Greeting from the Webmaster

Hello everyone!

Here is the march newsletter, just a little late--again!, the boys and I have been sick a lot lately and I've not had a chance to put much online. Those darn colds and flus have hit us hard this year...
Luckily there have been a lot of submissions this past month, many are on line and I am doing my best to get more up as quickly as possible!
So check back at the site often!

A Few Notes...

NEW EMAIL

Please note that [email protected] email account closed in november. Please use the NEW email address [email protected] one good thing is that is has 25MB of space so you can submit more without my mailbox filling up!

Search

Please don't forget that you can search THIS SITE using the Freefind search engine at the top left. Unfortunetly there is no soundex search so be sure to try various name spellings. The transcriptions on this site are as accurate as possible in spelling, and we all know how terrible some of our ancestors, and those who wrote down records, were in the past! Best of luck!

Volunteer:

If you would like to transcribe any of the 1911 census in full for the site please let me know. Automated genealogy is only transcribing select headings.

Still looking...
I'm looking for someone to complete the Wolfe Island 1861 census. Chris Morrell (who passed away suddenly in march) had completed and submited Ward 1. It is on the site. If you would be interested in finishing the census please contact me.

This site now has over 862 pages up from 858 pages in feb.
This Newsletter has 158 subscribers, up from 144 in July.

If you would like to submit a "BRICK WALL" problem to the newsletter please email me with "Newsletter Brick Wall" in the subject line.

Other comments, notes, articles are also welcome to be added to the newsletter.

Other submissions to this newsletter are also welcome! Please email me!!
