As a CC of a genweb site (just a small county, and only ONE now.) my look up volunteers are wonderful. I also know how you can easily get overwhelmed by it all. <BR/>RAOGK has helped me several times in my own research. I appreciate you guys a lot! <BR/>I cut back recently and now make time to read blogs. . . . I have discovered wonderful people with great stories to tell! Now its fun again!

You certainly have been busy helping others with lookups!<BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your kind mention of Genlighten and our blog. <BR/><BR/>Just a few minor clarifications: first, we still haven't quite launched yet... we're aiming for the FGS meeting in Philadelphia in September. If your readers visit the site now, they can take a look around, get a preview of what we're planning to offer, and register for an early invitation to our private beta release.<BR/><BR/>Second, though we're definitely aiming to provide "quick, affordable lookups" at Genlighten.com, our lookup providers will set their own fees, and I suspect not all will qualify as "low cost", particularly given the rising cost of gas, parking, and other research-related expenses.<BR/><BR/>Again, I'm very grateful to you for mentioning us. We do indeed aspire to become, as you put it, "a wonderful resource for our genealogy community."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-76544292762569328102008-07-08T14:21:00.000-07:002008-07-08T14:21:00.000-07:00Great post Miriam!Here is what I've been up to (wh...Great post Miriam!<BR/><BR/>Here is what I've been up to (when I am not cursing footnoteMaven's name for passing so many diversions my way):<BR/><BR/>http://destinationaustinfamily.blogspot.com/2008/07/random-acts-of-genealogy-kindness.htmlThomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.com
