I remember this post! Hard to believe how far we've come in two short
years. And serves as a reminder that yes, I still have some things I can
transcribe and send in.

For those of you that weren't around in the beginning of The
USGenWeb
Project, I found the message I posted to Roots-L on June 26,1996 that
brought hundreds, now thousands of volunteers that have helped get free
data online for researchers. After I posted the message (below), many
offers came to help get it started. Dale Schneider, George Waller, John
Rigdon, Brian Leverich and I had the site organized in just a few short
weeks. The only negative comments that followed were from folks that
were either hoping to profit from genealogy on the Internet, or were
concerned that free data would hurt genealogical societies.
