Hi all,

Well, I think I finally got through the many email that were sent requesting
to be added to the first issue of the Barton Branches. If you haven't
receive a confirmation note from me, then I either didn't receive your
request, or it has gotten lost in the shuffle. The response has been
overwhelming! I'm really excited to be putting this into motion and know
that others will be as well once we really get rolling. In that line, I
have set up several web pages for you to access that will allow you to do
things such as submit subscription requests (for yourself or for others you
know would benefit from the Branches), send in articles, reunion information
or queries, and eventually upload files such as graphics and scans for
publication. Right now the following forms are working, and here are the
descriptions of what each is intended for:

Main Barton Branches page: http://bfp.webhop.org/barton.html This page is
the "jump" page to get to all the forms and eventually to back issues of the
Branches. This is the one to bookmark.

Barton Subscription page: http://bfp.webhop.org/bartonsub.html This is the
page to enter subscription requests. The requests can be for yourself,
personally, for others you know on and offline that might benefit, and for
places like genealogy societies and libraries in areas that have large
Barton ancestry populations.

Barton Query Submission form: http://bfp.webhop.org/bartonquery.html This
is the form for submitting your queries for publication. You will note that
queries require a query title, and queries themselves are 500 word max.

Barton Reunion Information Submission form:
http://bfp.webhop.org/bartonreunion.html This is the form for submitting
Barton reunion information that you would like to have published in the
Branches. This form can either be filled out by the reunion coordinator or
another with the relevant information.

Barton Text Submission form: http://bfp.webhop.org/bartontext.html This is
the form for submitting articles for publication in the Branches. These can
be any text type article, such as biographies, records
(birth/marriage/death/census/land/etc), obituaries, or other articles that
are either outside of copyright, or are written by you.

Coming soon! Barton File Submission form:
http://bfp.webhop.org/bartonfile.html This form is currently being worked
on by my technical guru, but will eventually allow you to upload
pre-formatted files such as ASCII text, Word and WordPerfect documents,
graphics in gif, tif, pcx, bmp and jpg format and the like. Temporarily
though, those files will need to be emailed to me, following the directions
on the temporary page.

As always, if you have any questions or problems, please email them to me
directly, and NOT to the list. To make sure that I read them right away,
please send anything concerning the Branches to: As the
first issue is due out in October, I will be accepting submissions for the
first issue of the Branches until Sept. 15, and any submissions after that
will be used in future issues.

Thanks so much!

Christi
