of us as we share
our knowledge together.
I know there are some on the list who have great knowledge of Fauquier
County who are shall we say are standing on the sidelines.
I would encourage you to join us in the game. We need your knowledge and
expertise. We will all learn more about Fauquier County, if we all share
what we know.
Many are concerned that we are giving out incorrect genealogy.
We do not have that intent. If you find something that is incorrect let us
know. We want correct sources and information.
I can tell you who the real winners are in this project. They are the
people who have volunteered and helped make this a better site.
Just remember that you get as much out of something as you put in.
Just in case you do not get the message. I love Family History and Fauquier
County. Thanks to everyone who suscribes to this mailing list. We
appreciate your participation.

Freddie, I'd like to ask for you help. Would you mind forwarding this
to
your different county coordinators to send to their library and local
genealogy society?
This book includes all the cemeteries in McCulloch County, Texas.
We researched all the death certificates, funeral home records, obits
from old microfilms of the newspaper, city hall burial records and
cross-checked these dates with tombstone names and dates.
Would you mind forwarding this to anyone in your area who might be
interested?
The cost is $27.50 plus $3.50 postage. The books are printed on
heavy natural colored paper and have brown hard back covers with gold
letters. There are 356 pages and the book contains platts of some of the
cemeteries with all burial locations after each person's name.
If anyone is interested in buying a book, checks may be sent to me and
I'll get the books mailed the same day, or they can be ordered from
Richards Memorial Library , 1106 Blackburn St., Brady, TX 76825.
Thanks,
Louann Hall
McCulloch County, TX GenWeb Coordinator

Hello all,
I just got an email from someone else wanting to use 'my' graphics which is
fine, but I failed to give credit where credit is due on my last note. I
didn't make any of those graphics as I am about as artistic as a tree stump
:) So if you use any of the graphics on my pages, ALL of them require a
link back to the designer. I'll see if I can make it simpler...
On the archives pages, small graphics are made by Viki Mouse. My link back
to her web page is easy to spot...it's a MOUSE!!! She's wonderful & I
recommend you check out her page before deciding to use one of the graphics
on my page as you may find something you like better.
http://www.vikimouse.com/ Her site is HUGE, but keep looking & you'll find
the genealogy stuff. There are also graphics that are appropriate for
genealogy that she doesn't categorize as such, so look thru them all! If
you still want to use the ones I chose, be absolutely sure that you give
her the credit she deserves by adding a link to her page. You can just
copy the link from the bottom of my pages.
The lines, or seperaters, on the archives page are provided by CS Designs,
another wonderful graphics designer! Again, I recommend you visit her web
page at http://welcome.to/cherished_memories before deciding to use the
same graphics that I chose as she is indeed very talented and comes up with
new stuff all the time. But, if not, be sure to copy the link I have given
her from the bottom of my pages.
On my personal home page I use Glee Graphics
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Woods/5503/ Since my web page is
"sorta" a business page, I had to get special permission to use them. She
is also a very talented artist, so you may also want to visit her web site,
although I would very much prefer it if you didn't use the Puzzles in Time
theme :) However, it's a free world & I don't own it, so you can if you
really, REALLY, want to :)
There are tons of genelogy graphics out there today. It used to be really
hard to find them, but not anymore. One day I'll post a list for you guys,
but I just don't have time to do so today. Meanwhile, if you don't find
any like on these pages, you might try Cyndi's list to look for them, or
search for Genealogy Graphics on your favorite search engine.
Happy graphics hunting!
